Hello everyone,

1. Explaination for equation - This is with reference to equation 9.4 in page 115 in Apollo Manual.
Can someone please provide the reference of paper/book for details or explain the equation, to be more specific - how is likelihood different from probability for cross-sectional data. I have been trying to read the source code but getting lost everything.

The second is a follow up, while exploring the code, I could not understand the difference between different types of functionality -

2. Descrption for different types of functionality can be seen here - https://rdrr.io/cran/apollo/man/apollo_mnl.html
The manual/webpage every briefly describes different types of functionalities. Can someone please explain the difference between "prediction" and "output" in details.

Thanks

Hi

on the first point, please look at Hess, S. (2014), Latent class structures: taste heterogeneity and beyond, in Hess, S. & Daly, A.J. (Eds.), Handbook of Choice Modelling, chapter 14, pp. 311-330, Edward Elgar publishers, Cheltenham. (http://www.stephanehess.me.uk/papers/bo ... s_2014.pdf)

on the second point, functionality is controlled by the code depending on what function is called, there is no need for the user to change this

Thanks!
