The authors propose a new Bayesian latent structure regression model with variable selection to solve various commonly encountered marketing problems related to market segmentation and heterogeneity. The proposed procedure simultaneously performs segmentation and regression analysis within the...

Kim, Fong, and DeSarbo (2012) recently introduced a finite mixture Bayesian regression model to simultaneously identify market segments of consumers (heterogeneity) and determine how such segments differ with respect to active regression coefficients (variable selection). The current manuscript...

The dissertation is composed of three separate essays. The first essay critically reviews the current status of strategic human resource management (SHRM) research. I argue that the research to date in this field is built upon several assumptions whose validity may not endure beyond the borders...

Over the last decade, Chinese authorities have pressed foreign multinational companies to recognize official trade unions. Employing cross-classified multilevel modeling on a large data set (10,108 foreign-owned firms cross-embedded in 32 home countries and 755 Chinese cities), this study...

Here we present a novel numerical method by exploiting periodicity to analyze a real-scale reverse electrodialysis (RED), including an unlimited number of microstructures and electrode segmentations. Flow and current distributions are calculated for a unit cell with on-demand adjustment of...

Erstwhile, displays using down-converting color changing medium utilized color filters as an essential part of clarifying the trade-off between true colors and transmittance. In this study, we report the development of a novel, smart process for producing thin luminescent films that completely...

Two recently developed probabilistic multidimensional models for analyzing pairwise choice data are introduced, discussed in terms of their differential properties, and extended in several ways. The first one, the wandering vector model, was originally suggested by Carroll [12] and extended by...
