Outline of Final Research Achievements	I conducted the research on the nonparametric Bayesian approach to the discrete/continuous choice model. I have developed a statistical model and its estimation method for a simple case. However, in analyzing the practical dataset, I found the component that reduces the number of choices is not appropriate for the dataset to be used. Thus, I modified the model, so that the resulting statistical model is appropriate for the dataset as well as reduces the number of choices.
