Hi, I recently found the MNP package. Out of curiosity, I tried to reproduce results from Greene (Econometric Analysis, fourth edition) on page 874. The signs of the estimates are all opposite those of Greene's table. Might anyone be able to tell me what I am doing wrong? I have attached the function call, the coefficients, and a few rows of the data. The dataset has 210 observations.

Hi everyone, I use the MNP package to fit my data. I can interpret the coefficients and covariance. I cannot put them into the original model which is Wi=Sum(bXij) over j, Yi(Wi)=0 if max(Wi)<0, j if max(Wi)=Wij>0 j=3 here, 3 choice alternatives, Clio, Punto, Polo I don't know how to put the coefficients and covariances into W, to construct W for each j. The coefficients and

Hello, I need a little initial help with the MNP package. I am trying to analyze a discrete choice experiment with the following settings: - choice sets consist of 3 alternatives - choice alternatives are constructed by e.g. two attributes, say brand and price. - brand has three levels and price has four levels - every respondent has to answer 4 different choice sets (drawn randomly or

Hi everyone, I import data from access, and make an object (c) store the data, when I want to use it in function mnp, it gives the below error: Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent > x<-odbcConnectAccess("db2.mdb") > c<-sqlFetch(x,"Sheet2") > odbcClose(x) > c choice clio punto polo 1

Hi all, For my research I have to use a Multinomial Probit model. I saw that there are two packages, that include a method to estimate my parameters. The first one is the MNP-package of Imai and van Dyk. The second one is part of the bayesm-package of Rossi. The results for both packages are not the same using the same data. Does anybody know what the difference is between these two approaches?

Dear all, I'm a new user of R and MNP. Would anybody advise me what I have done wrong to the input or data. When I add the R7, it said that there is an error "SWP:singular matrix". I can add up to R6 only. Copy of the R console is attached for your reference. Thanks. Andy -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: mywork.pdf Type:

We would like to announce the release of our software, which is now available through CRAN. MNP: R Package for Fitting the Multinomial Probit Models Abstract: MNP is a publicly available R package that fits the Bayesian multinomial probit models via Markov chain Monte Carlo. Along with the standard multinomial probit model, it can also fit models with different choice sets for each observation,

Hi All, Can the MNP package available in R be used to analyze panel data as well? *i.e., *if there are 3 observed discrete choices for three time periods for the same individual , can i estimate a panel multinomial probit model which allows correlated errors across time periods and individual heterogeneity (random coefficients) using the MNP package? In the case that it doesn't work, is

Hi, I'm writing an R package using the C code i've written. I'm wondering if anyone knows an easy way to calculate an inverse and cholesky factor of a matrix using the Fortran/C library of R: and how to call them from C. My code is based on the Numerical Reciepe code, and I'm trying to use something that is already in R. Thanks for your help in advance, Kosuke

I am in search of open-source software to track billable time for myself. A quick Google search did not find anything that is open-source but I am hoping that this group might know of such software? The platform is C7.

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, What Lapack routine(s) should I use to calculate the determinant of a symmetric matrix of real numbers? I would appreciate any guidance on this issue.

Hi, I've recently purchased PowerBookG4 (panther) and installed RAqua 1.8.1. I also installed gcc version 3.3 through Xcode tools. But, for some reason, I'm having a hard time getting gcc work with R. For example, I get the following error while installing Hmisc package. I would appreciate any suggestion to fix this problem. Thanks Kosuke * Installing *source* package
