Subjective Ranking Algorithms: Modeling Customer’s Experience


Subjective Ranking Algorithms: Modeling Customer’s Experience

There are have been many challenges posted by continuous explosive availability of computers and the internet in terms of humans’ interacting with information:

1.       The excess amount of information has made a difficult and time consuming task the end users processing and filtering through the available information to find what the users are looking for.

 

2.       For information suppliers such as advertisers, the above challenge becomes how to understand and model the algorithms and process behind the end users’ search for information? The end users would always like to receive the most likely results to satisfy their query first and in a highlighted format as well.

 

3.       Conjoint analysis ( originated in mathematical psychology and was developed by marketing professor Paul Green at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Data Chan in 1070’s, s (Carroll & Green, 1995), (Green & Srinivasan, 1978), (Green & Srinivasan, 1990))  try to understand and model customer experience with a controlled  experimental design and statistical analysis:    experimentally controlled combinations of attribute levels called profiles are presented to respondents for evaluation (ratings or rankings).  In a multiple regression analysis these evaluations then become the dependent variables predicted as a function of the experimental design variables manifested in the profiles.

 

4.       While conjoint analysis data are more of “forward looking” compared to traditional linear regression analysis of “historical” data, its controlled format isolates and ignores the real time and real life streaming feature of  data end users in actual environment.

8.       when the users search for structured, multi‐attribute products, documents or other artifacts of information.   When the user searches for the ideal multi‐attribute product, like a car configuration, a restaurant with ratings, an LCD screen or other electronics, with multiple specifications, and other complex purchasing decisions, where price is not the only driving factor, the users expect to receive the candidate products in the order of their preference.   Also, when a user reads through a long article on their smart phone, they prefer to read a summary in the smaller screen, rather than a long multi‐page article.    When the user expects to read a summarized article, they again expect to receive the important information to them first.   There are many similar problems such as these ones, where the information overload problem can be alleviated with intelligent ranking algorithms, so that the human user gets to the right information first.

A User's Guide to Conjoint Analysis Before starting out, you need to know where the land mines are. Executive Summary Conjoint analysis is the most powerful and important family of analytic techniques in marketing research. But it’s only the best method if you do it right. Conjoint techniques tend to be complex, which means there are more ways than ever to make mistakes. Learning about the possible pitfalls of conjoint analysis - a
