TL;DR
An empirical assessment of the performance of mass point methods in the analysis of urban shopping behaviour, using short-term panel data from the Cardiff Consumer Panel is concluded.
Abstract
Longitudinal discrete choice models which use a mixing distribution to control for unobserved heterogeneity, and which are estimated by a nonparametric maximum likelihood mass point procedure, have so far been restricted to the analysis of dichotomous choices. This paper extends mass point methods to the case of polytomous choice problems and in so doing makes an important contribution to the analysis of longitudinal data and dynamic discrete choice models. The paper concludes with an empirical assessment of the performance of mass point methods in the analysis of urban shopping behaviour, using short-term panel data from the Cardiff Consumer Panel.

Calculations based on Swedish mortality data suggest that standard methods overestimate current life expectancy and potential gains in life expectancy from health and safety interventions, while underestimating rates of individual aging, past progress in reducing mortality, and mortality differentials between pairs of populations.

Consequences of the different distributions are examined; the inverse Gaussian makes the population homogeneous with time, whereas for the gamma the relative heterogeneity is constant.

An assessment of a non-parametric marginal maximum likelihood approach suggested by Laird is shown to be statistically valid for a plausible discrete-time model of the incidence of residential or migration moves, at least for data in which no household moves in every time period.

A model to represent dependency between multiple disease processes is presented and is designed to be estimated in the usual context of chronic disease information, i.e., a general lack of information about the time of disease incidence and progression.
