RespondMNL: Response generation

Description

Function to generate responses given parameter values and a design matrix, assuming a MNL model.

Usage

RespondMNL(par, des, n.alts, bin = TRUE)

Arguments

par

Numeric vector containing parameter values.

des

A design matrix in which each row is a profile. Can be generated with Modfed

n.alts

Numeric value indicating the number of alternatives per choice set.

bin

Indicates whether the returned value should be a binary vector or a discrete value which denotes the chosen alternative.

Value

Numeric vector indicating the chosen alternatives.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# 3 Attributes, 2 are dummy coded and 1 continuous.
cs <- Profiles(lvls = c(2, 3, 2), coding = c("D", "C", "D"), c.lvls = list(c(2,4,6)))
p <- c(0.8, 0.2, -0.3) # parameter vector
# Generate design
des <- Modfed(cand.set = cs, n.sets = 8, n.alts = 2, alt.cte = c(0,0), par.draws = p)$des
# Generate responses
y <- RespondMNL(par = p, des = des, n.alts = 2)
# }
