Abstract

A generalization of the multinomial logit (MNL) model is developed for cases where discrete alternatives are ordered, by allowing stochastic correlation among alternatives in close proximity. The model belongs to the Generalized Extreme Value class and is therefore consistent with random utility maximization. An extension can handle cases where observations have been selected from a truncated choice set. A two-stage procedure using MNL computer software provides a specification test for MNL against the proposed model. Two empirical applications are briefly described.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
