Abstract
A choice model, in general, is an operational form of a choice theory. As such, it serves several purposes:
-
a.
It enables testing the theory by, 1. identifying which variables contribute significantly to an explanation of observed behavior, and 2. determining the form of the relationship between behavior and explanatory variables.
-
b.
It enables to estimate behavioral parameters (e.g. value of time).
-
c.
It enables to predict behavior; how will travelers behave in certain situations.
