RE: st: calculate probability for clogit

[Patty_FARE_Guelph Apichaya <pattria_ft@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

  I try to use -asclogit- but it has to have more than 2 alternatives in 1 choice set, so I cannot use this command in my analysis.
 For the choice design, I use SAS software to design the pair of alternative and combination of factors in order to balance and give the optimal sets. I use clogit to analyze my choices and I want to know how I calculate probability the people choose each alternative in choice set. 

if I want to calculate personal factors, should I use -xtlogit- or which command it is appropriate? 

Thanks
