Assessing Heterogeneity in Discrete Choice Models Using a Dirichlet Process Prior
The finite normal mixture model has emerged as a dominant methodology for assessing heterogeneity in choice models. Although it extends the classic mixture models by allowing within component variablility, it requires that a relatively large number of models be separately estimated and fairly difficult test procedures to determine the “correct” number of mixing components. We present a very gen...
متن کاملIntroducing of Dirichlet process prior in the Nonparametric Bayesian models frame work
Statistical models are utilized to learn about the mechanism that the data are generating from it. Often it is assumed that the random variables y_i,i=1,…,n ,are samples from the probability distribution F which is belong to a parametric distributions class. However, in practice, a parametric model may be inappropriate to describe the data. In this settings, the parametric assumption could be r...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in dynamic discrete choice models
We consider dynamic discrete choice models with heterogeneity in both the levels parameter and the state dependence parameter. We rst analyse the purchase of full fat milk using a long consumer panel (T > 100) on many households. The large T nature of the panel allows us to consistently estimate the parameters of each household separately. This analysis indicates strongly that the levels and T...
متن کاملRandom Covariance Heterogeneity in Discrete Choice Models
In this paper, we extend the standard discrete choice modelling framework by allowing for random variation in the substitution patterns between alternatives across respondents, leading to increased model flexibility. The paper shows how such a Mixed Covariance model can be specified either with purely random variation or with a mixture between random and deterministic variation. Additionally, t...
متن کاملModeling unobserved sources of heterogeneity in animal abundance using a Dirichlet process prior.
In surveys of natural populations of animals, a sampling protocol is often spatially replicated to collect a representative sample of the population. In these surveys, differences in abundance of animals among sample locations may induce spatial heterogeneity in the counts associated with a particular sampling protocol. For some species, the sources of heterogeneity in abundance may be unknown ...
