Application and Test of Web-based Adaptive Polyhedral Conjoint Analysis

In response to the need for more rapid and iterative feedback on customer preferences, researchers are developing new web-based conjoint analysis methods that adapt the design of conjoint questions based on a respondent’s answers to previous questions. Adapting within a respondent is a difficult dynamic optimization problem and until recently adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA) was the dominant me...

Ellipsoidal Methods for Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis

Questionnaires for adaptive choice-based conjoint analysis aim at minimizing some measure of the uncertainty associated with preference parameters (e.g. partworths). Bayesian approaches to conjoint analysis quantify this uncertainty with a multivariate distribution that is updated after the respondent answers. Unfortunately, this update requires multidimensional integration, which effectively r...

New Approaches to Idea Generation and Consumer Input in the Product Develop - ment Process

This thesis consists of five related essays which explore new approaches to help design successful and profitable new products. The primary focus is the front end of the process where the product development team is seeking improved input from customers and improved ideas for developing products based on that input. Essay 1 examines whether carefully tailored ideation incentives can improve cre...

Probabilistic Polyhedral Methods for Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis: Theory and Application

P methods for choice-based conjoint analysis provide a means to adapt choice-based questions at the individual-respondent level and provide an alternative means to estimate partworths when there are relatively few questions per respondent, as in a Web-based questionnaire. However, these methods are deterministic and are susceptible to the propagation of response errors. They also assume, implic...

Fast Polyhedral Adaptive Conjoint Estimation

We propose and test new adaptive question design and estimation algorithms for partialprofile conjoint analysis. Polyhedral question design focuses questions to reduce a feasible set of parameters as rapidly as possible. Analytic center estimation uses a centrality criterion based on consistency with respondents’ answers. Both algorithms run with no noticeable delay between questions. We evalua...

Adaptive Hybrid Methods for Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis: A Comparative Study

Adaptive choice-based conjoint analysis (ACBC) and hybrid individualized two-level choice-based conjoint analysis (HIT-CBC) were developed to improve standard choice-based conjoint analysis through additional interviewing techniques. Both methods have demonstrated their applicability in comparison to standard choice-based conjoint methods. The objective of our study was a direct comparison of t...
