Merged from Discrete Choice Models completed. - Dcm09

Merger proposal
I have added this tag as the coverage looks the same. There may be some ideas or references that can be copied over. Not sure what to do about the transwiki tag. Melcombe (talk) 12:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Isn't this just classification?
Is there any mathematical difference between "discrete choice analysis" and what is called classification in other fields, e.g. machine learning? Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 09:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Dr. Czajkowski has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"The article could be made more balanced but overall it is fairly detailed. Some other reading suggestions: Hess, S., and Daly, A., eds. 2014. Handbook of choice modelling. Edward Elgar, Northampton, MA. Hensher Rose Greene have a newer edition."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Dr. Gogas's comment on this article

"The article is an excellent overview of the relevant theory and applications on real life phenomena. I would add a few more extensions with the use of machine learning in classification."

Dr. Shen's comment on this article
Dr. Shen has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"Mixed logit[9][10][19], - Allows any form of correlation and substitution patterns.[20] When a mixed logit is with jointly normal random terms, the models is sometimes called "multinomial probit model with logit kernel"[21] Can be applied to route choice.[22]

It is better to add "also called random parameter logit" after "Mixed logit".

In addition, a latent class logit model (Greene and Hensher, 2003; Shen, 2009) and a latent class mixed multinomial logit model (Greene and Hensher, 2013) should also be introduced in the section of "Multinomial choice with correlation among alternatives".

Dr. Winkelmann's comment on this article
Dr. Winkelmann has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"Minor points Subsection "Consumer utility"

here, choosing i requires that U_ni>U_nj \forall i \neq j

the "for all" is missing and should be added.

Subsection "Prominent types of discrete choice models"

better "binary choice" than "Binomial choice models" to make it consistent with what follows

General impression:

3.1. could be somewhat shortened: combine probit and logit

Nothing on estimation"

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Winkelmann has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:

Split dynamic discrete choice
I did a bold WP:SPLIT and moved the dynamic discrete choice section to its own article. Dynamic discrete choice is conceptually different from the models described here, and practically it's very different (see the Estimation section). It's also primarily of interest to economics, while discrete choice is more broadly used. Few of the incoming links here were actually for dynamic discrete choice. Wikiacc (¶) 23:38, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
