Estimation
摘要
This chapter covers the estimation of discrete choice models. We begin with a simple Multinomial Logit (MNL) model (with and without unobserved preference heterogeneity) and highlight the importance of optimisation diagnostics, review goodness-of-fit indicators and the identification of outliers, and provide insights into the interpretation of estimates. Progressing to more advanced topics, we continue with the Random Parameters Mixed Logit (RP-MXL) model, addressing both uncorrelated and correlated coefficients, and discuss different parameterisation approaches such as the preference space and the willingness-to-pay space. We conclude with an analysis of Latent Class Mixed Logit (LC-MXL) models and a discussion of extensions of RP-MXL and LC-MXL models.
