TorchDCM package offers faster discrete choice modeling with PyTorch

Researchers have developed TorchDCM, a new open-source Python package designed to streamline discrete choice modeling (DCM) using PyTorch. This package aims to bridge the gap between traditional econometric workflows and scalable, differentiable computation, particularly for large and simulation-intensive models. TorchDCM offers comprehensive econometric functionality, supports various likelihoods and model specifications, and demonstrates significant speed improvements over existing software, especially when utilizing CUDA devices.
