You can regress multiple dependent variables at once by placing them in a matrix. For example, this regresses each of the first 4 columns of the builtin iris dataset against Species, the last column: iris4 - as.matrix(iris[,-5]) summary(lm(iris4 ~ Species, iris)) On 2/2/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Roger, Yes, multinomRob can handle equality constraints of this type---see the 'equality' option. But the function assumes that the outcomes are multinomial counts and it estimates overdispersed multinomial logistic models via MLE, a robust redescending-M estimator, and LQD which is another

Hi Roger, Walter's command is correct. To match the exact normalization used by nnet's multinom(), however, you would need to make the coefficients zero for the first class (i.e., y1) and not the last (i.e., y3). mr - multinomRob(list(y2 ~ x1 + x2, y3 ~ x1 + x2, y1~0),data=d, print.level=1)
