Hi all,

I estimated a Multinominal logit model with 7 choices.  I 
have 17 independent variables.  I specified mlogtest after I 
ran the mlogit command.  

I am not sure about my results.  Does anyone know how it is 
possible to get a negative Chi-square for the hausman test 
for IIA as I did in my results?  Also, how are the degrees 
of freedom calculated, it appears that I should have 17 and 
not what is reported. 

Furthermore, my results of the hausman test differ from the 
small-hsiao test, they contradict each other, I read online 
this is common, does anyone know how one determines which 
one is appropriate?

Here is my output.  Thanks in advance for any help. 

Marilyn.
