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: how to make probability plot in E MDCEV MODEL

Hi

you can make predictions from a model in Apollo. This will produce a prediction for each row in the data, and then you can of course use standard R functions to product plots

Re: Accounting for stochastic variables in discrete choice models

Julia

this should only be needed in situations where you have uncertainty about the attributes

Hi

if you share your code and data with me outside the forum, I'll have a look

Re: Heterogeneous alternative choice set

hi

the closest we have to this would be http://apollochoicemodelling.com/files/ ... e_coding.r where you could easily add availabilities too

Re: standard errors of average marginal effects

Marie

have a look at the help file for apollo_prediction. If you run it with the runs setting, it will produce an array for you with the runs at different draws from the asymptotic parameter distribution and you can then use those to calculate standard errors for your marginal effects

Re: error in getiing Standarad error of e mdcev model

Hi

your parameter dWorkScho is tending towards -inf (-104.659589), so that is causing the issue here. You'll have to investigate what is causing this

Re: "Paramter does not influence the log-likelihood of your model" after included LV

Hi you could have easily resolved this issue by looking at other posts and the manual. You have: V[["ALT1"]] = b_Waitingtimem * Waitingtimem1 + b_Waitingtimeh * Waitingtimeh1 + b_effm * effm1 + b_effh * effh1 + b_peer_support_Yes * peer_support_Yes1 + b_working_hours_extra * working_hours_...

Re: No covariance matrix

Hi

it is not clear what you mean by linear and non-linear here, unless you have made non-linear transforms in the data.

Can you show the results?

In terms of rm(list = ls()), this clears the memory, which you should do before every model estimation

Hi

can you please show us your code - otherwise, it's near impossible to help
