He has written and delivered numerous seminars on experimental design and analysis, presented and been published at international conferences and in research journals, and served on the organizing committee for the American Marketing Association’s Advanced Research Techniques Forum.

Discrete Choice Explained

StatDesign's primary business is the design and analysis of discrete choice experiments. Discrete choice is an approach used to understand, quantify, and predict consumer choice behavior in competitive markets. 

Our Approach

Based on a rigorous and well-tested theory of consumer choice behavior, known as random utility theory (McFadden 1974), the discrete choice methodology is derived from econometrics, cognitive psychology, and experimental design.
