Estimating mixed logit with non-parametric random variables
The estimation of random parameters by means of mixed logit models is becoming current practice amongst discrete choice analysts, one of the most straightforward applications being the derivation of willingness to pay distribution over a heterogeneous population. In many practical cases, parametric distributions are a priori specified and the parameters for these distributions are estimated. Th...
متن کاملProfile Construction in Experimental Choice Designs for Mixed Logit Models
A computationally attractive model for the analysis of conjoint choice experiments is the mixed multinomial logit model, a multinomial logit model in which it is assumed that the coefficients follow a (normal) distribution across subjects. This model offers the advantage over the standard multinomial logit model of accommodating heterogeneity in the coefficients of the choice model across subje...
متن کاملAn MM Algorithm for General Mixed Multinomial Logit Models∗
This paper develops a new technique for estimating mixed logit models with a simple minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm. The algorithm requires minimal coding and is easy to implement for a variety of mixed logit models. Most importantly, the algorithm has a very low cost per iteration relative to current methods, producing substantial computational savings. In addition, the method is asym...
متن کاملHalton Sequences for Mixed Logit
The simulation variance in the estimation of mixed logit parameters is found, in our application, to be lower with 100 Halton draws than with 1000 random draws. This finding confirms Bhat’s (1999a) results and implies significant reduction in run times for mixed logit estimation. Further investigation is needed to assure that the result is not quixotic or masking other issues.
