Discrete Choice Modeling and Conjoint Analysis

Discrete Choice Modeling and Conjoint Analysis

This course will teach you to design appropriate conjoint and choice studies using surveys, panels, designed experiments, be able to analyze and interpret the resulting data.

Overview

Complex sample designs such as stratified cluster sampling make it possible to extract maximum information at minimum cost, but they are typically harder to work with than simple random samples. How do you analyze the resulting data – in particular, how do you determine margins of error? This course teaches you how to estimate variances when analyzing survey data from complex samples, and also how to fit linear and logistic regression models to complex sample survey data.

Learning Outcomes

Students who complete this course will learn fundamental concepts of conjoint analysis. Topics include: designing conjoint and choice studies; conjoint analysis of rank data; and introduction to the multinomial logit model.

  • Design experiments to manipulate the appearance of attribute levels in product concepts.
  • Use the resulting data to infer how the product attribute levels drive preference or choice.
  • Fit a model to the data to predict how the market would choose among a set of competing product alternatives

Who Should Take This Course

Market researchers and consultants, analysts studying corporate strategy.

Additional Information

Homework

Homework in this course consists of short answer questions to test concepts and guided data analysis problems using software.

Guided data modeling problems using software

In addition to assigned readings, this course also has Discussion tasks, and an end of course data modeling project.

Course Text

The course text is Applied Choice Analysis: A Primer by David A. Hensher, John M. Rose and William H. Greene, published by Cambridge Press.
