A General Procedure for Estimating Consumer Preference Distributions
This article provides a general procedure for estimating consumer preference distributions without having to prespecify their forms. Using linear programming, it minimizes the sum of absolute errors between observed and predicted…

New Product Distribution: An Analysis of Supermarket Buyer Decisions
This article explores the relationship between 18 variables and a supermarket buyer’s decision to accept or reject a new product. One hundred twenty-four new products are analyzed by multiple discriminant analysis and a hierarchical threshold…
New Tools for Teaching Marketing: Computer and Model Assisted Cases
Teaching Notes for Cases in Computer and Model Assisted Marketing: Data Analysis, Technical Report No. 45

Cases in Computer and Model Assisted Marketing: Vol. 2 Data Analysis
The second in the series of Cases in Computer and Model Assisted Marketing. These two volumes reflect one of the earliest, if not the earliest publication of such marketing cases.
Actor-observer Differences in Perceptions of Effective Control
Explored perceptual differences between active and passive observers in a conflict situation with 40 female undergraduates as Ss. Results indicate that observers who were engaged in interaction with the actor attributed more behavioral…
Algorithms for Minimizing Total Cost, Bottleneck Time and Bottleneck Shipment in Transportation Problems
We consider the transportation problem of determining nonnegative shipments from a set of m warehouses with given availabilities to a set of n markets with given requirements. Three objectives are defined for each solution: (i) total cost TC (ii…
Amount of Information as a Determinant of Consumer Behavior Towards New Products
Consumer behavior towards a new product, the Gillette TRAC II twin blade razor, was studied at the time of its product introduction, as a function of two levels of information regarding the new product. It was found that the proportion of…
An Alternate Interpretation of the Linear Learning Model of Brand Choice
An Exponential Smoothing Model (ESM) of brand choice is presented which possesses a mathematical structure very similar to that of the Linear Learning Model (LLM) of brand choice. While the LLM, is posited on adaptive learning (purchase event…
An Empirical Study of Financial Judgment Models: An Individual and Group Analysis
Abstract not available.
An Experiment in Computing the Expected Discounted Return in a Finite Markov Chain
An experiment with a certain transformation, leading to a new iterative method, was carried out with the intent of speeding the computation of the infinite horizon expected discounted return in a finite Markov chain. At first the method seemed…
An Experimental Study of the Judgment Element in Disclosure Decisions
Abstract not available.
Analysis of Implied Risk-Taking Behavior Under a Goal-Based Incentive Scheme
The purpose of this paper is an analysis of how an incentive scheme and the subordinates risk preference interact to determine the implied risk preference criterion which are essentially used in arriving at a decision under uncertainty in a…
Analysis of Linear Programs By Sequential Projection
We apply what we call sequential projection to reformulate a block triangular linear program as a recursive optimization problem. We approximate the return function at each stage of the recursion by using either inner or outer linearization, and…
