Bayesian Inference in the Multinomial Logit Model
The multinomial logit model (MNL) possesses a latent variable representation in terms of random variables following a multivariate logistic distribution. Based on multivariate finite mixture approximations of the multivariate logistic distribution, various data-augmented Metropolis-Hastings algorithms are developed for a Bayesian inference of the MNL model. Zusammenfassung: Das multinomiale log...
متن کاملThe Generalized Multinomial Logit Model
The so-called “mixed” or “heterogeneous” multinomial logit (MIXL) model has become popular in a number of fields, especially Marketing, Health Economics and Industrial Organization. In most applications of the model, the vector of consumer utility weights on product attributes is assumed to have a multivariate normal (MVN) distribution in the population. Thus, some consumers care more about som...
متن کاملA Bayesian Mixed Logit-Probit Model for Multinomial Choice
In this paper we introduce a new flexible mixed model for multinomial discrete choice where the key individualand alternative-specific parameters of interest are allowed to follow an assumptionfree nonparametric density specification while other alternative-specific coefficients are assumed to be drawn from a multivariate normal distribution which eliminates the independence of irrelevant alter...
متن کاملData Augmentation for the Bayesian Analysis of Multinomial Logit Models
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...
متن کاملFitting Bayesian hierarchical multinomial logit models in PROC MCMC
The paper illustrates how to use the MCMC procedure to fit a hierarchical, multinomial logit model for a nominal response variable with correlated responses in a Bayesian framework. In particular, the paper illustrates how to perform three important parts of Bayesian model fitting. First, to make sure appropriate prior distributions are selected, the paper shows how to simulate draws directly f...
