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. This may take a day or two at busy times. There is no need to submit the post multiple times.

Re: Conditionals from WTP space mixed logit perfectly correlated across individuals

Thanks for spotting this! I reran the models after correcting this mistake, all seems to be fine!
Best,

Re: Conditionals from WTP space mixed logit perfectly correlated across individuals

Hi! I am not sure that I sent my response last Thursday. Just in case I haven't, here's the correlation matrix of the mixed logit model: Classical correlation matrix: asc_2 asc_3 mu_b_drought mu_b_flood asc_2 1.000000 0.126005 0.005341 -7.292e-05 asc_3 0.126005 1.000000 -0.164257 -0.253828 mu_b_drou...

Conditionals from WTP space mixed logit perfectly correlated across individuals

Hi, I estimated a mixed logit in WTP space for four normally distributed ES attributes and a lognormally distributed price attribute. Here's the output of the model: Estimation method : bfgs Model diagnosis : successful convergence Number of individuals : 1481 Number of rows in database : 13329 Numb...
