چکیده

We show how multinomial logistic models with correlated responses can be estimated within SAS software. To achieve this, random effects and marginal models are introduced and the respective SAS code is given. An example data set on physicians' recommendations and preferences in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation is used for illustration. The main motivation for this work are two recent papers that recommend estimating multinomial logistic models with correlated responses by using a Poisson likelihood which is statistically correct but computationally inefficient.

A warning concerning the estimation of multinomial logistic models with correlated responses in SAS

Kuss and McLerran in a paper in this journal provide SAS code for the estimation of multinomial logistic models for correlated data. Their motivation derived from two papers that recommended to estimate such models using a Poisson likelihood, which is according to Kuss and McLerran "statistically correct but computationally inefficient". Kuss and McLerran propose several estimating methods. Som...

A Note on the Estimation of the Multinomial Logit Model

The multinomial logit model with random eeects is often used in modeling correlated nominal polytomous data. Given that there is no standard software of tting it, we advocate using either a Poisson log-linear model or a Poisson nonlinear model, both with random eeects. Their implementations can be carried out easily by many existing commercial statistical packages including SAS. A brand choice ...

Fitting Bayesian hierarchical multinomial logit models in PROC MCMC

The paper illustrates how to use the MCMC procedure to fit a hierarchical, multinomial logit model for a nominal response variable with correlated responses in a Bayesian framework. In particular, the paper illustrates how to perform three important parts of Bayesian model fitting. First, to make sure appropriate prior distributions are selected, the paper shows how to simulate draws directly f...

Modelling Physicians’ Recommendations for Optimal Medical Care by Random Effects Stereotype Regression

We show how Anderson’s Stereotype regression model can be extended to account for correlated responses by a simple nonlinear parameter restriction on the multinomial logistic model with random effects. We comment on parameter estimation and use a data set on physicians’ recommendations and preferences in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation for illustration. Copyright c © 2004 John Wiley & Son...
