Using penalized likelihood to select parameters in a random coefficients multinomial logit model
随机系数多项 Logit 模型中的惩罚似然参数选择
This paper is about estimating a random coefficients logit model in which the distribution of each coefficient is characterized by finitely many parameters, some of which may be zero. The paper gives conditions under which, with probability approaching 1 as the sample size increases, penalized maximum likelihood (PML) estimation with the adaptive LASSO (AL) penalty distinguishes correctly between zero and non-zero parameters. The paper also gives conditions under which PML…
