Variable selection in general multinomial logit models
The use of the multinomial logit model is typically restricted to applications with few predictors, because in high-dimensional settings maximum likelihood estimates tend to deteriorate. In this paper we are proposing a sparsity-inducing penalty that accounts for the special structure of multinomial models. In contrast to existing methods, it penalizes the parameters that are linked to one vari...
متن کاملMultinomial logit models with implicit variable selection
Multinomial logit models which are most commonly used for the modeling of unordered multi-category responses are typically restricted to the use of few predictors. In the high-dimensional case maximum likelihood estimates frequently do not exist. In this paper we are developing a boosting technique called multinomBoost that performs variable selection and fits the multinomial logit model also w...
متن کاملSelection of multinomial logit models via association rules analysis
In this research, we propose a novel approach for a multinomial logit model selection procedure: specifically, we apply association rules analysis to identifying potential interactions for multinomial logit modeling. Interaction effects are very common in reality, but conventional multinomial logit model selection methods typically ignore them. This is especially true for higher-order interacti...
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 کاملMultinomial logit random effects models
This article presents a general approach for logit random effects modelling of clustered ordinal and nominal responses. We review multinomial logit random effects models in a unified form as multivariate generalized linear mixed models. Maximum likelihood estimation utilizes adaptive Gauss–Hermite quadrature within a quasi-Newton maximization algorithm. For cases in which this is computationall...
