Important: Read this before posting to this forum

  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. Before asking a question on the forum, users are kindly requested to follow these steps:
    1. Check that the same issue has not already been addressed in the forum - there is a search tool.
    2. 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
    3. Check the frequently asked questions section on the Apollo website, which discusses some common issues/failures. Please see http://www.apollochoicemodelling.com/faq.html
    4. Make sure that R is using the latest official release of Apollo.
  4. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, then users should follow these steps when posting a question:
    1. provide full details on the issue, including the entire code and output, including any error messages
    2. posts will not immediately appear on the forum, but will be checked by a moderator first. We check the forum at least twice a week. It may thus take a couple of days for your post to appear and before we reply. There is no need to submit the post multiple times.

MDCNEV model with RP-SP data

Ask questions about model specifications. Ideally include a mathematical explanation of your proposed model.

MDCNEV model with RP-SP data

Post by eeshanbhaduri01 »

Hi,

Is it possible in apollo to jointly estimate RP-SP data for MDCNEV model? I have successfully used apollo example_22 to do it for a nested logit model with discrete choice but not able to do it for MDCNEV.
The error message: Error in apollo_mdcnev(mdcnev_settings, functionality = "estimate") : object 'j' not found

Thanks in advance.

Hi

there is no a priori why it wouldn't be. But to help us understand why you get the error, you really need to give us more information, including showing the relevant parts of the code

Thanks

Stephane

Hi Stephane,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I was able to solve the issue simply by upgrading apollo version as suggested by one of my colleagues.

Best,
Eeshan
