Thank you for your response. Each v can take a a value from 1 to 100.
Input data subset: v1.data
v1 v2 v3 v4 v5
1 1 59 1 51 52
2 1 59 1 7 83
3 1 59 1 46 11
4 1 99 1 84 11
5 1 59 1 31 4
6 1 99 1 81 3
7 1 27 1 58 68
8 61 59 78 73 75
9 66 71 80 39 68
10 1 99 1 23 34
v1.data$v1 <- as.factor(v1.data$v1)
mlogit.v1.data<-mlogit.data(
v1.data, varying=NULL, choice="v1", shape="wide")
v1.model<-mlogit(v1~1|v2+v3+v4+v5, data=mlogit.v1.data, reflevel="1")
