Optimal sequential strategy to improve the precision of the estimators in a discrete choice experiment: A simulation study

Abstract

In order to solve the problems related to prior parameter misspecification in DCEs, Bliemer and Rose (2010) proposed a sequential approach where the design is updated after each respondent. This paper tries to find a more efficient alternative sequential method since the original proposal could be very time-consuming and expensive under some circumstances.
