I've tried using this command with the same results. In this case, choice = 1 or 0 dependent upon whether the choice was made. Weight is the frequency weight. The rest is the same as before.
I agree that I can't be fitting the same model, but I'm not sure how I'm not...

Shane. I'm familiar with both.
You cannot be fitting the same model. I suspect you should have
a dependent variable that is 0 for the nonchosen choices and 1 for the
choice, and add ;WTS=weight to the nlogit command. Even with weights,
a clogit model will converge in a handful of iterations. Your setup
can't be right.

Subject: [Limdep Nlogit List] Another NLOGIT/LOGIT Question
Hi,
I was hoping that someone who is familiar with both LIMDEP/NLOGIT and STATA might be able to help me out on this:
When I run the following model in STATA, it converges in 4 iterations:
clogit choice fare itdist circuity gates concs runways direct seat [fweight=weight] , group(obs)
weight measures how many people made the exact same choice facing the exact same choice set. Group(obs) is just an identifier to indicate which lines of data go together to make an observation.
However, using the EXACT SAME DATASET, when I run the following in NLOGIT, it fails to solve, even with 1500 iterations:
CLOGIT
;Lhs=weight,nij
;Rhs=fare, itdist, circuity, gates, concs, runways, direct, seats
;maxit=1500
$
In this case, weight is the frequency variable, nij tells how many lines of data belong to an observation - from what I can tell, a similar thing to the group(obs) in STATA.
Any ideas? I'm totally stumped on this. Thanks,
Shane
