title = "A hybrid choice model with nonlinear utility functions and bounded distributions for latent variables: Application to purchase intention decisions of electric cars",
abstract = "This study suggests an extended hybrid choice model framework allowing nonlinear utility functions of choice alternatives including not only observable but also latent variables. The nonlinear utility function is developed based on the Box-Cox transformation. For satisfying the constraint of the Box-Cox transformation and being consistent with the bounded nature of the measurement of the indicators, we suggest using bounded distributions for the latent variables, such as the doubly censored normal distribution and Johnson's SB distribution. An empirical study is conducted using stated choice data about the intention to purchase electric cars. The empirical results show that the proposed framework can enhance the explanatory power of hybrid choice models compared to the model allowing only a linear specification.",
