Assortment Planning Under the Multinomial Logit Model with Totally Unimodular Constraint Structures
We consider constrained assortment problems assuming that customers select according to the multinomial logit model (MNL). The objective is to find an assortment that maximizes the expected revenue per customer and satisfies a set of totally unimodular constraints. We show that this fractional binary problem can be solved as an equivalent linear program. We use this result to solve five classes...
متن کاملA Note on the Estimation of the Multinomial Logit Model
The multinomial logit model with random eeects is often used in modeling correlated nominal polytomous data. Given that there is no standard software of tting it, we advocate using either a Poisson log-linear model or a Poisson nonlinear model, both with random eeects. Their implementations can be carried out easily by many existing commercial statistical packages including SAS. A brand choice ...
متن کاملMultinomial Probabilities, Permanents and a Conjecture of Karlin and Rinott
The probability density function of a multiparameter multinomial distribution can be expressed in terms of the permanent of a suitable matrix. This fact and certain results on conditionally negative definite matrices are used to prove a conjecture due to Karlin and Rinott.
متن کاملOptimal Design of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures Under a Stability Constraint
This paper suggests an optimization-based methodology for the design of minimum weight structures with kinematic nonlinear behavior. Attention is focused on three-dimensional reticulated structures idealized with beam elements under proportional static loadings. The algorithm used for optimization is based on a classical optimality criterion approach using an active-set strategy for extreme lim...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Minimax Risk for the Estimation of Constrained Binomial and Multinomial Probabilities
In this paper we present a direct and simple approach to obtain bounds on the asymptotic minimax risk for the estimation of constrained binomial and multinomial proportions. Quadratic, normalized quadratic and entropy loss are considered and it is demonstrated that in all cases linear estimators are asymptotically minimax optimal. For the quadratic loss function the asymptotic minimax risk does...
