Important: Read this before posting to this forum

  1. This forum is for questions related to the use of Apollo. We will answer some general choice modelling questions too, where appropriate, and time permitting. We cannot answer questions about how to estimate choice models with other software packages.
  2. There is a very detailed manual for Apollo available at http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/manual.html. This contains detailed descriptions of the various Apollo functions, and numerous examples are available at http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/examples.html. In addition, help files are available for all functions, using e.g. ?apollo_mnl
  3. Before asking a question on the forum, users are kindly requested to follow these steps:
    1. Check that the same issue has not already been addressed in the forum - there is a search tool.
    2. Ensure that the correct syntax has been used. For any function, detailed instructions are available directly in Apollo, e.g. by using ?apollo_mnl for apollo_mnl
    3. Check the frequently asked questions section on the Apollo website, which discusses some common issues/failures. Please see http://www.apollochoicemodelling.com/faq.html
    4. Make sure that R is using the latest official release of Apollo.
  4. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, then users should follow these steps when posting a question:
    1. provide full details on the issue, including the entire code and output, including any error messages
    2. posts will not immediately appear on the forum, but will be checked by a moderator first. We check the forum at least twice a week. It may thus take a couple of days for your post to appear and before we reply. There is no need to submit the post multiple times.

Re: Calculating WTP for attribute bundles mixed logit

This is helpful! Thanks, Stephane!

Would it be appropriate instead to bootstrap the mixed logit estimates and calculate the WTP for each bundle and boostrap iteration to calculate SEs for the means and sds?

Calculating WTP for attribute bundles mixed logit

Hi All,

I estimated a mixed logit in WTP space with uncorrelated random parameters. Survey respondents could choose a program alternative or a status quo alternative. The program option has four attributes including a cost attribute. I specify normal distributions for the non-cost attributes and a ...

Weighting in Apollo

Hi Stephane and David,

Can you provide more information on how weights are applied during estimation when using the apollo_weighting function? I understand how to tell Apollo to use weights, but it is unclear how those weights are used once provided.

Best,
Kaylee

p.s. Thank you for creating this ...
