    • Worked on a project related to extending the Random Utility Model to account for measurement error in choice data. I focused on the simulation of the statistics from the model and the proof of the equivalence of the model and the Axiom of ε-Revealed Stochastic Preference (ε-ARSP). Also, worked on a project related to finding a preference function whose maximizers are maintained when menu reduces. This is to characterize the case where if some alternatives are not chosen in the larger menu, then it is also not chosen in the smaller menu.
