In this study, the manner of private taxis drivers has been investigated for choosing passenger and destination from a fixed point. Therefore, two models called Multinomial and Nested Logit Models have been utilized. The information gained by scrolling in 2016 is the input data, which are in the format of revealed preference, acquired by the verbal interview in Vanak Square in Tehran (Iran). Ba...

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...

The Multinomial Logit, discrete choice model of transport demand, has several restrictions when compared with the more general Multinomial Probit model. The most famous of these are that unobservable components of utilities should be mutually independent and homoskedastic. Correlation can be accommodated to a certain extent by the Hierarchical Logit model, but the problem of heteroskedasticity ...

abstract researches of preservation valuation of natural resources and environment were done in order to create necessary awareness for making optimal decisions in the field of the ways of economic management of these resources and helping to establish sustainable regional development strategy. in this study, preservation value of lilium ledebourii estimated using single bounded dichotomous cho...

this study predicts corporate bankruptcy five years before its occurrence using financial ratios introduced in altman’s z-score model and current ratio. three estimation methods namely; liner probability, logit and probit models have chosen for model estimation. the sample contains 134 companies in tehran stock exchange during 2003. the precision of prediction of the estimated models for the ma...

This paper discusses the representability of discrete logit-type models including multinomial logit and nested logit model from a mathematical approach. It is shown that the logit-type models can be reconstructed from mathematical approximation theory with sigmoidal functions widely used in Neural Network modeling without the basic assumptions such as IIA and iid, and the distribution (or densi...

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...
