This paper discusses capabilities that are essential to models applied in policy analysis settings and the limitations of direct applications of off-the-shelf machine learning methodologies to such settings. Traditional econometric…
Experimental designs based on the classical D-optimal criterion minimize the volume of the linear-approximation inference regions for the parameters using local sensitivity coefficients. For nonlinear models, these designs can be unreliable…

We propose an estimation procedure for discrete choice models of differentiated products with possibly high-dimensional product attributes. In our model, high-dimensional attributes can be determinants of both mean and variance of the…
Optimum experimental design theory has recently been extended for parameter estimation in copula models. However, the choice of the correct dependence structure still requires wider analyses. In this work the issue of copula selection is…

Discrete-choice models, such as Multinomial Logit, Probit, or Mixed-Logit, are widely used in Marketing, Economics, and Operations Research: given a set of alternatives, the customer is modeled as choosing one of the alternatives to…
Cumulative link models have been widely used for ordered categorical responses. Uniform allocation of experimental units is commonly used in practice, but often suffers from a lack of efficiency. We consider D-optimal designs with ordered…
Optimal designs are required to make efficient statistical experiments. D-optimal designs for some models are calculated by using canonical moments. On the other hand, integrable systems are dynamical systems whose solutions can be written…
Systems with both quantitative and qualitative responses are widely encountered in many applications. Design of experiment methods are needed when experiments are conducted to study such systems. Classic experimental design methods are…
We consider an experiment with two qualitative factors at 2 levels each and a binary response, that follows a generalized linear model. In Mandal, Yang and Majumdar (2010) we obtained basic results and characterizations of locally D-optimal…
The multinomial probit model is a typical statistical model for multiple-choice data applied in many research areas. When we are interested in some quantiles of relative utilities for understanding the distribution of these utilities, the…
