Multinomial regression

Description

Multinomial regression.

Usage

multinom.reg(y, x, tol = 1e-07, maxiters = 50)

Arguments

x	A matrix or a data.frame with the predictor variables.
tol	This tolerance value to terminate the Newton-Raphson algorithm.
maxiters	The maximum number of iterations Newton-Raphson will perform.

Value
