references

here are some references to multinomial models:

Agresti A.(1996) An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis

Agresti A. (2002) Categorical Data Analysis, 2nd Edition

McCullagh P. and Nelder J. (1989). Generalized Linear Models. Chapman
and Hall,
London.

http://data.princeton.edu/wws509/notes/c6.pdf 

http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~pat/Splusdiscrete2.pdf 
(see chapter 11 for Multinomial response)

etc .......

> Is it possible to use R software?

You can consult these links :
http://www.stat.ufl.edu/~aa/cda/software.html 
http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~pat/Splusdiscrete2.pdf 
(see chapter 11 for Multinomial response)
>>>

I would suggest, in addition,

Hosmer & Lemeshow Applied Logistic Regression esp. p 280-288, and
references therein.
In particular, they cite 

Lesaffre & Albert, Multiple-group regression diagnostics, Applied
Statistics, 38, 425-440

but note that the techniques recommended there are not implemented in
'available software'.  I would be interested to know if these techniques
have been implemented since H and L.
