Re: [R] length of variable in mlogit

Hi Michael, many thanks for the useful hints which gave me some deeper knowledge of R. It is definitely much appreciated. I think I have found the mistake - the problems did not arise from variable definitions etc. It was an intellectual mistake. The cause for the problems was that I had to di

Hi Michael, many thanks for your time and the hint. This is much appreciated. Indeed, I managed it to get part of the dataset from which I want to develop my final logit model in the correct long format with true/false standing in the column for the choice variable,. But the problem with the v

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

Hi Michael, many thanks for your comment. Below the original data as imported from Stata format. I deleted some columns with explaining variables because they were unnecessary and working; the model has several explaining variables with generic regression coefficients. pid Choice V7.Ch 1

Lee, A working, or in this case failing, example is necessary to detect what the problem is. This would include a statement loading the package that you use to run your mlogit models; the latter is necessary because there are various packages with functions that are called mlgoit. Best, Ingmar On

Dear all, does anybody have experience with building logits in Mlogit? I want to test the use of a couple of alternative specific variables with a generic regression coefficient. However, one of them simply does not work. R says the length of this variable is different. Problem: If I check the l
