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.

Is the rho square of ordered logit is not applicable?

Ask questions about the results reported after estimation. If the output includes errors, please include your model code if possible.

Is the rho square of ordered logit is not applicable?

Post by Hyewon »

Dear Stephane,

I use ol_setting to use the ordered logit model.
However, in the result,.

==================================

Estimation method : bfgs
Model diagnosis : successful convergence
Number of individuals : 988
Number of rows in database : 8892
Number of modelled outcomes : 8892

Number of cores used : 1
Model without mixing

LL(start) : -14154.99
LL(0) : Not applicable
LL(final) : -13279.66
Rho-square (0) : Not applicable
Adj.Rho-square (0) : Not applicable
AIC : 26599.32
BIC : 26741.18
================

It shows like this, Rho-square and LL(0) are Not applicable.
Is this the right function?
How can I get the rho-square, or find the estimation result shows good fitting?

Hi

we have so far not included rho square for ordered logit, as the rho2 in Apollo is against a model with all parameters fixed to 0, which of course would fail with OL. In the next release, we are replacing this by rho2 against a model with equal shares for all alternatives, which will make it appropriate for OL too. It will also include rho2 against a model that replicates the aggregates share in the data.
