Re: st: intraclass correlation for Categorical data

Many thanks Dirk,
But this doesnt work, as I have more than 2 categories ...
To be more precise, I have a panel dataset which is too large for
using random or fixed LOGIT models...
Therefore I am constrained to fit a multinomial logit (which works
fine even with millions of observations), and I was trying to figure
out if the "correlation" between the categorical observations within
my clusters (the individuals of my panel dataset) show a high or low
level of correlation... I hope of course to find a low "correlation"
(can we say "correlation" for nominal variables? not sure) in order to
justify the independence assumption of the multinomial logit ;-)
Maybe there is no short answer to this problem... ;)
Best,
