abstractThis article describes the {\tt mixrandregret} command, which extends the {\tt randregret} command introduced in gutierrez2021randregret (gutierrez2021randregret, The Stata Journal 21: 626–658) incorporating random coefficients for Random Regret Minimization models. The newly developed command {\tt mixrandregret} allows the inclusion of random coefficients in the regret function of the classical RRM model introduced in chorus2010new (chorus2010new, European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research 10: 181-196). The command allows the user to specify a combination of fixed and random coefficients. In addition, the user can specify normal and log-normal distributions for the random coefficients using the commands’ options. The models are fitted using simulated maximum likelihood using numerical integration to approximate the choice probabilities.
