Re: Analysis Result Becomes Undefined

Thank you for your response. I learned a lot.

I have an additional question.
The following literature has been published.

Re: Analysis Result Becomes Undefined

It's disappointing that the model cannot be estimated with the current experimental design.

Is there a way to conduct a DCE with this experimental design?

I would like to explore using a D-optimal design as much as possible.

Also, on the Ngene HP (https://www.choice-metrics.com/features), does ...

Re: Analysis Result Becomes Undefined

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The reject conditions I mentioned earlier were different from the experimental design.

I've corrected them to match the experimental design, but the result is still "Undefined".

I would be grateful for your assistance.

Thank you.

Analysis Result Becomes Undefined

When I run the program below, the MNL D-Error becomes "Undefined".

Could the reason be that there are impossible combinations between E and F within the reject conditions?

If that's the case, would it be necessary to revise the experimental design?

If this can be resolved by modifying the program ...

Re: Choice set consisting of 3 health states

To deepen my understanding, I would like to ask a question.
I am planning experiments with two health states (state A, state B) (= part A) and three health states (state A, state B, death) (= part B).
For part B, I want to design it so that state A and state B are the same as in part A, but with ...

Re: Choice set consisting of 3 health states

To deepen my understanding, I would like to ask a question.
When planning an experiment with three health states (state A, state B, and “immediate death”), the D-error and S estimate (sample size) become larger compared to when there are only two health states (state A, state B).
I thought that ...

Re: Output method for D-efficiency and C-efficiency

It’s been a while since I last asked, so I’d like to ask a question.
Is it still true that D-error values will generally be smaller than 1, and values larger than 1 are often suspicious?
For example, if there are three designs with D-error of less than 0.1, 0.5, and 0.9, which one is considered ...

Re: Choice set consisting of 3 health states

My understanding is getting better.
However, I don't quite understand "constraints".
Why can't I use the swapping algorithm with the following programs?
Design
;alts = alt1*, alt2*
;rows = 42
;eff = (mnl, d)
;alg = swap(stop=total(1000000 iterations))
;block = 3
;model:

Re: Choice set consisting of 3 health states

I learned a lot today. Thank you very much.
I found that there are two types of efficient designs: mfederov algorithm and swapping algorithm.
I've always kind of used the mfederov algorithm.
How do I select algorithm?
I want a reference information for the algorithm selection.

Re: Choice set consisting of 3 health states

Thank you for your reply.
I modified the program from your advice.
Let me know if something comes up.
I put life-year in b8, but is there anything I should be careful about?
