This paper considers mixed, or random coefficients, multinomial logit (MMNL) models for discrete response, and establishes the following results. Under mild regularity conditions, any discrete choice model derived from random utility maximization has choice probabilities that can be approximated

Voronoi cells and the mixed Finite-Element/FiniteVolume method, and compare them to existing formulations. Building upon previous work in discrete geometry, these new operators are closely related to the continuous case, guaranteeing an appropriate extension from the continuous to the discrete setting

and implementation of mixed-method evaluations. In this study, a mixed-method conceptual framework was developed from the theoretical literature and then refined through an analysis of 57 empirical mixed-method evaluations. Five purposes for mixed-method evaluations are identified in this conceptual framework

Changes have been made to the provision of post-secondary education in Australia with little evident reflection as to the merit of the existing public universities or the nature of public education. This paper sets out some notes for the discussion that should be happening. It then lists some possible scenarios for change into the next couple of decades and draws attention to some of the implications of these changes for the Australian public universities and the preservation of public higher education. It is the author’s hope that the changes that do occur will be governed by consideration of the nature of higher education as a public good and of the effect of the curriculum on education as a public good.

flexible means to properly account for variability both across and within genes. The mixed model also provides a convenient framework for evaluating the statistical power of any particular experimental design and thus enables a researcher to a priori select an appropriate number of replicates. We also

This paper discusses the appropriate policy mix for China in the post crisis period. As is well known, China has achieved a remarkable economic growth rate over the last 30 years using an export-led growth strategy. To implement this strategy, the Chinese authorities have pegged their currency

A scheme is presented for modelling and local computation of exact probabilities, means and variances for mixed qualitative and quantitative variables. The models assume that the conditional distribution of the quantitative variables, given the qualitative, is multivariate Gaussian

coming from each category. We discuss the appropriateness of the model for the PNAS database as

unfolding. Then a seamless globally smooth parametrization is computed whose iso-parameter lines follow the cross field directions. In contrast to previous methods, sparsely distributed directional constraints are sufficient to automatically determine the appropriate number, type and position
