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.

In-depth study of the most sophisticated transportation network modeling and
simulation methods including: theory and applications of origin-destination
estimation and prediction; traffic flow models and alternative simulation
methods; dynamic traffic assignment methods; models of user behavior; public
transportation models; equilibrium methods; calibration and validation; and
