This article focuses on discrete choice analysis (DCA), which offers an effective approach for incorporating customer preferences into operating decisions in hospitality businesses. First the theoretical background of DCA is presented, including a discussion of how DCA compares to conjoint analysis. The authors then present a guide to designing and conducting a DCA study. Conducting a discrete choice study involves identifying the attributes relevant to customers'choices and the appropriate levels of these attributes, designing an experiment, collecting data and estimating parameters using a multinomial logit model. Finally, the strategic implications of DCA in hospitality management research are discussed.

Recently, there has been renewed interest in improving the logit-based route choice model because of the importance of the route choice model in intelligent transportation systems applications, particularly the applications of advanced traveler information systems. The paired combinatorial logit (PCL) model and its equivalent mathematical programming formulation for the route choice problem have been studied. An algorithm based on the partial linearization method is presented for solving the PCL stochastic user equilibrium problem. Detailed examples are provided to explain how this hierarchical logit model resolves the overlapping problem through the similarity index while still accounting for both congestion and stochastic effects in the mathematical programming formulation.

Travelers in multimodal networks make many choices (e.g., main mode, access modes, egress modes, boarding nodes, transfer nodes, and egress nodes). One way to address this complexity of choices is to analyze choice sets of multimodal routes. However, choice sets for multimodal networks are large, and overlap of routes within choice sets is substantial. This paper focuses on overlap in multimodal transport networks. An overview of the topic of overlap and route choice modeling is given and is followed by an analysis of how overlap might be defined in the context of multimodal networks. Three definitions of “overlap” are proposed, based on number of legs, time, or distance. The different definitions are analyzed using path size logit estimations, which show that path size must be accounted for. Furthermore, the definition of “path size” for multimodal transport networks should be different from that used for road networks: for multimodal transport networks, a definition using number of legs yields substantially better results. Estimation results suggest that the weighting parameter corresponding with the path size variable should be equal to 1, implying that the path size variable based on number of legs accounts for the correlation of error terms of overlapping parts.

The nested logit model has become an important tool for the empirical analysis of discrete outcomes. There is some confusion about its specification of the outcome probabilities. Two major variants show up in the literature. This paper compares both and finds that one of them (called random utility maximization nested logit, RUMNL) is preferable in most situations. Since the command nlogit of Stata 7.0 implements the other variant (called non-normalized nested logit, NNNL), an implementation of RUMNL called nlogitrum is introduced. Numerous examples support and illustrate the differences between both specifications.
