Abstract [en]
Random choice theory has traditionally modeled choices over a -nite number of options. This thesis generalizes the literature by studyingthe limiting behavior of choice models as the number of optionsapproach a continuum.The thesis uses the theory of random elds, extreme value theoryand point processes to calculate this limiting behavior. For a numberof distributional assumptions, we can give analytic expressions forthe limiting probability distribution of the characteristics of the bestchoice. In addition, we also outline a straightforward extension to ourtheory which would signicantly relax the distributional assumptionsneeded to derive analytical results.Some examples from commuting research are discussed to illustratepotential applications of the theory.
