We propose to estimate the parameters of the Market Share Attraction Model (Cooper and Nakanishi, 1988; Fok and Franses, 2004) in a novel way by using a nonparametric technique for function estimation called Support Vector Regressions (SVR) (Smola, 1996; Vapnik, 1995). Traditionally, the parameters of...

To assess the attitudes with respect to the quality of banks’ service levels, we use survey data amongst more than 250 Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) of a range of Netherlands-based companies. These companies range from small to very large (including multinationals as Philips and Shell)...
