Dear Stephane,
Yes, I have run the MDCEV model before I try to use MDCNEV, base model, model with socio-demographics, model with socio-demographics and other personal traits, the estimations do not return any errors.
The results from the base model are as follows,
LL(start) : -42920.59
LL(0) : Not applicable
LL(C) : Not applicable
LL(final) : -28564.04
Rho-square (0) : Not applicable
Adj.Rho-square (0) : Not applicable
AIC : 57138.08
BIC : 57168.44
Estimated parameters : 5
Time taken (hh:mm:ss) : 00:00:1.56
pre-estimation : 00:00:0.16
estimation : 00:00:1.14
post-estimation : 00:00:0.25
Iterations : 56
Min abs eigenvalue of Hessian : 2e-06
Unconstrained optimisation.
Estimates:

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.

Re: Error in apollo_estimate when using MDCNEV
Hi
and what was the LL for the nested one?

okay, so the nested model defintely has a better fit but produces a solution that is outside the accepted range for the nesting parameter. I had another look at your data, and the reason is actually quite obvious. Your two alternatives that are nested together are never chosen together, i.e. they seem to be mutually exclusive. That's not in line with the model

Dear Stephane,
Thank you for the reply. Indeed this is the mistake I made when sending out the survey by only allowing the participants to choose one of the funds......
But now problem solved......
Thank you again for your time!
