Mixed logit is a fully general statistical model for examining discrete choices.It overcomes three important limitations of the standard logit model by allowing for random taste variation across choosers, unrestricted substitution patterns across choices, and correlation in unobserved factors over time.

The probability distribution of the sum of two or more independent random variables is the convolution of their individual distributions. The term is motivated by the fact that the probability mass function or probability density function of a sum of independent random variables is the convolution of their corresponding probability mass functions or probability density functions respectively.
A GAMLSS model assumes independent observations for =,, …, with probability (density) function (|,,,) conditional on (,,,) a vector of four distribution parameters, each of which can be a function of the explanatory variables. The first two population distribution parameters and are usually characterized as location and scale parameters ...
In statistics, a generalized linear model (GLM) is a flexible generalization of ordinary linear regression.The GLM generalizes linear regression by allowing the linear model to be related to the response variable via a link function and by allowing the magnitude of the variance of each measurement to be a function of its predicted value.
The resulting likelihood function is mathematically similar to the tobit model for censored dependent variables, a connection first drawn by James Heckman in 1974. [2] Heckman also developed a two-step control function approach to estimate this model, [ 3 ] which avoids the computational burden of having to estimate both equations jointly ...
The probability density, cumulative distribution, and inverse cumulative distribution functions of a generalized chi-squared variable do not have simple closed-form expressions. But there exist several methods to compute them numerically: Ruben's method, [7] Imhof's method, [8] IFFT method, [6] ray method, [6] and ellipse approximation. [6]
The generalized gamma distribution is a continuous probability distribution with two shape parameters (and a scale parameter). It is a generalization of the gamma distribution which has one shape parameter (and a scale parameter).
In decision theory, if all alternative distributions available to a decision-maker are in the same location–scale family, and the first two moments are finite, then a two-moment decision model can apply, and decision-making can be framed in terms of the means and the variances of the distributions.
