Overview

About

Maintained by Yves CroissantCRAN page ↗

Maximum likelihood estimation of random utility discrete choice models. The software is described in Croissant (2020) doi:10.18637/jss.v095.i11 and the underlying methods in Train (2009) doi:10.1017/CBO9780511805271.

Changes in 2.0-0

the msumarry tables are rendered in markdown
functions preds and slps are introduced to compute the predictions, the slopes and their standard deviations
micsr::gaze is now re-exported
a new param argument is introduced for mlogit; it should be a vector of coefficients and, if not null, the fitted probabilities are returned
dependence on R (>= 3.5.0)
there where small differences between the .Rout and .Rout.save files, the later have been updated
the first vignette is renamed 1. Introduction
the estimate argument of mlogit is now operational : if FALSE, the model frame is returned

Show all changes in 2.0-0Hide the rest of the changes in 2.0-0

scoretest.mlogit now unables to test models with different covariates sets
the formula element of mlogit objects is replaced by a term element FO FIX scoretest.default
the vcov method is now inherited from micsr
a value element is added to the result
the logLik element is now a named numeric (model, saturated and null)
the numerical hessian is now computed using numDeriv when the analytical hessian is not provided if hessian = TRUE
a df.residual element is added to the result, the df.residual method is removed
a bug in residuals.mlogit is fixed, probabilities is used instead of fitted
mlogit doesn't depends on dfidx anymore, dfidx, idx and idx_name are re-exported
in logsum, bug fix, the names of the indexes used to be alt and chid
in the vignette, dfidx now use tibbles instead of ordinary data frames
LazyData is now TRUE
the dependence on MASS and zoo is removed
the index function (methods for the zoo function), already deprecated is now suppressed
roxygen fixes (names.rpar and print.est.stat are now exported, "_PACKAGE" is added in the man page of the package
in hmftest, class(z) == "a" replaced by inherits(z, "a")
fixed web adress for JAE data archive, Train's website and Fox's book
enhanced vignettes, which now are quarto files
the description of the values of rpar is fixed in the mlogit man page thanks to Martin Eckhoff Andresen
bug fixed in mlogit (the to.omit variable could be NULL which caused a bug) thanks to Matt Woeran
update of the Rout.save files

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("mlogit", 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-mlogit

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-mlogit

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-mlogit

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.
