Modeling Consumer Decision Making and Discrete Choice Behavior

Statistical Modeling Week 2010 will take place in Boston on October 18 - 22, 2010.  This year Professor Jordan Louviere and Dr Terry Flynn will be presenting a course in Modeling Consumer Decision Making and Discrete Choice Behaviour on October 21-22.

This workshop covers a wide array of related topics in the design of discrete choice experiments (DCEs), the analysis of data collected from these experiments and recent extensions of the theory of Best-Worst Scaling (BWS). The emphasis is on breadth, with sufficient depth provided to allow participants to learn the basics and learn how to further their understanding. Hands-on examples are provided and used as a basis for teaching basics, allowing participants to understand not just conceptual ideas, but also the mechanics of implementing the ideas in practical settings of interest to academics and practitioners. The workshop deals with design and implementation of DCEs and BWS surveys.

It covers design approaches, statistical models for analyzing data and developing predictive models, limitations and unresolved issues. It discusses good and bad practices, myths and evidence. The emphasis is on the science and associated empirical evidence, not opinion, anecdotes, "experiences" and the like.
