Hi Lee, I've finally had time to look at this:
If you look at ?mlogit.data you'll see that choice must be "the variable indicating the choice made: it can be either a logical vector, a numerical vector with 0 where the alternative is not chosen, a factor with level 'yes' when the alternative is chosen." For the data and script you provided me, we have a few problems: firstly, masterdata.wide should be a data.frame, not a matrix -- this can be rectified by wrapping it in as.data.frame. Once you do that, take a look at the column "Y" which you supply for the choice variable. It is a numerical vector, but it has no 0's so it doesn't fit the requested input format. For anyone else who wants to look at this: dput(masterdata.wide) structure(c(1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 5, 4, 1, 4, 3, 1, 2, 4, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), .Dim = c(13L, 7L), .Dimnames = list( NULL, c("Y", "X.2", "X.3", "X.4", "X.5", "X.6", "X.7")), na.action = structure(c(1, 3, 7, 8, 12, 14, 17), class = "omit")) Hope that helps, Michael On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 2:31 AM, Lee van Cleef <l.van.cl...@gmx.net> wrote: > Hi Michael, > > I have sent youi the data. > > Best, > Lee > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/length-of-variable-in-mlogit-tp4638323p4639873.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
