Hi everyone? Does anybody know how can I estimate a Latent class multinomial (or conditional) logit using R? I have tried flexmix, poLCA, and they do not seem to support this model. thanks in advance adan -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Latent-class-multinomial-or-conditional-logit-using-R-tp4230083p4230083.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Latent class multinomial (or conditional) logit using R?
3 messages · adanmartinez, Christian Hennig
You may have a look at lcmixed/flexmixedruns in package fpc. This provides flexmix methods that can be used to fit latent class models with locally independent multinomials (no logits, though, and I'm not sure that for categorical data only this is much different from what poLCA offers). Best regards, Christian

Hi Christian, Thanks a lot for the suggestion. As you expected, lcmixed does not provide more functionality than poLCA for the case of only categorical data... Do you know whether there is an explanation (some technical difficulty I may be missing, I am Economist so it is very likely) of why I can fit a Poisson, a logit latent class model but not a conditional logit? In fact, I started using R when I realize that my (very rudimentary) EM script written in Matlab had tons of problems to converge. Now I start wondering if there is some specific situation I should be aware of.
