Methods for Analyzing Attribute-Level Best-Worst Discrete Choice Experiments
<p>Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) have applications in many areas such as social sciences, economics, transportation research, health systems, and clinical decisions to mention a few. Usually discrete choice models (DCMs) focus on predicting the product choice; however, these models do not …

Understanding and supporting pricing decisions using multicriteria decision analysis: an application to antique silver in South Africa
… (MACBETH and linear interpolation) and with discrete choice experiments. The applicability and advantages of each method is discussed. Additionally, an open source R package to implement the design of discrete choice experiments is created. The multi-attribute models provide key insights into …

Estimation of cumulative prospect theory-based passenger behavioral models for dynamic pricing & transactive control of shared mobility on demand
… survey was designed to estimate both the mode-choice and CPT models. The mode choice section consisted of a series of discrete choice experiments created via factorial design, while the CPT section involved carefully constructed lottery questions and travel choice scenarios to elicit risk …

Optimal Reduced Size Choice Sets with Overlapping Attributes
Discrete choice experiments are used when choice alternatives can be described in terms of attributes. The objective is to infer the value that respondents attach to attribute levels. Respondents are presented sets of profiles based on attributes specified at certain levels and asked to select the …

Does changing the way a discrete choice experiment (DCE) is presented to respondents affect results? An investigation in the context of health using between-subject designs
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are a popular stated preference technique used in health. A major challenge in health related DCEs is that they often involve terminology and concepts that may be unfamiliar to respondent. Therefore, it is important for DCEs to include explanations of the concepts …
