Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of the study is to improve the methods by which stated preference experiments are designed in order to allow better estimates to be obtained. This covers a number of issues.- More detailed analysis of SERC funded PhD research at ITS to show the efficiency gains to be achieved by following improved design procedures in the case of a three variable model.- Extension of the analysis to develop improved design procedures for the more general cases involving more than three attributes.- Analysis of the extent to which non-orthogonal designs can improve the efficiency of estimates; in particular, determining the extent to which correlation between attributes can improve the variance of target relative valuations (ratios of co-efficients) for models more general than the two-attribute plus constant case.- Solving design problems specific to the priority evaluator technique.- An examination of the possibilities of avoiding the design problem by alternative methods of analysis of SP choice data.
