Re: Interpreting efficiency measures

Dear Michiel

In your first response to my thread (question 5) you recommended me to ask two questions to get sufficient data from the experiment. I did that and got great results by using a combined choice variable (Rho-square increased by a factor of 10 compared to the first-choice only model). Is ...

Re: Interpreting efficiency measures

Thanks - I found one or two 32.x-33.x-33.x% values and wasn't sure about the interpretation, but most of the values are completely ok.

You are right about the forest attribute, I noticed my mistake the next day (working late is not always the best idea). The original forest priors are fine. The ...

Re: Interpreting efficiency measures

Dear Michiel,

Thanks a lot, your answers were very helpful.I have some following questions:

2. Actually I meant "maximum utility balance", sorry. As far as I know, a utility balance of ca. 70-90% would be ideal. The design I generated has a value of >95, so I was concerned that this would make it ...

Interpreting efficiency measures

Dear all,

I am creating an efficient MNL model based on the priors of a pilot study (orthogonal MNL):


;alts = scen1*, scen2*, none ? scen1* => * means alternative is generic!
;rows = 16 ?32
;block = 2 ?4
;eff = (mnl,wtp(wtp1))
;wtp = wtp1(*/b_cos)
;model:
U(scen1) =
b0[0.5] +
b_for[-0.00639 ...

Re: Evaluating and blocking existing designs

Hi John

Thanks for your help, now it works perfectly! I did use the right data format (without headers though), but did not uncheck "with column headers" in the session options. Beginner's mistake... :oops:

Cheers,
Andrea

Evaluating and blocking existing designs

Dear all,

I am trying to block an existing orthogonal design ( http://www2.research.att.com/~njas/oadir/oa.32.9.4.2.txt ) with Ngene. I deleted the 9th column of the existing design (I need only 2x4 attributes) and used the following syntax:

? This will block an orthogonal design with 32 choice ...
