Logit dynamics [Blume, Games and Economic Behavior, 1993] is a randomized best response dynamics where at every time step a player is selected uniformly at random and she chooses a new strategy according to the “logit choice function”, i.e. a probability distribution biased towards strategies promising higher payoffs, where the bias level corresponds to the degree of rationality of the agents. ...

This article introduces a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for sampling the parameters of a multinomial logit model from their posterior distribution. Let yi ∈ {0, . . . ,M} denote the categorical response of subject i with covariates xi = (xi1, . . . , xip) T . Let X = (x1, . . . ,xn) T denote the design matrix, and let y = (y1, . . . , yn) T . Multinomial logit models relate yi to xi th...

In this study we develop and test an econometric model for combining choice and preference ratings data collected from the same set of individuals. Choice data are modeled using a multinomial logit framework, while preference data are modeled using an ordered response equation. Individual heterogeneity is allowed for via random coefficients providing a link between the choice and ratings data. ...

backgrounds and aims: the tehran province was subject to the second highest incidence of fatalities due to traffic accidents in 1390. most studies in this field examine rural traffic accidents, but this study is based on the use of logit models and artificial neural networks to evaluate the factors that affect the severity of accidents within the city of tehran. materials and methods: among the...

Discrete choice models, like the multinomial logit (MNL), have long been recognized for their ability to capture a wide array of transport-related choice phenomena. However, a number of choices are continuous response variables (e.g., location choice, departure time choice, activity duration, and vehicle usage). In this paper, the continuous cross-nested logit (CCNL) model is introduced. The CC...

mlogit is a package for R which enables the estimation the multinomial logit models with individual and/or alternative specific variables. The main extensions of the basic multinomial model (heteroscedastic, nested and random parameter models) are implemented.

Empirical studies on household car ownership have used two types of discrete choice modelling structures, the ordered and the unordered. In ordered structures such as the ordered logit and ordered probit models, the choice of the number of household-vehicles arises from a uni-dimensional latent index that reflects the propensity of a household to own vehicles. Unordered response models, on the ...

In each stated choice (SC) survey, there is an underlying experimental design from which the hypothetical choice situations are determined. These designs are constructed by the analyst, with several different ways of constructing these designs having been proposed in the past. Recently, there has been a move from so-called orthogonal designs to more efficient designs. Efficient designs optimize...
