Revealing additional dimensions of preference heterogeneity in a latent class mixed multinomial logit model (2013, unknown): “3 Bujosa et al. (2010) also found a number of statistically nonsignificant parameter estimates in one class.”
Adoption of renewable heating systems: An empirical test of the diffusion of innovation theory (2017, methodology): “To relax such a maintained assumption, we allowed for random taste variation within each class and estimated a Panel Latent Class-Random Parameters Logit model (LC-RPL) [57], [58], [59], [60], [27], [47], [61] accounting for the series of T choices made by each respondent.”
Latent class structures: taste heterogeneity and beyond (2014, methodology): “…as straightforward to capture in a latent class framework, and this, along with a desire for more flexible specifications of heterogeneity, has motivated work on combining the two approaches, for example in Walker and Li (2006); Bujosa et al. (2010); Greene and Hensher (2013); Hess et al. (2013b).”
Are consumers willing to pay to let cars drive for them? Analyzing response to autonomous vehicles (2017, methodology): “…we adopt and implement the idea of the mixed-mixed logit model (MM-MNL) that represents heterogenous preferences as a weighted average of normals (Bujosa et al., 2010; Greene and Hensher, 2013; Keane and Wasi, 2013).5 If θ′i = (αi, γPVFC,i,ω ′ x,i) represents the full vector of parameters of…”
Contemporary Guidance for Stated Preference Studies (2017, background): “Models have been proposed in which both discrete and continuous distributions are present (Bujosa, Riera, and Hicks 2010).”
Willingness-to-Pay for Alternative Fuel Vehicle Characteristics: A Stated Choice Study for Germany (2014, methodology): “Hence, the general methodological approach of the LCM is described briefly in the following, drawing directly from Swait (1994, 2007), Boxall and Adamowicz (2002), Greene and Hensher (2003), Bujosa et al. (2010), and Hess et al. (2011).”
