[R] fitting stated preference econometric data using multinomial logit in R

[Richard Anderson]

Hello,

Does anyone know anything about using R to fit stated preference 
econometric data using multinomial logit?  I am not sure that standard 
VGLM/VGAM can handle this, or if it does, how.  This data is different 
than more typical revealed preference data in that it is recorded as in 
the following excerpt, for a 3 attribute problem with 3 levels in which 
the respondent chooses (CHOICE) 1 of 4 alternatives:

ID CHOICE DEAD10 DEAD5 LIVE153 LIVE459  TAX
15      0      0     0       0       1   60
15      0      0     0       0       0  400
15      1      0     1       0       0 1600
15      0      1     0       0       1   60
29      0      0     0       1       0 1600
29      0      0     0       1       0   80
29      0      0     0       1       0  120
29      1      1     0       0       1   80
etc.

thanks in advance...
