[Limdep Nlogit List] Nlogit ;pds

[William Greene]

Mahsa.  For commands that have verb NLOGIT, the ;PDS is the number of choice
tasks.  One of my data sets has 12,800 rows of data.  There are 400
individuals in
the sample.  Each individual faces 8 choice tasks.  Each choice task
involves 4
alternatives.  So, the number of choice tasks in the data set is 12,800/4 =
3,200.
For purposes of "panel data," the PDS for NLOGIT commands would be ;Pds=8.
Note that ;PDS for other commands such as PROBIT would be Pds=32, but of
course,
this is wrong for multinomial choice data.
