Hi Nick,

I am already on version 11 of -mlogit-. 

. which mlogit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Stata11\ado\updates\m\mlogit.ado
*! version 11.0.8  11feb2011

Ian

As the estimated log odds ratio and marginal effects for some of the outcomes (e.g.) are insignificant in statistical and economic terms, I would like to do a Cramer Ridder test (see Cramer J.S. and Ridder G. (1991), "Pooling States in the Multinomial Logit Model", Journal of Econometrics, 47, 267-272).
