Is it accepted to standardize covariates in a discrete
choice model in order to avoid multicollinearity.
(Standardizing here refers to mean-centering each
variable and then divide it by its standard
deviation).
I know that this will yield different estimates in the
non-linear case. But my question is, are there any
good reasons not to do it?
Thank you!
