Hi
is it possible to input a specific initial function value for MNL model? and if so, how can I do that?

Hi
the initial function value is the initial log-likelihood. It is the log-likelihood at the starting parameter values. You can change the starting values for the parameters, but the question of setting a specific initial log-likelihood doesn't really make sense - the log-likelihood is the objective function of the estimation process that you're trying to maximise
