While conjoint analysis has been applied to a wide variety of problems in preference analysis, it has heretofore not been used to analyze similarities data. A method for dealing with this problem is described and illustrated on a small set of empirical data

Choice-constrained conjoint analysis (CCCA) is a new method for metric conjoint analysis studies. It computes part-worth utility functions that account for “revealed preference” — those products a respondent actually selects in an independent choice situation. CCCA uses an iterative...

A simple allocation model is developed in which response is assumed to be linear in the logs of the control variables. It is then shown that the optimal allocation of a fixed total resource is proportional to the partial regression weights when the linear-in-logs model is fitted by least...

Increasingly, researchers are becoming interested in the relationship of part-worth functions, obtained from conjoint analysis, to other aspects of the respondents (e.g., their demographics, preferences for current brands, etc.). This paper describes a straight-forward procedure for determining...
