Abstract In this study, Ethiopian households’ residential fuel usage and technological preferences are analyzed. For 2524 urban families, we use panel data from two waves of the Socioeconomic Survey (ESS). Households’ technology choices short-run energy consumption behavior modeled jointly. To estimate behavior, feasible generalized nonlinear least squares (FGNLS) iterated. Random effects binar...

Assortment optimization problems arise widely in many practical applications such as retailing and online advertising. In this problem, the goal is to select a subset from a universe of substitutable items to offer to customers in order to maximize the expected revenue. The demand of any item depends on the substitution behavior of the customers that is captured mathematically by a choice model...

in order to investigate effective factors on bread waste and determine effect genial of each factor on probability of being each family in three categories of low-medium, high and extra high bread waste, the order logit model and the 352 families data from mashad city were taken in use. the samples have been selected using a simple random sampling method. the survey of marginal effect in order ...

This paper describes the development of railway station choice models suitable for defining probabilistic station catchments for use in the aggregate demand models typically used to forecast demand for new rail stations. Revealed preference passenger survey data obtained from the Welsh and Scottish Governments was used for model calibration. Techniques were developed to identify trip origins an...

Many variables that are of interest in social science research are nominal variables with two or more categories, such as employment status, occupation, political preference, or self-reported health status. With longitudinal survey data it is possible to analyse the transitions of individuals between different employment states or occupations (for example). In the statistical literature, models...

the purpose of this study is estimate the protection value of gavkhony wetland ecosystem attributes with use of choice experiment approach and conditional logit model. data needed extracted from six different choice experiment questionnaires filled out by 500 random households in isfahan and varzane city. each questionnaire contained 72 hypothetical policies (options), 36 choice sets, 2442 obse...

Current opinion regarding the selection of link function in binary response models is that the probit and logit links give essentially similar results. This seems to be true for univariate binary response models; however, for multivariate binary response models such advice is misleading. We address a gap in the literature by empirically examining the relationship between link function selection...

Estimation of disaggregate mode choice models to estimate the ridership share on a proposed new (or improved) intercity travel service and to identify the modes from which existing intercity travelers will be diverted to the new or upgraded service constitutes a critical part of evaluating alternative travel service proposals to alleviate intercity travel congestion. This paper develops a new h...
