Dear Stata users

I am testing for IIA after mlogit using the mlogtest command (Some output
below).

Is there any other testing technique/command available?

Also, base on the Hausman test my interpretation is that IIA is OK with my
empirical model, but based on the Small-Hsiao test my interpretation is the
opposite.  Am I interpreting the results in the right way?  Is it common to
get opposite results with these two tests?

Thanks in advanced for any help

 Note: If chi2<0, the estimated model does not
 meet asymptotic assumptions of the test.

 Ho: Odds(Outcome-J vs Outcome-K) are independent of other alternatives.
