Efficient Paired Comparison Designs for Utility Elicitation
Abstract:
In applications often data are available from the comparison of
two alternatives rather than the direct valuation of a single
object on its own. Experiments have to be designed for these
paired comparisons in a different way than for standard
situations. In this note we deal with a problem arising from
organizational psychology and present an application of design
considerations to the estimation of utility functions.
Keywords:
paired comparisons, D-optimal design, utility function
