  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.

Convert mlogit data format into apollo data format

Post by LucaN »

Dear authors,

I would like to convert data from mlogit data format (generated vith the function dfidx: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages ... dfidx.html) in apollo data format. How can I easily and quickly do that?

I found this function https://search.r-project.org/CRAN/refma ... pollo.html but 1) it seems rather cumbersome; 2) it does not seem to be available in the package support.BWS.

Thank you,
L

Hi

apologies for the slow reply. The function apollo_longToWide is already available in a pre-release version from apollo 0.2.8 onwards. that might do the trick for you

Try

Code: Select all

?apollo_longToWide

Write a custom R function that takes a dataset in mlogit format as input and transforms it into the desired apollo format. This function should handle the conversion of variables, structures, and any other necessary adjustments.
