[Limdep Nlogit List] why different values of pseudo R2 in NLOGIT

[William Greene]

Charles.  The value reported with the output is based on the constants only
logL.  The value stored as a scalar (retrieved with CALC) uses the logL at
the starting values.  If you fit something other than a simple MNL, the
starting
values are usually the MNL results.
