In this paper, we proposed an efficient proposal distribution in the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm using the B-spline proposal Metropolis–Hastings algorithm. This new method can be extended to high-dimensional cases, such as the B-spline proposal in Gibbs sampling and in the Hit-and-Run...

This paper details an alternate methodology that permits the consumer decision process to be observed without the constraint of model phases or 'sets'. A new custom-developed computerised process tracing methodology is utilised, identifying the decision wave boundaries in a durable product...
