Important: Read this before posting to this forum
- 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. This may take a day or two at busy times. There is no need to submit the post multiple times.

Re: Error: Duplicated componentName found with MXL
Here is the code for your perusal: library(apollo) apollo_initialise() apollo_control = list( modelName = "Apollo_Jaeren_MXL" , modelDescr = "MNL model of repeated data" , indivID = "RespID", mixing=TRUE , nCores = 3 #, # calculateLLC=FALSE ) apollo_beta=c(beta.TC = -4....

Re: Error: Duplicated componentName found with MXL
Hi Stephane, Great to hear that. I just found it odd and wanted to inform you. I am indeed using version Apollo 0.2.8. Here's some of the output for your perusal. Validation of the inputs works well: > apollo_inputs = apollo_validateInputs() apollo_draws and apollo_randCoeff were found, so apollo_co...

Error: Duplicated componentName found with MXL
Hi David and Stephane, I am writing here after finding an error that appears and disappears under very peculiar circumstances. I am running a mixed logit model with two random parameters (the rest is fixed). It combines two datasets and accounts for scale differences. I built the code back in 2019 g...
