Estimating a semiparametric additive model for discrete choice data using backfitting algorithm

Abstract (Discrete choice models are estimated with the assumption of existence of a link function. To relax this assumption, a semiparametric additive model of the utility function proposed. Quasi likelihood estimation is embedded into the backfitting algorithm and used in estimating the utility fu...
