Hello All, I'm trying to run a multinomial probit on a dataset with 28 data points and five levels (0,1,2,3,4) in the latent choice involving response variable. I downloaded the latest mnp package to run the regression. It starts the calculation and then crashes the rpogram. I wish I could give the error message but it literally shuts down R without a warning. I'm using the R

Hi all, Does anyone knows how to handle ordered preferences applying the R package mlogit (multinomial logit model)? My data set provides for each customer preferences (given as percentages) for 6 different brands. I would like to use for model calibration not just that brand with maximum stated preference. I know that ordered preferences can be used in the R package MNP (multinomial Probit

Hi, I'm struggling trying to specify a multinomial logit discrete choice model in R. Any help and/or code examples appreciated. I am specifically interested in specifying a model where no universal choice set exists and each choice set has a variable number of alternatives (one of which is chosen) see data below. Many Thanks, David PS I have asked earlier but without reply. Is it

Thanks for your answers Stephen and Ben, I hope I am posting on the correct list now. I managed so far to run the multinomial model with random effect with the following command: MCMCglmm(fixed=cbind(Apsy,Mygl,Crle,Crru,Miag,empty) ~ habitat:trait,random=~idh(trait):mesh,family="multinomial12", data=dataA,rcov=~trait:units) (where multiple responses are different species, Habitat

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, Consider the need for a regression model which can handle an ordered multinomial response variable. There are, for example, proportional odds / cumulative logit models, but actually the regression should include random effects (a mixed model), and I would not be aware of multinomial regression model as part of lme4 (am I wrong here ?). Further, the constraint of proportional odd models

Dear all, Does someone know an R function implementing the method of Sison and Glaz (1995) (see full ref below) for computing Simultaneous confidence intervals for multinomial proportions? As alternative method, I think to boostrap the mean of each proportion and get in that way confidence interval of the mean. I observed 21 times a response that could be one out of 8 categories

Hi, i'm an italian student that use for the first time the mailing list. I need an help to use a function for elaborate a multinomial logit analisys. I'm making a paper on the USA's commons and their way of organize their service. The various tipologies of service are 4: public, contracting in, contracting out and no-profit. I have 10 different service for each common, and for each

Dear All, I am looking at discriminating among several individuals based on a few variable sets (I think some variables do not make sense unless they are entered together, so I "force" them into the models together, hence datasets). I have done so with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) using "MASS::lda", with acceptable results. However, one of my collaborators

Hi Fellow R Users, I recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5 (Snow Leopard) and had some issues downloading and running R 2.10.1. I fixed the tcl/tk problem I was originally having but it was replaced with another. I run R out of the shell (terminal) and when I ask it to download.packages() it gives me the following message: *Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done* *Error in file.info(x) : argument

I present you with a function that solves a problem that has bugged me for many years. I think the problem may be general enough to at least consider adding this function, or a revamped version of it, to the 'stats' package, with the other multinomial functions reside. I'm using R to export data to text files, which are input data for an external model written in C++. Parts of the

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

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

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 __________________________________

I tried to use the effect() to get predicted marginals for multinomial logistic as I did for general logistic regression, but failed. Is there anyway to do that?

I have had plenty of succes generating one dimensional variables and plotting them, but what do i do for more (specifically 2) dimensional multinomial variables? I figure i have to create a vector consisting of two 1 dim normallly distributed variables, that way i can also control the correlation. But how do i do this :) ?

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

I have to the treatment effect base on the observational data.And the treatment variable is multinomial rather than binary.Because the treatment assignment is not random,so the selection-bias exists.Under this condition,what's the best way to estimate the treatment effect? I know that if the treatment is binary,I can use propensity score matching using MatchIt package.But what about

The author of the package provides plenty of examples (and two good vignettes) showing you how to do this. Suggest you do some work in that area. Look especially at how model formulas are

Hi everyone? Does anybody know how can I estimate a Latent class multinomial (or conditional) logit using R? I have tried flexmix, poLCA, and they do not seem to support this model. thanks in advance adan -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Latent-class-multinomial-or-conditional-logit-using-R-tp4230083p4230083.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at
