Generalized robust conjoint estimation

We develop a framework within which robust models of preferences are computationally efficiently estimated using quadratic optimization methods. Within this framework general highly non-linear models can be computationally efficiently estimated while at the same time avoiding overfitting problems that such models typically have. We compare these models with standard logistic regression and rece...
