Discrete Choice Analysis: Predicting Individual Behavior and Market Demand
Predict Market Demand: MIT's Discrete Choice Analysis Course
People make choices every single day. Behind every market shift, policy decision, and demand forecast lies a complex pattern of individual behavior. MIT's Discrete Choice Analysis: Predicting Individual Behavior and Market Demand course, running from June 22–26, 2026, gives you the tools to understand and forecast human decisions.
Led by Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva, one of the foremost authorities on the subject, this course takes you far beyond basic concepts. You will transition from foundational theory to advanced methods that organizations actively apply across industries right now.
We know that theory alone is not enough. That is why we pair interactive lectures with hands-on software labs. By working through real-world datasets, you will leave with practical, applicable experience rather than just abstract frameworks.
