Elasticities and Value of Time

[Lorenzo Muñoz]

Hello prof. Bierlaire, I have a few questions regarding the b01logit_simul.py code. 

The outputs of elasticities are reported as a percentage or as a number between 0 and 1? The reason I'm asking is because I keep getting big values for the elasticity of travel time (over -7), so that seems strange.

Also, is there a template of a code in which I can obtain the elasticities and value of time disaggregated by user? Instead of getting mean and quartiles? I have seen your work in Fernández-Antolin et al. and you report boxplots of these results differentiated by user, that's why I ask if it's available somewhere.

Many thanks in advance!

Elasticities are not restricted to be between 0 and 1.
