You can find screenshots of the new version on our website, https://www.choice-metrics.com/, and you can register for a trial account here: https://ngene.choice-metrics.com.
The new version also contains a completely rewritten manual with many example scripts and a collection of tutorial videos.
In addition, we made it easier to write scripts with syntax highlighting, direct access to Syntax Help, and simpler ways to write syntax. An example script is shown below, where utility functions of unlabelled alternatives can now specified together and uninformative priors whereby only the preference order of the attribute levels is known can now be specified with a + or - symbol.
- Code: Select all
design
;alts = (hotel1, hotel2), neither
;rows = 9
;eff = (mnl,d)
;model:
U(hotel1, hotel2) = b1[-] * price[80,120,160]
+ b2.dummy[+] * stars[3,5,1]
+ b3[-] * dist[500,1500,2500],
+ i1 * price * stars.level[5] /
U(neither) = b0

We encourage you to try the new software. Note that scripts that you wrote in Ngene Desktop version 1.X will still run, Ngene Online is backwards compatible.
