A 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 کاملRelaxing the IIA Assumption in Locational Choice Models: A Comparison Between Conditional Logit, Mixed Logit, and Multinomial Probit Models∗
This paper estimates a locational choice model to assess the demand for local public services, using a data set where individuals chooses between 26 municipalities within a local labor market. We assess the importance of the IIA assumption by comparing the predictions of three difference models; the conditional logit (CL) model, the mixed logit (MXL) model, and the multinomial probit (MNP) mode...
متن کاملData Augmentation, Frequentist Estimation, and the Bayesian Analysis of Multinomial Logit Models
This article introduces a generalization of Tanner and Wong’s data augmentation algorithm which can be used when the complete data posterior distribution cannot be directly sampled. The algorithm proposes parameter values based on complete data sampling distributions of convenient frequentist estimators which ignore some information in the complete data likelihood. The proposals are filtered us...
متن کاملSemiparametric Multinomial Logit Models for Analysing Consumer Choice Behaviour
The multinomial logit model (MNL) is one of the most frequently used statistical models in marketing applications. It allows to relate an unordered categorical response variable, for example representing the choice of a brand, to a vector of covariates such as the price of the brand or variables characterising the consumer. In its classical form, all covariates enter in strictly parametric, lin...
متن کاملAssortment Optimization under Unknown MultiNomial Logit Choice Models
Motivated by e-commerce, we study the online assortment optimization problem. The seller offers an assortment, i.e. a subset of products, to each arriving customer, who then purchases one or no product from her offered assortment. A customer’s purchase decision is governed by the underlyingMultiNomial Logit (MNL) choice model. The seller aims to maximize the total revenue in a finite sales hori...
