Overview
What you will study
By examining actual case studies of discrete choice methods students will be familiarized with problems of data collection, model formulation, testing, and forecasting and will gain hands-on application experience by using readily available software to estimate and test discrete choice models from real databases. The Discrete Choice Analysis - Predicting Individual Behavior and Market Demand program offered by University of Lausanne will emphasize applications of discrete choice methods to strategic and tactical marketing and to policy-related problems.
Examples of applications include:
- predicting demand for a new product under alternative pricing strategies
- designing a business plan for a new technology
- analyzing the impact of a merger on market shares
- forecasting the ridership on a new metropolitan transit service
- analyzing competitive scenarios for introducing a new telecommunication service.
To accomplish these tasks, discrete choice analysis provides powerful methodological tools. Based on the modeling of individual behavior, it is used to model in detail the structure of a market, and to predict the impact of various scenarios.
