[Limdep Nlogit List] Error running sample data

[Richard Hofler]

Upananda,

I see that the values were NOT reproduced below in the format in which I sent them. They were in 32 rows with 5 values in each row. Each variable's values were in a column, as in an Excel spreadsheet.

Upananda,

You might have a spacing problem with your data values. The commands below work with data that have been reformatted within Excel.
