47 Study 3: Motivation Polyhedral Approaches for Conjoint Analysis (Toubia et al. Marketing Science, 2003). Question sequence & Estimation of partworth utilities Key idea: Represent feasible values of partworths as a bounded polyhedron. Reduce polyhedron rapidly with optimal questions. Center of polyhedron is the partworth estimate. However, response errors (i.e., responses that lead to infeasible regions) are treated in a theoretically appealing manner. Our aim: Extend polyhedral method to incorporate response error using a well-defined probability model. 6/11/
48 Study 3:FASTPACE: Two-attribute Laptop Example Partworth for Size β Bounded Polyhedron Partworth for Price β 1 6/11/
49 Study 3: FASTPACE example cont d Ask respondent: How much do you prefer product 1 over product 2? Description of Product 1 Description of Product 2 Attribute Product 1 Product 2 Price $ 91 $ 70 Size Large Medium 6/11/
50 Study 3: FASTPACE example cont d Set least desirable level of attributes to 0. Each response results in a reduction of the dimensionality of the polyhedron. Partworth for Size 0 Partworth for Price β 1 β 2 = a Partworth estimate 6/11/
51 Study 3: FASTPACE example cont d Ask another question and refine our estimates. Partworth for Size Partworth estimate 0 Partworth for Price 6/11/
52 Study 3: FASTPACE Example cont d Response error is allowed only when inconsistent responses are detected. Allow for error Partworth for Size Partworth for Size 0 Partworth for Price 0 Partworth for Price 6/11/
53 Study 3: Extending FASTPACE Partworth for Size Incorporate response error within FASTPACE framework using a general probability model. 0 Feasible space is a line without error Partworth for Price Partworth for Size 0 Feasible space is an area if errors are allowed. a + δσ a δσ Partworth for Price 6/11/
54 Study 3: Extending FASTPACE After next question, the space shrinks further. Procedure ensures that there is always some probability mass in the feasible region. Feasible space after 2 questions Partworth for Size 0 Partworth for Price 6/11/
55 Study 3: Extending FASTPACE Enhanced HB Regression Framework a i ~ 2 N( X β, σ ) I( X β δσ 1 < a < Xβ + δσ 1) i i i i i i Partworth for Size 0 Xβ i + δσ Partworth for Price Xβ i δσ X β i i 6/11/
56 Study 3: Extending FASTPACE Probability Model for the parameters i β ~ N( β, Σ ) I( β 0) I( β 100) i i σ 2 ~ IG( shape, scale) Assume prior distributions for β ~ N(.,.), Σ ~ IW (.,.) 6/11/
57 Study 3: Preliminary Results Initial test of model done using laptop bag study of Toubia et al (2003). Details: 88 respondents. Respondent answered self-explicated questions followed by 20 paired comparison questions. Each paired comparison question had product descriptions consisting of 3 attributes that were chosen from 10 attributes. Each attribute had 2 levels. Hold-out task: Respondents rank-ordered 5 bags (selected randomly out of 16 available bags). Goal of test: To examine how well FASTPACE and our model predict the ranking of the bags. 6/11/
58 Study 3: Preliminary Results cont d Preliminary results show that our model performs on par with FASTPACE on holdout task (their laptop bags data). Our rank order correlation with actual choice: 0.68 FASTPACE rank order correlation: 0.68 Their Sawtooth software HB model s rank order correlation: /11/
59 Study 3: Current Research Underway Implement question design FASTPACE based on structure of polyhedron. Our approach: Based on probability model. Fully nest FASTPACE within our HB model Currently, FASTPACE is conceptually nested within our model. However, operationally, FASTPACE uses min-max criteria whereas we use min sum of squared errors criteria (i.e., OLS-type minimization). Develop implementation techniques for question sequencing and estimation in real-time web environments. 6/11/
60 Study 3: Conclusion We extend FASTPACE by incorporating response errors in a theoretically appealing manner. With test data (and without full nesting of FASTPACE within our approach), HB does as well as FASTPACE. Further research in progress to establish domains of applicability of our HB model (especially with reference to FASTPACE). 6/11/
