Dear John and Chris:

I need to make sure I understand your suggestion here. With 4 Yes or
No options, subject is free to pick any combination. That leads to a
multinomial model with 16 possible 4 tuples as outcomes:

(N,N,N,N)
(N,N,N,Y)
(N,N,Y,N)
(N,N,Y,Y)
(N,Y,N,N)
...and so forth
(Y,Y,Y,Y)

I've never tried fitting a multinomial with more than a few different
outcomes.  But I'm up for the challenge if that's what you are
actually suggesting.
