similar to: Is there a multinomial exact goodness of fit test in R?

R Help on 'chisq.test' states that "if 'simulate.p.value' is 'TRUE', the p-value is computed by Monte Carlo simulation with 'B' replicates. In the contingency table case this is done by random sampling from the set of all contingency tables with given marginals, and works only if the marginals are positive... In the

Dear all, I would like to do a goodness-of-fit test on my data to see if they follow a mixture of 2 poisson distributions. I have small numbers for observed values. Most of them <5. The chisq.test gives warning message: Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect in: chisq.test(x , p = prob). However, the option sim=TURE would suppress the warning message. Does that mean with the option

Is it possible to use function "glm" in case when my outcome variable has 5 different classes? I have seen examples only when using binomial outcome variable. What about using function "multinom"? How do I to get the signifigance and the confidence levels of the coefficients and the value of goodness of the model with this function? Thank You for Your help! -- View this

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,

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]]

Hi, I want to perform goodness of fit test for multinominal distribution. The easiest way would be to use Chi2, but the measurment errors are not normally distributed. I thought about using some bootstraping method to perform the analysis. How can I do it in R?

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

Hi - I am confronting a situation where I have a set of structural equation and one or two of my responses are multinomial. I understand that sem would not deal with the unordered response. So I am thinking of the following two ways: 1. Expanding my response to a new set of binary variables corresponding to each label of my multinomial response. Then use each of these as a separate response in my

Hello, I have a question concerning the R-function chisq.test. For example, I have some count data which can be categorized as follows class1: 15 observations class2: 0 observations class3: 3 observations class4: 4 observations I would like to test the hypothesis whether the population probabilities are all equal (=> Test for discrete uniform distribution) If you have a small sample size

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

Hi, I would like to apply the L-BFGS optimization algorithm to compute the MLE of a multilevel multinomial Logistic Regression. The likelihood formula for this model has as one of the summands the formula for computing the likelihood of an ordinary (single-level) multinomial logit regression. So I would basically need the R implementation for this formula. The L-BFGS algorithm also requires

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, 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 :) ?

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

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

Dear all, I studied in tank prey fish behavior. Using the design described below (and R code), I want to test the effects of both habitat and predator (and interaction) on prey fish's vertical distribution, which was recorded (with repeated measures) as a categorical variable. I found that package mlogit might fit to my need but I don't know how to specify my complex design in the
