similar to: NNET conditional Multinomial logit

I want to get the logLik to calculate McFadden.R2 ,ML.R2 and Cragg.Uhler.R2, but the value from multinom does not have logLik.So my quetion is : is logLik meaningful to multinomial logistic model from multinom?If it does, how can I get it? Thank you! ps: I konw VGAM has function to get the multinomial logistic model with logLik, but I prefer use the function from "official" R

Hi all, I have a dataset with a response variable with three categories (1, 2, 3) and a lot of continuous variables. I'd like to make a MLR with these variables. I've been watching the libraries nnet and zelig for this purpose but I don't understand them well. I use a training sample data to make the MLR. train.set <- sample(1:1000,1000*0.7) I have done this: library(nnet) net

Hello and thanks in advance for any advice. I am not clear how, in practice, the multinom() function in nnet and the multinomial() function in VGAM differ in terms of interpretation. I understand that they are fit differently. Are there certain scenarios where one is more appropriate than the other? In my case I have a dependent variable with 4 categories and 1 binary and 4 continuous

Dear R users, I would like to know if there is a package in R that estimates multinomial logit models (without using surrogate Poisson models) -or even better- nested multinomial logit models? I am using the Windows version of R (Windows 95). To my understanding, the S package called nnet does that, but it seems not to work in R. Thanking in advance for any help, Marjo Pyy-Martikainen

Dear R-Help, I'm hoping to find a Multinomial Nested Logit package in R. It would be great to find something analogous to "PROC MDC" in SAS: > The MDC (Multinomial Discrete Choice) procedure analyzes models > where the > choice set consists of multiple alternatives. This procedure > supports conditional logit, > mixed logit, heteroscedastic extreme value,

I am looking into using the multinomial logistic regression option in the nnet library and have two questions about formatting the data. 1. Can data be analysed in the following format or does it need to be transformed into count data, such as the housing data in MASS?

Hola todos Cuando realizo las predicciones del modelo multinomial con el paquete nnet, estas cambian cada vez que lo ejecuto ... saben por qué pasa esto ?? Gracias por la ayuda. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I am wanting to fit some multinomial logit models (multinom command in package nnet) Is it possible to do any model checking techniques on these models e.g. residual, leverage etc. I cannot seem to find any commands that will allow me to do this. Many thanks ---------------------- L.E.Gross L.E.Gross at maths.hull.ac.uk

Hi, I am trying to carry out a multinomial regression using the cumlogit link function. I have tried using the VGAM package, and have gotten some results... fit1 <- vgam(Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4, cumulative(link=logit,intercept.apply=FALSE,parallel=TRUE), data = data1 ) The problem arrises when I try to get the information out of the fitted object. I can

Good morning, I'd like to estimate a simple multinomial logit model in R (not a McFadden conditional logit). For instance, I'd like to estimate the probability of someone having one of eight titles in a company with the independent variables being the company characteristics. A binary logit is well documented. What about the multinomial? Thanks, Walt Paczkowski

Dear All I am trying to fit a multinomial logistic regression to a data set with a size of 94279 by 14 entries. The data frame has one "sample" column which is the categorical variable, and the number of different categories is 9. The size of the data set (as a csv file) is less than 10 MB. I tried to fit a multinomial logistic regression, either using vglm() from the VGAM package or

Hello, after calculating a multinomial logit regression on my data, I compared the output to an output retrieved with SPSS 18 (Mac). The coefficients appear to be the same, but the logLik (and therefore fit) values differ widely. Why? The regression in R: set.seed(1234) df <- data.frame( "y"=factor(sample(LETTERS[1:3], 143, repl=T, prob=c(4, 1, 10))), "a"=sample(1:5,

Dear all, I am new to R and would like to run a multinomial logistic regression on my dataset (3 predictors for 1 dependent variables) I have used the vglm function from the VGAM package and got some results. Using the predict() function, I obtained the probability table I was looking for. However, I would like to fully understand how the predict() function generates the probabilities or in

Is there any library for fitting multinomial probit using either likelihood or the "method of simulated moments" or both. I presume it would be possible to write a family function in VGAM for the multinomial probit, but was hoping that someone has done it already. Thanking you as always. Vumani Dlamini CSO-Swaziland

Hi, I am trying to obtain p-values for coefficient estimates in a multinomial logit model. Although I am able to test for significance using other methods (e.g., Wald statistics), I can't seem to get R to give me simple p-values. I am sure there is a very simple solution to this, but the R archives seem to have nothing on this issue. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! Best,

Dear: I try to analysis multinomial logistic regression using vglm in VGAM package. However, I wonder how many levels of responses variable this command is suitable. I saw the examples in google search works for 3 levels, say 1,2,3. However, my response variable is more than 3 levels. Is it working for my case or have alternative approach? Many thanks!

Hi, how can I do multinomial logistic regression in R? I think glm() can only handle binary response variable, and polr() can only handle ordinal response variable. how to do logistic regression with multinomial response variable? Thanks __________________________________

Dear all, I am facing some problem with how to fit a "Baseline category Logit model" with R. Basically I am considering famous "Alligator" data as discussed by Agresti. This data can also be found here: https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat504/node/174 (there is also an accompanying R file, however the underlying R code could not load the data properly!!!) Below are

Hello R users, I have a puzzle with the VGAM package, on my first excursion into generalized additive models, in that this very nice package seems to want to do either more or less than what I want. Precisely, I have a 4-component outcome, y, and am fitting multinomial logistic regression with one predictor x. What I would like to find out is, is there a single nonlinear function f(x) which acts
