Optimal approximate choice designs for a two-step coffee choice, taste and choice again experiment
This work deals with consumers' preferences about coffee. Firstly, a choice experiment is performed on a sample of potential consumers. Following this, a sensory test involving the tasting of two varieties of coffee is carried out with the respondents, after which the same choice experiment is supplied to them again. An innovative approach for building heterogeneous choice designs is specifically developed for the case-study, based on approximate design theory and compound design criterion. Panel Mixed Logit models are used, thereby allowing for the inclusion of correlation among consumers' responses; choice-sets are supplied to a proportion of respondents according to optimal weights. The estimation results of the Panel Mixed Logit model are satisfactory, confirming the validity of the proposed approach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C (Applied Statistics) is a journal of international repute for statisticians both inside and outside the academic world. The journal is concerned with papers which deal with novel solutions to real life statistical problems by adapting or developing methodology, or by demonstrating the proper application of new or existing statistical methods to them. At their heart therefore the papers in the journal are motivated by examples and statistical data of all kinds. The subject-matter covers the whole range of inter-disciplinary fields, e.g. applications in agriculture, genetics, industry, medicine and the physical sciences, and papers on design issues (e.g. in relation to experiments, surveys or observational studies).
A deep understanding of statistical methodology is not necessary to appreciate the content. Although papers describing developments in statistical computing driven by practical examples are within its scope, the journal is not concerned with simply numerical illustrations or simulation studies. The emphasis of Series C is on case-studies of statistical analyses in practice.
