Representing location choice within activity-based models

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala, Nicolas Jean Salvadé

Since the 70s, there has been a growing interest in activity-based modelling. This approach models the need to travel as a result of performing daily activities (Bowman and Ben-Akiva, 2001). Nevertheless, the activities need to be scheduled which involves ...

Analyse multi-échelle de n-grammes sur 200 années d'archives de presse

Vincent Christian Buntinx

The recent availability of large corpora of digitized texts over several centuries opens the way to new forms of studies on the evolution of languages. In this thesis, we study a corpus of 4 million press articles covering a period of 200 years. The thesis ...

Location choice with longitudinal WiFi data

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Antonin Danalet, Loïc Tinguely

Location-aware data collection technologies provide new insights about location choices. Only a few dynamic models of location choice exist in scientific literature. To our knowledge, none of them correct for serial correlation. In this paper, we model cho ...

Behaviorally Driven Train Timetable Design

Tomas Robenek

The focus of this thesis is to include the passengers and their behavior inside the train timetable design. This is done through three main objectives: timetable design based on passenger satisfaction, exploitation of hybrid cyclicity and choice based reve ...

A dynamic discrete-continuous choice model for forward-looking agents owning one or more vehicles

Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent

During the last 40 years, a large number of studies have analyzed car holding and use behavior. Most of these ignore the dynamics of household and driver needs that very likely drive such decisions. Our work builds up on a disaggregate (compensatory) appro ...

Using semi-open questions to integrate perceptions in choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum, Bilge Atasoy

This research investigates the measurement of perceptions by means of adjectives freely reported by respondents in semi-open questions. It involved the use of semi-open responses of 1'763 Swiss individuals to develop indicators for a latent variable repres ...

Integrating psychometric indicators in latent class choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González, Aurélie Glerum, My Hang Nguyen

Latent class models are a convenient and intuitive way to introduce taste heterogeneity in discrete choice models by relating attributes of the decision makers with unobserved behavioral classes, hence allowing for a more accurate market segmentation. Esti ...

A mixed random utility Random regret model linking the choice of decision rule to latent character traits

Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos

An increasing number of studies are concerned with the use of alternatives to random utility maximisation as a decision rule in choice models, with a particular emphasis on regret minimisation over the last few years. The initial focus was on revealing whi ...

Linking response quality to survey engagement: A combined random scale and latent variable approach

Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos

Recent interest in the topic of random scale heterogeneity in discrete choice data has led to the development of specialised tools such as the G-MNL model, as well as repeated claims that studies which fail to separate scale heterogeneity from heterogeneit ...

An empirical comparison of travel choice models that capture preferences for compromise alternatives

Michel Bierlaire

Compromise alternatives have an intermediate performance on each or most attributes rather than having a poor performance on some attributes and a strong performance on others. The relative popularity of compromise alternatives among decision-makers has be ...

Dual Representation Of Monotone Convex Functions On L-0

Gregor Svindland

We study monotone convex functions psi : L-0 (Omega, F, P) -> (-infinity, infinity] and derive a dual representation as well as conditions that ensure the existence of a sigma-additive subgradient. The results are motivated by applications in economic agen ...

A Behavioral and Neural Evaluation of Prospective Decision-Making under Risk

Making the best choice when faced with a chain of decisions requires a person to judge both anticipated outcomes and future actions. Although economic decision-making models account for both risk and reward in single-choice contexts, there is a dearth of s ...

The Neurobiological Foundations of Valuation in Human Decision Making under Uncertainty

This chapter focuses on valuation in the context of choice under uncertainty. When valuation is a pursuit distinct from choice, values revealed through choice may be different from the valuations that emerge from the (choice-independent) computations. In m ...

Is there a geometric module for spatial orientation? Insights from a rodent navigation model

Wulfram Gerstner, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Thomas Strösslin, Angelo Arleo

Modern psychological theories of spatial cognition postulate the existence of a geometric module for reorientation. This concept is derived from experimental data showing that in rectangular arenas with distinct landmarks in the corners, disoriented rats o ...

Neural Correlates of Value, Risk, and Risk Aversion Contributing to Decision Making under Risk

Decision making under risk is central to human behavior. Economic decision theory suggests that value, risk, and risk aversion influence choice behavior. Although previous studies identified neural correlates of decision parameters, the contribution of the ...

Methodology for the optimal thermo-economic, multi-objective design of thermochemical fuel production from biomass

François Maréchal, Martin Gassner

This paper addresses a methodology for the optimal conceptual design of thermochemical fuel production processes from biomass. A decomposed modelling approach with separate energy-flow, energy-integration and economic models are coupled with a multi-object ...

Normalization of network generalized extreme value models

Jeffrey Newman

Generalized extreme value (GEV) models provide a convenient way to model choice behavior that is consistent with utility maximization theory, but the development of specific new models within the GEV family has been slow, due to the difficulty of ensuring ...

Neural antecedents of financial decisions

To explain investing decisions, financial theorists invoke two opposing metrics: expected reward and risk. Recent advances in the spatial and temporal resolution of brain imaging techniques enable investigators to visualize changes in neural activation bef ...

Three essays on the acceptability of environmental policy in Switzerland

Nicholas Bornstein

The present thesis studies the acceptability of environmental policy in Switzerland. The first part of the thesis concentrates on citizens' demand for environmental quality at ballots. The analysis is guided by the public choice framework, which is rooted ...
