Biogeme PDF documents
Various documents describing the usage of Biogeme are available here in PDF format:
In this document, we present step by step how to specify a simple model, estimate its parameters and interpret the output of the software package. We assume that the reader is already familiar with discrete choice models, and has successfully installed Python Biogeme. This document has been written using Python Biogeme 2.5, but should remain valid for future versions.

In this document, we investigate some aspects related to Monte-Carlo integration, which is particularly useful when estimating mixtures choice models, as well as choice models with latent variables. We assume that the reader is already familiar with discrete choice models, with PythonBiogeme, and with simulation methods, although a short summary is provided. This document has been written using PythonBiogeme 2.4, but should remain valid for future versions.

In this document, we present how to estimate choice models involving latent variables. We assume that the reader is already familiar with discrete choice models, with latent variables, and with PythonBiogeme. This document has been written using PythonBiogeme 2.5, but should remain valid for future versions.

In this document, we present step by step how to specify a simple model, estimate its parameters and interpret the output of the software package. We assume that the reader is already familiar with discrete choice models, and has successfully installed Bison Biogeme. This document has been written using Bison Biogeme 2.4, but should be valid for future versions, as no major release if foreseen.

In this document, we present the syntax of the modeling language of BisonBiogeme. This document is designed to be a reference. We strongly encourage the reader to first consult the primer, where the syntax of a first model is analyzed in details, as well as the many examples provided online. This document has been written using BisonBiogeme 2.4, but should be valid for future versions, as no major release if foreseen.
