Development of Integrated Choice and Latent Variable (ICLV) Models Using Matrix-Based Analytic Approximation and Automatic Differentiation Methods on TensorFlow Platform by Jie Ma, Xin Ye, Kun Huang

“…The LDLT matrix-based analytic approximation methods, including Mendell and Elston (ME) method, bivariate ME (BME) method, and two-variate bivariate screening (TVBS) method, were adapted to calculate the multivariate cumulative normal distribution (MVNCD) function in the ICLV model because of the better performances in accuracy and computational time. Integrated with the composite marginal likelihood (CML) estimation approach, the ICLV model based on high-dimensional integration can be estimated accurately within a reasonable time. …”

Optimal Integrated Model for Feeder Transit Route Design and Frequency-Setting Problem with Stop Selection by Ming Wei, Tao Liu, Bo Sun, Binbin Jing

“…The main objective of the proposed model was to simultaneously minimize the total walking, riding time, and waiting time of all passengers. As this study explored an NP-hard problem, a two-stage genetic algorithm combining the Dijkstra search method was further developed to yield metaoptimal solutions to the model within an acceptable time. …”
