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 words of the Constitution ... are so unrestricted by their intrinsic meaning or by their history or by tradition or by prior decisions that they leave the individual Justice free, if indeed they do not compel him, to gather meaning not from reading the Constitution but from reading life.”
—Felix Frankfurter (1882–1965)
“Virtue is the adherence in action to the nature of things, and the nature of things makes it prevalent. It consists in a perpetual substitution of being for seeming, and with sublime propriety God is described as saying, I A—.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For the man who should loose me is dead,
Fighting with the Duke in Flanders,
In a pattern called a war.
Christ! What are patterns for?”
