[bit.listserv.sas-l] MLOGIT and MPROBIT

KEINTZ@PENNDRLS.BITNET (Mark Keintz) (02/07/90)

MLOGIT and MPROBIT are sold by Salford Systems, (California),
whose address I have forgotten.  But I haven't forgotten that
you have to bring them lots of money.

Anyone know whether MLOGIT and MPROBIT will work under SAS 6.06 ?

These questions need to be formulated better. The third party vendor
products mentioned naturally won't work unchanged, since SAS is being
internally changed. The question is whether the vendors will update their
products, or whether SAS will provide an interface so that procedures
written in other languages using old conventions  will work. There is
also a third possibility, which is the appropriate answer in the case
of Mlogit and Mprobit, namely that SAS may provide new Procs that
perform these analyses. Indeed, there is already a new Probit procedure
in PC/SAS v. 6.03, and SAS staff at a recent meeting I attended assured
us that a new procedure for logits will be available soon under version 6.
I believe it will do multinomial logits. Meantime (and it is has been an
AGGRAVATINGLY LONG TIME waiting for mainframe v. 6) I use LIMDEP for
such analyses.
