14.61: Discrete Choice Analysis: Predicting Demand and Market Shares.
An in-depth study of discrete choice models (logit, nested logit, generalized extreme value, probit, logit mixtures, etc.) including their specification, estimation, statistical testing, forecasting, and application. Advanced topics include the analysis of revealed and stated preferences data, sampling, behavioral mixture models, simulation-based estimation, discrete panel data, Bayesian estimation, discrete-continuous models, choice from a menu, and models with latent variables. Learn practical tools needed to apply techniques, use free discrete choice software, and gain hands-on experience by estimating and testing alternative models using real data sets. http://web.mit.edu/mitpep/pi/courses/discrete_choice_analysis.html
