Factors affecting public support of transportation policies : using an international survey and hybrid discrete choice modeling
What transportation policies do people support? What factors affect people's policy support? Detangling people's support of transportation policies is a way to understand public needs, to understand how the public evaluates and envisions the role of government in shaping the current as well as …

Empirical Studies of Discrete Choice Models in Health, Fertility, and Voting
Almost everything that we do involves a choice. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the development and application of quantitative statistical methods to study choices made by individuals with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of how choices are made and also to …

Use of discrete choice models with recommender systems
… In this dissertation, we investigate the use of discrete choice models as a radically new technique for giving personalized recommendations. Discrete choice modeling allows the integration of item and user specific data as well as contextual information that may be crucial in some applications. …

Modeling dynamic community acceptance of mining using agent-based modeling
… The main objective is to apply agent-based modeling (ABM) and discrete choice modeling to understand changes in community acceptance over time due to changes in community demographics and perceptions. This objective focuses on: 1) formulating agent utility functions for ABM, based on …

Opportunities for short-sea shipping in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region: evidence based on discrete choice modelling
… by studying the determinants of SSS, the stated choice preference of shippers and freight forwarders and the stated intentions of maritime carriers for SSS. It is purported the introduction of SSS in SADC could reduce socio-environmental problems currently faced such as road damage, road …

Resource Selection, Survival, and Departure of Adult Female Mallards From The Lake St. Clair Region During Autumn And Winter
… August to 31 January 2014–15 and 2015–16. I used discrete-choice modeling to determine if mallard resource selection strategies were best explained by composition of habitat type (i.e., quality) and ownership type (i.e., presumed level of mortality risk). I observed selection for habitat types …

Competition and congestion in the National Aviation System : multi-agent, multi-stakeholder approaches for evaluation and mitigation
… a detailed framework using data fusion and discrete choice modeling' for generating disaggregate passenger travel data. We characterize the impacts of airline network structures, schedules and operational decisions on passenger delays. We propose a parametric game-theoretic model consistent …

Preference Construction and Decision-Making for Green Infrastructure: How Do Behavioral Interventions Influence Choice and Neurocognition?
… design. Both a stated preference survey with discrete choice modeling and two sets of experiments using neuroimaging to measure the change in neurocognition were used to explore preference construction and decision-making about green infrastructure. A sample of the public (N=946) across the …

Testing Criterion Validity of Benefit Transfer Using Simulated Data
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the differences between the study and policy sites impact the performance of benefit function transfer. For this purpose, simulated data are created where all information necessary to conduct the benefit function transfer is available. We consider …
