The random coefficients multinomial choice logit model, also known as the mixed logit, has been widely used in empirical choice analysis for the last thirty years. We prove that the distribution of random coefficients in the multinomial logit model is nonparametrically identified. Our approach requires variation in product characteristics only locally and does not rely on the special regressors...

Within forest growth modeling it is customary to employ LOGIT models to predict individual tree mortality. In this paper we use Learning Vector Quantization and the self-organizing map as diierent formalisms to predict individual tree mortality. The data set for this study came from permanent sample plots in uneven-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) stands in Austria. After parameterizin...

This paper evaluates the statistical methodologies of cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, and Logit analysis used in the examination of intrusion detection data. The research is based on a sample of 1200 random observations for 42 variables of the KDD-99 database, that contains ‘normal’ and ‘bad’ connections. The results indicate that Logit analysis is more effective than cluster or discri...

We define the logit dynamic in the space of probability measures for a game with a compact and continuous strategy set. The original Burdett and Judd (1983) model of price dispersion comes under this framework. We then show that if the payoff functions of the game satisfy Lipschitz continuity under the strong topology in the space of signed measures, the logit dynamic admits a unique solution i...

This paper revisits the minimum-effort coordination game with a continuum of Paretoranked Nash equilibria. Noise is introduced via a logit probabilistic choice function. The resulting logit equilibrium distribution of decisions is unique and maximizes a stochastic potential function. In the limit as the noise vanishes, the distribution converges to an outcome that is analogous to the risk-domin...

This paper examines the distribution of preferences among respondents to a discrete choice experiment on the choice of general practitioner appointments. In addition to standard logit, mixed and latent class logit models are used to analyse the data from the choice experiment. It is found that there is significant preference heterogeneity for all the attributes in the experiment and that both t...

The analysis of mixed quotation proposed in Cappelen & Lepore (1997a), purportedly as a development of Davidson’s accounts of direct and of indirect quotation, is critically examined. It is argued that the analysis fails to specify either necessary or sufficient conditions on mixed quotation, and that the way it has been defended by its proponents makes its alleged Davidsonian parentage questio...

The simulation variance in the estimation of mixed logit parameters is found, in our application, to be lower with 100 Halton draws than with 1000 random draws. This finding confirms Bhat’s (1999a) results and implies significant reduction in run times for mixed logit estimation. Further investigation is needed to assure that the result is not quixotic or masking other issues.

This paper studies the role of online ratings for the choice of multihoming on third-party O2O platforms. Specifically, the work investigates the main effect of online ratings and its interaction with operation duration and the number of screens. An ordered logit model is employed with a sample of 1902 cinemas multihoming on O2O platforms. The findings show that online ratings have significantl...

The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting large post-void residual (PVR) (defined as ≥200 mL), an important unsolved problem, after an intravesical injection of onabotulinumtoxinA in patients with overactive bladder syndrome. The data showed that 133 of 290 patients had a large PVR after treatment. Multivariate analysis found that the baseline 3-day daytime frequency episodes and...
