Three buttons, “OK,” “Cancel,” and “Submit,” appear at the bottom-right corner of the dialog box, with the OK button in the selected mode. An empty checkbox to “Keep collinear variables (rarely used)” appears immediately below it. The bottom section of the window titled “Options” shows an empty checkbox and an empty text bar to record “Base outcome.” It further shows an empty drop-down menu under the title “Constraints” with a “Manage” button alongside it. A checkbox with option to “Suppress constant term” appears just below the drop-down menu.

A drop-down menu under the title “Dependent variable” shows the item “active 1.” A drop-down menu under the title “Independent variables” shows the item “female under 30 age 65 plus arthritis.” A button with ellipsis sign further appears alongside the drop-down menu. The dialog box can be divided into two sections, with the top section showing dependent variables and independent variables. The dialog box is titled “mlogit – Multinomial (polytomous) logistic regression.” A set of six tabs appears immediately below the title bar as, “Model,” “by or if or in,” “Weights,” “SE or Robust,” “Reporting,” and “Maximization,” with “Model” in the selected mode. The parameters of GLMs are typically estimated using Maximum Likelihood Estimation. The link function typically involves some sort of nonlinear transformation, which in the case of multinomial logit means that the probabilities that a given observation in the dataset falls into each of the categories of the dependent variable are nonlinear functions of the independent variables. GLMs connect a linear combination of independent variables and estimated parameters-often called the linear predictor-to a dependent variable using a link function. Multinomial logit is one example from the family of Generalized Linear Models (GLMs). If the dependent variable only has two categories, the multinomial logit model reduces to simple logit. More than that, researchers often consider combining some categories or imposing some other restrictions. Thus, multinomial logit models are typically used when the dependent variable has three to five unordered categories. Multinomial logit models estimate every possible two-way comparison of categories on the dependent variable, which means the number of parameters to estimate increases rapidly as the number of categories for the dependent variable increases. Multinomial logit models explain variation in an unordered categorical dependent variable as a function of one or more independent variables.
