Thank you Austin, for your reply. However I'm not sure clogit or
asclogit is appropriate here, because each auction has different set
of bidders, so the alternatives are changing. I checked out clogit and
asclogit, and it seems that you need a pre-specified set of
alternatives, such as presidential candidates, or travel modes.
For instance, (this is a reverse auction, only one winning seller in
each auction)
Auctionid, buyerid, sellerIsChosen(Y),sellerid, sellercharacteristics
1,1,1,1,...,
1,1,0,2,...,
1,1,0,3,...,
1,1,0,4,...,
2,1,1,5,...,
2,1,0,6,...,
2,1,0,3,...,
3,2,1,4,...,
3,2,0,2,...;
3,2,0,6,...,
3,2,0,9,....,
3,2,0,12,...,
3,2,0,20,...,
Sorry I wasn't clearer in my initial post and thank you for any
suggestions you can provide.
Thank you!
