Estimation Mode

DaySim can be run in estimation mode to produce an ALOGIT control and data file for estimating a DaySim sub-model. In order to run estimation mode, a set of DaySim formatted survey files is input. The files must be exactly the format expected by DaySim, see Input Data. Here are the key settings that need to be configured for estimation mode:

# general settings
HouseholdSamplingRateOneInX=1
HouseholdSamplingStartWithY=1
NProcessors=1
ShouldRunChoiceModels=true
ShouldRunHouseholdModels=true
ShouldRunPersonModels=true
ShouldRunPersonDayModels=true
ShouldRunTourModels=true
ShouldRunTourTripModels=true
ShouldRunSubtourModels=true
