A Discrete Choice Modeling Framework


My project proposal to Statsmodels has been accepted for this year’s Google Summer of Code. My work is related to Discrete Choice Models (DCM) based on random utility maximization approach (RUM). Firstly, we work on multinomial logit and the nested logit algorithms and, then, on mixed logit algorithms. You can see my final proposal here.

GSoC 2013 is already started and we are working on to implement a model wich variables could vary over alternatives, a type of multinomial logit model also called conditional logit, and looking for a new dataset that will be used in the tests and examples.

On the other hand, we are working on a outline with cases of use, properties and references of the principal DCM based on RUM. As well, we are listing the statistics software packages and source codes for DCM estimation. You can see it here
Any feedback, comments, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
If you want to collaborate on it, you are welcome. Please, email me and I'll send you a link to edit the document.
