This paper describe Iclogit, a Stata module to fit latent class logit models through the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. The stability of this estimation method allows overcoming some of the computational difficulties that normally arise when fitting such models with many latent classes....

Beverage consumption occurs many times a day in response to a variety of needs that change throughout the day. In making their choices, consumers self-regulate their consumption by managing short run needs (e.g., hydration and mood pickup) with long-term goals (e.g., health). Using unique...

In the last decade Markov-regime switching (MRS) models have been extensively used for modeling the unique behavior of spot prices in wholesale electricity markets. This popularity stems from the models’ relative parsimony and the ability to capture the stylized facts, in particular the mean...
