Subject | st: nlogit / asclogit replicate choice-alternatives per case |
Date | Thu, 2 Dec 2010 22:38:05 +0100 |
Dear listers,my choice desingn includes multiple consecutive choice decisions per respondent (8 choices á 4 alternatives) and in some cases an alternative occurs twice per case (in different choice decisions).
This seems to cause problems estimating asclogit and nlogit and the following error messages occur:
nlogit: "note: 2324 cases (74368 obs) dropped due to no positive outcome or multiple positive outcomes per case" asclogit: "variable alternative has replicate levels for one or more cases; this is not allowed"
(How) Is it possible to estimate asclogit and nlogit with multiple consecutive choices and replicate alternatives (in different choice decisions) per case? I have tried estimating both models with only one choice decision per case (4 alternatives each) which works fine.
Also, when estimating asclogit with effects-type coding the model does not converge due to collinearity (3 out of 26 parameters are dropped). asclogit: "note: model has collinear variables; convergence may not be achieved" What would be the best way to deal with collinarity in this case? The model does not converge when the parameters are kept.
Many thanks! Nils. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
