mlogit-deprecated: Some deprecated functions, especially 'mlogit.data', 'index'...

In mlogit: Multinomial Logit Models

Description

mlogit.data is deprecated, use dfidx::dfidx() instead, mFormula is replaced by Formula::Formula() and zoo::index() by idx.

Usage

mlogit.data(
  data,
  choice = NULL,
  shape = c("long", "wide"),
  varying = NULL,
  sep = ".",
  alt.var = NULL,
  chid.var = NULL,
  alt.levels = NULL,
  id.var = NULL,
  group.var = NULL,
  opposite = NULL,
  drop.index = FALSE,
  ranked = FALSE,
  subset = NULL,
  ...
)

mFormula(object)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
mFormula(object)

## Default S3 method:
mFormula(object)

## S3 method for class 'mFormula'
model.matrix(object, data, ...)

is.mFormula(object)

## S3 method for class 'dfidx'
index(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mlogit'
index(x, ...)

Arguments

data	a data.frame,
choice	the variable indicating the choice made: it can be either a logical vector, a numerical vector with 0 where the alternative is not chosen, a factor with level 'yes' when the alternative is chosen
shape	the shape of the data.frame: whether long if each row is an alternative or wide if each row is an observation,
varying	the indexes of the variables that are alternative specific,
sep	the seperator of the variable name and the alternative name (only relevant for a wide data.frame),
alt.var	the name of the variable that contains the alternative index (for a long data.frame only) or the name under which the alternative index will be stored (the default name is alt),
chid.var	the name of the variable that contains the choice index or the name under which the choice index will be stored,
alt.levels	the name of the alternatives: if null, for a wide data.frame, they are guessed from the variable names and the choice variable (both should be the same), for a long data.frame, they are guessed from the alt.var argument,
id.var	the name of the variable that contains the individual index if any,
group.var	the name of the variable that contains the group index if any,
opposite	returns the opposite of the specified variables,
drop.index	should the index variables be dropped from the data.frame,
ranked	a logical value which is true if the response is a rank,
subset	a logical expression which defines the subset of observations to be selected,
...	further arguments passed to reshape.
x, object	a formula, a dfidx or a mlogit object,
drop	a boolean, equal to FALSE if one wants that a data.frame is always returned,

Value

mlogit.data now returns a dfidx object, mFormula simply calls Formula::Formula() and returns a Formula object.
