Dear Maarten

Thank You very much, actually there was something wrong with my recoding of
the mentioned variable. 

No everything works perfect, thanks for the quick help!

Kind Regards
Michael

I guess it means the following: -mlogit- needs to exclude one reference
category. If the reference differs across models, than the coefficients
cannot be compared, and averaging them would result in completely
meaningless numbers. In which case, Stata is issuing an error instead. You
see if this is the case by looking at -tab m manote, missing- to see if the
imputation model created any "weird"
grades.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
