Choices Class

Choices is an abstract class for selecting choices according to given probabilities in the discrete choice modeling framework. Opus package opus_core supports two classes in this category. random_choices returns an index of randomly selected choices, one per observation. The number of alternatives is simply derived from the second dimension of the array of probabilities, which is passed as argument to the run() method. random_choices_from_index allows one to define an index array whose elements are returned as the selected choices. This index array should be contained in the argument resources (dictionary) as an entry index. This can be useful for example if we are not dealing with the whole set of alternatives, but rather with a subsampled set.
