We develop an extension of the familiar linear mixed logit model to allow for the direct estimation of parametric non-linear functions defined over structural parameters. Classic applications include the estimation of coefficients of utility functions to characterize risk attitudes and discounting functions to characterize impatience. There are several unexpected benefits of this extension, apa...

A comparison of corporate failure models in Australia: Hybrid neural networks, logit models and discriminant analysis. A comparison of corporate failure models in Australia: Hybrid neural networks, logit models and discriminant analysis. Abstract This study investigated whether two artificial neural networks (ANNs), multilayer perceptron (MLP) and hybrid networks using statistical and ANN appro...

Due to the number of severe traffic collisions involving motorcycles, a comprehensive investigation is required determine their causes. This study analyzed Texas crash data from 2017 2021 who was at fault and how various factors affect frequency severity motorcycle collisions. Moreover, tried identify high-risk sites for crashes. Utilizing bivariate analysis logistic regression models, investig...

The failure rate of Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), is high in Sweden. Around 6000 SMEs go into bankruptcy every year. This paper attempts to identify the main determinants that are perceived to have contribution to the failure of Swedish SMEs. The research is in principle based on the analysis of panel data matched sample consisting of 1991 bankrupted and 1991 nonbankrupted Swedish SMEs. ...

In an effort to understand how academic scientists seek information relevant to their research in today’s environment of ubiquitous electronic access, a correlation framework is built and regression analysis is applied to the survey results from 2,063 academic researchers in natural science, engineering, and medical science at five research universities in the United States. Previous work has r...

The accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in 1979 led to an unprecedented set of events with potentially life threatening implications. This paper focusses on the analysis of a longitudinal study of the psychological well-being of the mothers of young children living within 10 miles of the plant. The initial analyses of the data utilize loglinear/logit model techniques from the ...
