Reference Category in Multinomial Logistic Regression

Troubleshooting


Problem

I am running the Multinomial Regression procedure (NOMREG) command in SPSS/PASW Statistics. My dependent variable has four levels. I understand that the last category (the highest numeric value or the last alphabetic value) is the reference category for the dependent variable by default. How can I specify one of the first three categories as the reference category?
