Accommodating a Flexible Response Heterogeneity Distribution in Choice Models of Human Behavior for Transportation Planning

项目名称：	Accommodating a Flexible Response Heterogeneity Distribution in Choice Models of Human Behavior for Transportation Planning
摘要：	In this project, the research team will formulate a copula-based framework to accommodate non-normal continuous mixing distributions in the multinomial probit (MNP) model. This approach will allow a multivariate mixing distribution that can combine any continuous distributional shape for each coefficient, including (but not limited to) the skew-normal distribution. The procedure will be based on generating a multivariate continuous distribution through the use of specified parametric univariate continuous coefficient distributions (that can be different for different coefficients) combined with a Gaussian Copula. This research will also propose two alternative estimation procedures for the new model. The effectiveness of the formulation and inference approach will be demonstrated through simulations and an empirical application.
