ALOGIT is controlled by the Shell program, which
acts as an interface between the user, Windows and the ALOGIT program itself. The Shell’s main role is to edit ALOGIT control
files and to run ALOGIT. In these
functions it offers all the standard Windows operations with cut-and-paste
editing and its own Help system. The
Shell facilitates working with multiple models in a project. Additionally, it has further functions... -
the
capability to make Jack-knife runs
to explore the impact of model specification errors; -
a
coefficient comparison viewer, with a function allowing the user to
examine the difference in coefficient values between models; the Shell can also calculate correct errors in coefficient differences, allowing a statistical test of whether coefficients are different, and errors in coefficient ratios, so that error in (for example) willingness to pay can be calculated -
a
user friendly Windows based batch file program which can be activated
from the shell, allowing the user to perform multiple ALOGIT runs; -
the
integration of a reporting system, allowing the presentation of model
scenario output using tables and graphs. The Shell also controls the editing of ALOGIT INI
files, which control the way in which ALOGIT interacts with the PC: the use
of RAM, production of screen reports and the deletion of scratch files, for
instance. |
