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: Latent Class Model - Effect coded attributes

For instance, I have a "Bonus" attribute in effects coding from my Ngene design.
The reference level at 0 is "No bonus", when bonus equals 1 it is a "collective bonus", and when bonus is equal to 2 it is an "individual bonus".

In my MNL model, this is the constraint I use for that attribute: b ...

Latent Class Model - Effect coded attributes

Hello,

I am running a LCM based on the example LC_no_covariates. Two of my variables are in effect coding, I estimated a MNL and MMNL model I used the "Effects coding constraint" that is used in the MNL_SP_effects example and this worked fine. However, with the LC I have not managed to integrate ...
