## 1 Introduction

Let an individual i have a choice set of size K, and let i's choices be discrete. The conditional indirect utility that i achieves if kÎ K is selected is
vik=Xikb +e ik
where Xik is an n-vector of attributes of choice k as perceived by indvidiual i, b is an n-element weighting vector, and e ik is a random variable. The individual chooses that alternative m whose conditional indirect utility is greatest (ie, maximizes utility). If the e ik are independent, identically distributed Type-1-Extreme-Value variates, then we have the alternative-m choice probability Pim given by

Pim | = | Pr [vim>vik,," k¹ m]
