Unrestricted Substitution Patterns
The mixed logit model can represent general substitution pattern because it does not exhibit logit's restrictive independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) property. The percentage change in the probability for one alternative given a percentage change in the mth attribute of another alternative is
where β m is the mth element of . It can be seen from this formula that "A ten-percent reduction for one alternative need not imply (as with logit) a ten-percent reduction in each other alternative." The relative percentages depend on correlation between the likelihood that respondent n will choose alternative i, L ni, and the likelihood that respondent n will choose alternative j, L nj, over various draws of β.

Famous quotes containing the words unrestricted, substitution and/or patterns:
“The unrestricted competition so commonly advocated does not leave us the survival of the fittest. The unscrupulous succeed best in accumulating wealth.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
