Most commercial statistics software packages offer build-in logit model estimation functions. Some academic researchers in economics and marketing science field provide their source codes for academic use.

Contents

Train's code

Prof. Ken Train offers his Matlab codes using both maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and Bayesian approach for mixed logit model.


Lenk's Code

Prof. Peter Lenk offers his Gauss code using Bayesian methods for discrete choice model estimation.


Biogeme

A free software package provided by Prof. Michael Bierlaire using the maximum likelihood estimation for Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) models. It can be used for Multinomial Logit models, Nested logit models and other types of GEV models.


DCM Package

DCM stands for Discrete Choice Model. It is free software package written in Ox (a substitute called OxMetrics has trial version available) which is a commercial statistics programming language. It is provided by Matias Eklof at Uppsala University and Melvyn Weeks at University of Cambridge. However, the package has not been updated since August 2005.
