We provide the first behavioral characterization of nested logit, a foundational and widely applied discrete-choice model, through introduction nonparametric version logit that we call “nested stochastic choice” (NSC). NSC is characterized by single axiom weakens independence irrelevant alternatives on basis revealed similarity to allow for effect. Nested an additional menu-independence axiom. ...

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...

On a shopping trip to a supermarket a customer may purchase a product in a given category and, if so, buys a particular brand. A previous paper by the authors models the brand choice part of this process. A multinomial logit model describes the selection of brand and size given that the customer makes a category purchase. Explanatory variables include store actions, such as price and promotion,...

Residential location choice is a key component of the models for predicting land-use and transport demand in urban planning. In general, it requires to consider correlation between spatial alternatives. The approach nested alternatives logit model has proved highly efficient this context. This incorporates into both non-spatial correlations due unobserved variables. metric extensions spatially ...

We study firms that sell multiple differentiated substitutable products and customers whose purchase behavior follows a Nested Logit model, of which the Multinomial Logit model is a special case. Customers make purchasing decision sequentially under the Nested Logit model: they first select a nest of products and subsequently purchase a product within the selected nest. We consider the general ...

Categorical outcome (or discrete outcome or qualitative response) regression models are models for a discrete dependent variable recording in which of two or more categories an outcome of interest lies. For binary data (two categories) probit and logit models or semiparametric methods are used. For multinomial data (more than two categories) that are unordered, common models are multinomial and...
