Discrete mixtures of GEV models

چکیده
Allowing for variations in behaviour across respondents is one of the most fundamental principles in discrete choice modelling, given that the assumption of a purely homogeneous population cannot in general (or ever) be seen to be valid. Two approaches have classically been used to address this problem; the use of deterministic segmentations of the population, and the use of a random continuous representation of variations in tastes across respondents. In this paper, we discuss an alternative approach, based on the use of discrete mixtures of underlying GEV models over a finite set of distinct support points. The paper presents two applications; one illustrating the performance of the model with the help of simulated data, and one showing, on real data, how the model can be used to test the validity of hypotheses such as the presence of individuals with zero valuations of travel-time changes.

Performance Evaluation of Dynamic Modulus Predictive Models for Asphalt Mixtures
Dynamic modulus characterizes the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt materials and is the most important input parameter for design and rehabilitation of flexible pavements using Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Laboratory determination of dynamic modulus is very expensive and time consuming. To overcome this challenge, several predictive models were developed to determine dyn...

In this paper, we calculate the second virial coefficient for binary mixtures of Ar with CH4 and CO in order to evaluate the performance of equations of state (EOSs). The investigated EOSs are van der Waals (vdW), Redlich-Kwong (RK), Peng-Robinson (PR), Carnahan-Starling–van der Waals (CS-vdW) and Guggenheim-van der Waals (G-vdW) based on van der Waals model. In our work, we also use Dieterici ...

The molecular associations in the binary mixtures of (methanol/solvent), (ethanol/solvent) and (propanol/solvent) were studied using NMR, FTIR and VLE data at different temperatures. The activity coefficients as the most important quantities representing the mixture deviation form ideal behavior were evaluated by using various association models to express the physical and chemical contribution...
متن کاملConvergence of latent mixing measures in nonparametric and mixture models
We consider Wasserstein distance functionals for assessing the convergence of latent discrete measures, which serve as mixing distributions in hierarchical and nonparametric mixture models. We clarify the relationships between Wasserstein distances of mixing distributions and f -divergence functionals such as Hellinger and Kullback-Leibler distances on the space of mixture distributions using v...
