Dear Stephane,
Thank you very much for your help, the model now runs without errors. However, it does not achieve estimation.
I tried to follow the suggestions from the FAQs and other blog posts, but have not found a solution. The MNL, MMNL and LC-MNL (with different numbers of classes) all run ...

- 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.
- 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
- Before asking a question on the forum, users are kindly requested to follow these steps:
- Check that the same issue has not already been addressed in the forum - there is a search tool.
- 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
- Check the frequently asked questions section on the Apollo website, which discusses some common issues/failures. Please see http://www.apollochoicemodelling.com/faq.html
- Make sure that R is using the latest official release of Apollo.
- Users can check which version they are running by entering packageVersion("apollo").
- Then check what is the latest full release (not development version) at http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/code.html.
- To update to the latest official version, just enter install.packages("apollo"). To update to a development version, download the appropriate binary file from http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/code.html, and install the package from file
- If the above steps do not resolve the issue, then users should follow these steps when posting a question:
- provide full details on the issue, including the entire code and output, including any error messages
- 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: Error in LC MMNL
Dear Stephane,
As I cannot share the data, I tried to simulate it, including non-attendance affecting two attributes. (Please note: in the final model, all attribute levels will be dummy-coded.)

Re: Error in LC MMNL
Dear Stephane,
Thank you very much for your timely response.
I updated the code accordingly, but encountered the same error message. Overall, I am doubting if this model specification is equivalent to your LC-MMNL in your 2012 paper - inferring attribute non-attendance with the latent classes ...

Error in LC MMNL
Dear Stephane and Apollo team,
I am trying to construct a Latent Class Mixed Multinomial Model following your 2012 paper for data that stems from a DCE. The experiment has two unlabeled alternatives and 6 attributes. However, I have been running into an error and cannot figure out how to solve it ...
