Dear Stephane,
I´ve tried to write a code for a latent class model with covariates.
When defining the utility I used the following coding:
V[["class_a"]] = delta_a + gamma_EinstFin_7_a*EinstFin_7 + gamma_FinLue_Angehoerigeetc_a*FinLue
V[["class_b"]] = delta_b + gamma_EinstFin_7_b*EinstFin_7 + gamma_FinLue_Angehoerigeetc_b*FinLue
EinstFin_7 is a metric variable
FinLue is a variable that is separated into two categories, one of this categories is FinLue_Angehoerigeetc (see transformations of this variable below:
Data_Covariates$FinLue_kat <- NA
Data_Covariates$FinLue_kat[Data_Covariates$FinLue %in% c(1)] <- "HzP"
Data_Covariates$FinLue_kat[Data_Covariates$FinLue %in% c(2,3)] <- "Angehoerigeetc"
Data_Covariates$FinLue_Angehoerigeetc <- ifelse(Data_Covariates$FinLue_kat=="Angehoerigeetc",1,0)
I am unsure if it is the right approach to multiply gamma_FinLue_Angehoerigeetc_a with FinLue (so with the whole variable) or if gamma_FinLue_Angehoerigeetc_a needs to be multiplied with FinLue_Angehoerigeetc
In my ML with covariates I did specify the coefficient like this:
b_HoeheEEE = b_HoeheEEE_ALLE + b_HoeheEEE_ FinLue_Angehoerigeetc * FinLue_Angehoerigeetc
That´s why I am a bit confused.
Any advice for clarification is highly appreciated.
Thanks and best,
Julia
Important: Read this before posting to this forum
- 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.
- 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
- Before asking a question on the forum, users are kindly requested to follow these steps:
- Check that the same issue has not already been addressed in the forum - there is a search tool.
- 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
- Check the frequently asked questions section on the Apollo website, which discusses some common issues/failures. Please see http://www.apollochoicemodelling.com/faq.html
- Make sure that R is using the latest official release of Apollo.
- Users can check which version they are running by entering packageVersion("apollo").
- Then check what is the latest full release (not development version) at http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/code.html.
- To update to the latest official version, just enter install.packages("apollo"). To update to a development version, download the appropriate binary file from http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/code.html, and install the package from file
- If the above steps do not resolve the issue, then users should follow these steps when posting a question:
- provide full details on the issue, including the entire code and output, including any error messages
- 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.

I think you need to use FinLue_Angehoerigeetc
