This study assessed the accuracy of mixed logit (MXL), latent class logit (LCL), and latent class mixed logit (LCML) models in identifying preference-based segments in a world with different levels of preference heterogeneity. Over the past few decades, LCL has become one of the most popular segmentation techniques for capturing this type of heterogeneity. By contrast, MXL has rarely been used to identify segments, whereas LCML has recently received increasing attention.
