ST: st: Logistic regression & standardized coefficients; Multinomial GOF test

I see from the literature (eg Long and Freese' STATA regression book and as used by fitstat), one approach to logistic regression models is the latent variable model, where y*, the extent/propensity to which one
favours one option as opposed to the other, can be written as a linear combination of predictors plus an error term, the latter which has a standard logistic distribution with variance pi-squared/3. By definition
this is the result for a multinomial (logit) model with 2 classes. Is anyone aware of any references which allow this to be generalised to 3 or more classes, for example, so that y* can be calculated
at each of the different levels (relative to the baseline), as a linear combination plus an error term whose distribution is known and hence can be computed?
Many thanks (again)
Ron

Thanks for the excellent references (below). A follow-up question is whether there is such a thing as standardized coefficients in multinomial logistic regression models,
and if so if there are any parallel references.
Many thanks

See Long & Freese's book for a detailed explanation:
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/regmodcdvs.html
For a mini-explanation, including how to compute manually, see
http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam/xsoc73994/L03.pdf
For more advanced discussions, see the first 19 slides of
http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam/stats/Oglm.pdf
Also take a look at the -khb- command on SSC and the papers
associated with it. The relevant papers may still be forthcoming so
you may need to write the authors if you want them.
Finally, I don't have the full citation handy, but Scott Menard
offered an alternative approach to Y-standardization in a 2010 issue
of Social Forces.
