Mixed logit models and network formation

چکیده

Abstract The study of network formation is pervasive in economics, sociology, and many other fields. In this article, we model as a ‘choice’ that made by nodes to connect nodes. We these ‘choices’ using discrete-choice models, which agents choose between two or more discrete alternatives. employ the ‘repeated-choice’ (RC) formation. argue RC overcomes important limitations multinomial logit (MNL) model, gives one framework for studying formation, it well-suited also illustrate how use accurately both synthetic real-world networks. Using edge-independent networks, compare performance MNL model. find estimates data-generation process our networks than patent citation network, forms sequentially, present case qualitatively interesting scenario—the fact new patents are likely cite older, cited, similar patents—for employing yields insights.

Non-Linear Mixed Logit

We develop an extension of the familiar linear mixed logit model to allow for the direct estimation of parametric non-linear functions defined over structural parameters. Classic applications include the estimation of coefficients of utility functions to characterize risk attitudes and discounting functions to characterize impatience. There are several unexpected benefits of this extension, apa...

Comparing Three Commonly Used Crash Severity Models on Sample Size Requirements: Multinomial Logit, Ordered Probit and Mixed Logit Models

There have been many studies that have documented the application of crash severity models to explore the relationship between accident severity and its contributing factors. Although a large amount of work has been done on different types of models, no research has been conducted about quantifying the sample size requirements for crash severity modeling. Similar to count data models, small dat...

Relaxing the IIA Assumption in Locational Choice Models: A Comparison Between Conditional Logit, Mixed Logit, and Multinomial Probit Models∗

This paper estimates a locational choice model to assess the demand for local public services, using a data set where individuals chooses between 26 municipalities within a local labor market. We assess the importance of the IIA assumption by comparing the predictions of three difference models; the conditional logit (CL) model, the mixed logit (MXL) model, and the multinomial probit (MNP) mode...

Profile 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...

An 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...
