Overview

About

Maintained by Mauricio SarriasCRAN page ↗Website ↗

An implementation of maximum simulated likelihood method for the estimation of multinomial logit models with random coefficients as presented by Sarrias and Daziano (2017) doi:10.18637/jss.v079.i02. Specifically, it allows estimating models with continuous heterogeneity such as the mixed multinomial logit and the generalized multinomial logit. It also allows estimating models with discrete heterogeneity such as the latent class and the mixed-mixed multinomial logit model.

Changes in 1.1-4

NEW FEATURES

Fixed compatibility with mlogit >= 2.0-0 and dfidx-based mlogit.data objects. This restores latent-class model estimation with recent versions of mlogit, including examples using the Fishing and Electricity data sets.
Fixed mixed-mixed logit models when some coefficients are fixed and others are random. Previously, model = "mm" could fail when ranp did not include all variables in the utility specification.
For mixed-mixed logit models, Qir now stores both prior class probabilities (wnq) and posterior class probabilities (qir).

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("gmnl", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-gmnl

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-gmnl

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-gmnl

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
