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,

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

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?

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

Sir, I want to fit a multinomial logistic regression in R.I think mlogit() is the function for doing this. mlogit () is in packege globaltest.But, I can not install this package. I use the following: install.packages("globaltest") Can you help me? Regards, Suman Dhara [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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,

I have two questions: 1. If I want to do a binomial logit, how to handle the categorical response variable? Data for the response variables are not numerical, but text. 2. What if I want to do a multinomial logit, still with categorical response variable? The variable has 5 non-numerical response levels, I have to do it with a multinomial logit. Any input is highly appreciated! Thanks! Ed

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

Hello, I am VERY new to R (one week) and I am trying to run a multinomial logit model. The model I am using is > model1 <- multinom(Y ~ X1 + X2 + , ..., Xn) if I put in > summary(model1) I get #Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function "fitted", for signature "multinom" and if I put in > coef(model1)

Dear Colleagues I have been fitting some multinomial logistic regression models using R (version 1.6.1 on a linux box) and Stata 7. Although the vast majority of the parameter estimates and standard errors I get from R are the same as those from Stata (given rounding errors and so on), there are a few estimates for the same model which are quite different. I would be most grateful if

Dear everybody! Are there algorithms for multinominal logit/probit available for R? Is it my fault that I cannot find these in CRAN?

Hello list, Is there any mean to fit models for ordinal response other than multinomial polytomous ("multinom" from nnet ) and cumulative logit ("polr" from MASS)? I am particularly interested in continuation-ratio model and adjacent-category logit model. It is for the sake of epidemiology in wild-living populations! Many thanks, Emmanuelle Fromont

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

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

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 All: I am interested in multinomial logit models (function multinon, library nnet) but I'm having troubles in choose whether to define the predictors as factors or not. I had posted earlier this example (thanks for the reply ronggui): worms<- data.frame(year= rep(2000:2004, c(3,3,3,3,3)),age=rep(1:3,5),

Running a binary logit model on the data df <- data.frame(y=sample(letters[1:3], 100, repl=T), x=rnorm(100)) reveals some residual deviance: summary(glm(y ~ ., data=df, family=binomial("logit"))) However, running a multinomial model on that data (multinom, nnet) reveals a residual deviance: summary(multinom(y ~ ., data=df)) On page 203, the MASS book says that "here the

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]]

I applied bootpred for multinomial logistic reg. (with nnet package). I used same as theta.fit and theta.predict of R for my data. but give me error. Can I do this with response vriable;7 levels predictor variables:5 (1 classifier, 4 continuous)?   Thanks alot Azam   [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

If one estimates a model using multinom, is it possible to perform the omnibus LR test ( the analogue to omnibus F in linear models ) using the output from multinom ? The residual deviance is there but I was hoping I could somehow pull out the deviance based on just using an intercept ? Sample code is below from the CAR book but I wasn't sure how to do it based on that example. Thanks
