Success of the course on Discrete Choice Analysis
© 2011 EPFL
The course "Discrete Choice Analysis: Predicting Demand and Market Shares" took place March 20-24, 2011 and gathered 38 participants.
Taught by Prof. Moshe Ben-Akiva (MIT) and Prof. Michel Bierlaire (EPFL), this short course introduces methodological tools to model individual behavior. They are used to model in detail the structure of a market, and to predict the impact of various scenarios on future market shares. This year the attendance was particularly high, with 38 participants coming from various countries such as Argentina, Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and USA. The organization was coordinated by Marianne Ruegg, Aurélie Glerum and Thomas Robin.
The course is really excellent and made for beginners as well as for advanced modellers. I only can recommend this course to everybody who is interested in this exciting field of discrete choice modelling. Regine Gerike, TU München.
Interesting topics, very well-taught lectures, available lecturers, excellent organisation...Probably the best lecture anyone can find on discrete choice analysis. A very useful week! Laure Guiraud, Réseau Ferré de France
