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.
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
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 am trying to estimate a Hybrid LC model with OL, where the LV is specified in the LC component. The following error is shown:
Error in pi * p : non-conformable arrays when I try adding covariates in the class membership component (CM) along with the class-specific constants (delta) while having LV specified in the latent class component (LC).
I am using apollo 0.3.1.
There are a couple of things that I would like to mention:
The model converges without any error when
i. LV, along with other covariates (including class-specific constants (delta) and other parameters), are considered in utilities of the class membership component (CM), while no LV but covariates (including ASC and other parameters) are included in the utility specified for the Latent Class component (LC).
. See attached: HLC with LV in CM only.r
ii.LV, along with other covariates (including ASC and other parameters), are considered in utilities of the Latent Class component, while no LV but only class-specific constants (delta) are included in the utility specified for the the class membership model. See attached: HLC with LV in LC only.r
regarding 1(ii); however, when I try to add covariates in the class membership model, the abovementioned error occurs. See attached: error_HLC with LV in LC only.r
I found a similar error when I tried to add a covariate (g_reg_user) in the CMs (line 110) in the example code, Hybrid_LC_with_OL]. See attached: error_ex_Hybrid_LC_with_OL.r
apologies for the slow reply. We believe we have fixed this issue in the latest development version - can you try it by downloading from http://apollochoicemodelling.com/code.html
