A multinomial logistic regression function is now avaialble in the Matlab Statistics Toolbox. I have provided versions of some of the sample software making use this function. T. M. Nearey’s software allows for more control over the specification of the logistic regression model, in particular it allows one to specify diphone-biassed models. Matlab is required to run the software. Zipped files which include Nearey's software are password protected. Contact me to get the password. See also Logistic regression Software above.
