[R-sig-ME] intercept and threshold values to calculate probability based on mixor package

[K Imran M]

Let me improve the question. On page 209, the authors wrote this for
Pr(Yij=1);
Pr(Yij=1) = 1/{1 + exp[7.31 + ....]} . Unfortunately. the values given for
the rest of the formula for Yij=2 and Yij=3.

My questions are:
1) Why v1 is 7.31 and not  -7.31
2) What are the values for v2 and v3

Thanks David for your reply. Can you be more specific?

Best wishes,

Kamarul
