  5. Random Parameter Specifications All models in LIMDEP/NLOGIT may be fit with random parameters, with panel or cross sections. NLOGIT has more options (not shown here) than the more general cases. Options for specifications ; FCN = name ( type ), name ( type ), … Type is N = normal, U = uniform, L = lognormal (positive), T = tent shaped distributions. C = nonrandom (variance = 0 – only in NLOGIT) Name is the name of a variable or parameter in the model orA_choice for ASCs (up to 8 characters). In the CLOGIT model, they are A_AIR A_TRAIN A_BUS. ; Correlated parameters (otherwise, independent)

  6. Replicability Consecutive runs of the identical model give different results. Why? Different random draws. Achieve replicability (1) Use ;HALTON (2) Set random number generator before each run with the same value. CALC ; Ran( large odd number) $ (Setting the seed is not needed for ;Halton)

  7. Random Parameters Models SETPANEL ; Group = id ; Pds = ti $ PROBIT ; Lhs = doctor ; Rhs = One,age,educ,income,female ; RPM ; Pts = 25 ; Halton ; Panel ; Fcn = one(N),educ(N) ; Correlated $ POISSON ; Lhs = Doctor ; Rhs = One,Educ,Age,Income,Hhkids ; Fcn = educ(N) ; Panel ; Pts=100 ; Halton ; Maxit = 25 $ And so on…

  8. Saving Individual Expected Values SETPANEL ; Group = id ; Pds = ti $ PROBIT ; Lhs = doctor ; Rhs = One,age,educ,income,female ; RPM ; Pts = 25 ; Halton ; Panel ; Fcn = one(N),educ(N) ; Correlated ; Parameters $
