R help - Apr 2011 - Speeding up "Multinomial Logit"/"Proportional odds model" in R vs stata?

Hi all,

An R blogger just published a comparison between R and stata for performing:

   - Multinomial Logit
   - Proportional odds model
   - Generalized Logit

At:
http://ekonometrics.blogspot.com/2011/04/speeding-tickets-for-r-and-stata.html

The benchmark used (as mentioned in the comment to the post) isn't the best
one.

Still, since the differences are in the magnitude of x6-x20 (in favor of
stata), I thought it might be of interest to someone on the list to check if
there is some substantial speed improvement that might be possible.


With respect,
Tal
