A design strategy for improving adaptive conjoint analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA) is a market research methodology for measuring utility in business-tobusiness and customer studies. Based on partial profiles, ACA tailors an experiment’s design to each respondent depending on their previously stated preferences, ordered in a self-assessment questionnaire. The aim of this paper is to describe advantages and disadvantages of using a partial-profile randomised experiment, the usual system, and to propose a new design strategy for arranging profiles in blocks that improve its performance.

Investigation of Customer Priorities for Machine Made Carpet Through Conjoint and Cluster Analysis (Case Study in Yazd, Iran)
The machine made carpet industry is one of the main and most famous industries in Iran and especially in the city of Yazd. However there is little information about customer preferences for different attributes of this product. In this article we tried to estimate the relative importance of the main attributes affecting customer desire for purchasing machine made carpet and the utility values f...
متن کاملAdaptive Voltage-based Control of Direct-drive Robots Driven by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...
متن کاملApplication 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...
متن کاملFast 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...
