Heterogeneity in passenger satisfaction with air-rail integration services: Results of a finite mixture partial least squares model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Air-rail integration services (ARIS) are a promising solution for intermodal travel, but they also offer challenges such as trip complexity and uncertainty that may negatively impact passenger satisfaction. This paper addresses the quality evaluation of ARIS with twofold purpose, specifically, (1) to explore causal relationships between psychological behavioral variables passengers (2) identify different groups precise service improvements. The among expectations, perceived quality, value, satisfaction, complaints loyalty hypothesized analyzed by using satisfaction index (PSI) model based on representative sample 1,345 at Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport (SJW). Next, finite mixture partial least squares (FIMIX-PLS) technique is applied heterogeneity. results suggest value expectations have positive effect which, in turn, influences complaints. Moreover, three segments found, namely, “perceived expectation-oriented passengers”, quality-oriented “satisfied loyal-conscious passengers”. Interestingly, an overall similarity observed importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) method. Nevertheless, some noticeable differences psychological-behavioral identified. Finally, managerial implications discussed.

Explaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...

When applying multivariate analysis techniques in information systems and social science disciplines, such as management information systems (MIS) and marketing, the assumption that the empirical data originate from a single homogeneous population is often unrealistic. When applying a causal modeling approach, such as partial least squares (PLS) path modeling, segmentation is a key issue in cop...

متن کاملModel selection for partial least squares regression
Partial least squares (PLS) regression is a powerful and frequently applied technique in multivariate statistical process control when the process variables are highly correlated. Selection of the number of latent variables to build a representative model is an important issue. A metric frequently used by chemometricians for the determination of the number of latent variables is that of Wold’s ...
