↵¶ With three alternatives per choice, a chance model would have a root likelihood of 1/3. A perfect model fit would have a root likelihood of 1.
↵** Indicates how much better the solution is than chance, as compared to a perfect solution. 0% corresponds to a model fit at the chance level, and 100% corresponds to a perfect model fit. This corresponds to a log likelihood of −2029.87.
↵†† The probability that the fully specified model is not different from a null model (in which all attribute coefficients are zero).
↵‡‡ Mean of individual coefficients.
