This paper describes and implements three computationally attractive procedures for nonparametric estimation of mixing distributions in discrete choice models. The procedures are specic types of the well known EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm based on three dierent ways of approximating...

In this paper we propose a Pyramidal Classification Algorithm, which together with an appropriate aggregation index produces an indexed pseudo-hierarchy (in the strict sense) without inversions nor crossings. The computer implementation of the algorithm makes it possible to carry out some...
