Description: The field of discrete choice analysis has changed radically over the last decade, due primarily to the use of simulation methods. "Discrete Choice with Simulation" is an online graduate course by Kenneth Train, developed in 2001.
Exercises are provided to assist the user in learning how to run the codes and interpret the results, using datasets collected by Kenneth Train. The computer programs can, of course, be used with one's own datasets.Platforms: Gauss. The same Gauss program can be run on either Unix (Solaris 7) or PC (W95/98/NT) platforms.
