The following one-week courses, taught by Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva and
visiting lecturers, will be offered this summer at MIT. Your help in
forwarding this announcement to interested persons or groups is appreciated.
Discrete Choice Analysis: Predicting Demand and Market Shares [14.61s]
Date: June 14-18, 2010 | Tuition: $3,900 |CEUs: 2.9
In-depth study of discrete choice models (logit, nested logit, generalized extreme value, probit, logit mixtures), specification, estimation, statistical testing, forecasting, and application. Topics include analysis of revealed and stated preferences data, sampling, behavioral mixture models, simulation-based estimation, discrete panel data, Bayesian estimation, discrete-continuous models, menu choice, and models with latent variables. Learn practical applications, discrete choice software, and gain hands-on experience.
