Currently I am doing choice experiment modelling using conditional logistic model. I am treating all of my attributes as categorical variables. Therefore I run this command using Stata14:
clogit most i.benefit i.distribution i.duration i.restriction i.participation, group(respqu)
However, I got this response:
note: 3.distribution omitted because of collinearity
note: 6.duration omitted because of collinearity
note: 1 group (3 obs) dropped because of all positive or
all negative outcomes.
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -2544.1899
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -2463.2558
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -2459.202
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -2459.1952
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -2459.1952
Conditional (fixed-effects) logistic regression
Number of obs = 8,106
LR chi2(10) = 1018.51
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -2459.1952 Pseudo R2 = 0.1716

I found 2 variables from 2 attributes are omitted (distribution 3 and duration 6). When I added status quo variable, the variable is omitted as well, and the response are not changed. I need to keep those 2 variables since all are important. Could somebody give me advice please to solve this problem?? Your advice is appreciated. Many thanks.
