A Mixed Spatially Correlated Logit Model: Formulation and Application to Residential Choice Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, there have been important developments in the simulation analysis of the mixed multinomial logit (MMNL) model as well as in the formulation of increasingly flexible closedform models belonging to the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) class. In this paper, we bring these developments together to propose a mixed spatially correlated logit (MSCL) model for location-related choices. The MSCL model represents a powerful approach to capture both random taste variations as well as spatial correlation in location choice analysis. The MSCL model is applied to an analysis of residential location choice using data drawn from the 1996 Dallas-Fort Worth household survey. The empirical results underscore the need to capture unobserved taste variations and spatial correlation, both for improved data fit and the realistic assessment of the effect of sociodemographic, transportation system, and land-use changes on residential location choice.

Accommodating Spatial Correlation across Choice Alternatives in Discrete Choice Models: an Application to Modeling Residential Location Choice Behavior
This paper presents a modeling methodology capable of accounting for spatial correlation across choice alternatives in discrete choice modeling applications. Many location choice (e.g., residential location, workplace location, destination location) modeling contexts involve choice sets where alternatives are spatially correlated with one another due to unobserved factors. In the presence of su...

There is a growing recognition that discrete choice models are capable of providing a more realistic picture of route choice behavior. In particular, influential factors other than travel time that are found to affect the choice of route trigger the application of random utility models in the route choice literature. This paper focuses on path-based, logit-type stochastic route choice models, i...

The nested logit model has been used extensively to model multi-dimensional choice situations. A drawback of the nested logit model is that it does not allow choice alternatives to share common unobserved attributes along all the dimensions characterizing the multi-dimensional choice context. This paper formulates a mixed multinomial logit structure that accommodates unobserved correlation acro...

This paper proposes the use of a quasi-random sequence for the estimation of the mixed multinomial logit model. The mixed multinomial structure is a flexible discrete choice formulation which accommodates general patterns of competitiveness as well as heterogeneity across individuals in sensitivity to exogenous variables. The estimation of this model has been achieved in the past using the pseu...
