Data frame of mixed logit log-likelihoods as the number of draws grows

Description

This data frame contains the converged log-likelihoods of the same preference space mixed logit model used in the runtimes and runtimes_draws benchmarks, estimated repeatedly at increasing numbers of random draws. At each draw count the model is estimated 10 times using randomized MLHS draws with a different seed each time, with every run starting from the same converged reference solution, so the across-seed spread in log-likelihood at a given draw count reflects simulation error: the noise in the simulated log-likelihood surface shifts the converged value, and at low draw counts it can distort the surface enough that runs converge to different local optima entirely. It is used to show that low draw counts produce unstable simulated log-likelihoods, which stabilize as the number of draws grows. It is generated by the script data-raw/runtimes.R in the package repository.
