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...

Inspired by the interactive discrete choice logit models [Aggarwal, 2019], this paper presents the advanced families of discrete choice models, such as nested logit, mixed logit, and probit models to consider the interaction among the attributes. Besides the DM's attitudinal character is also taken into consideration in the computation of choice probabilities. The proposed choice models make us...

It is well understood that the two most popular empirical models of location choice conditional logit and Poisson return identical coefficient estimates when the regressors are not individual specific. We show that these two models differ starkly in terms of their implied predictions. The conditional logit model represents a zero-sum world, in which one region's gain is the other regions' loss....

The main feature of the CoIL challenge data is that the observed response is discrete: we only observe whether or not the customers buy caravan insurance. Models for such data were developed in the 1940s and 1950s in the Bio-statistics literature (see references in Cox and Snell, 1989), in particular LOGIT and PROBIT. In the 1970s such techniques became popular in Economics, where a utility max...

Logit Kernel is a discrete choice model that has both probit-like disturbances as well as an additive i.i.d. extreme value (or Gumbel) disturbance à la multinomial logit. The result is an intuitive, practical, and powerful model that combines the flexibility of probit (and more) with the tractability of logit. For this reason, logit kernel has been deemed the “model of the future” and is becomi...

Many researchers have used the conditional logit model to examine migration. One common objection to this model is that it carries the independence from irrelevant alternatives (IIA) assumption, which may be too restrictive. This study compares the conditional logit with models that partially relax (nested logit) or fully relax (mixed logit) the IIA assumption. We will begin to learn whether as...

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 ...

This article deals with a very simple issue: if we have grouped data with a binary dependent variable and want to include fixed effects (group specific intercepts) in the specification, is Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) in any way superior to a (conditional) logit form? In particular, what are the consequences of using OLS instead of a fixed effects logit model with respect to the latter dropping...
