CUSTOMER PREFERENCE ANALYSIS FROM ONLINE REVIEWS BY A 2-ADDITIVE CHOQUET INTEGRAL-BASED PREFERENCE DISAGGREGATION MODEL

Huchang Liao et al.

Summary: Online reviews are crucial for understanding consumer preferences and developing consumer-oriented marketing strategies. Existing studies have overlooked attribute interactions and incomplete attribute ratings. To fill this gap, a preference model based on the extended 2-additive Choquet integral is proposed, which accurately represents attribute importance and interactions. The model is validated using TripAdvisor.com data and proves effective in deducing consumer preferences and evaluating consumer behavior.

Scoring from pairwise winning indices

Sally Giuseppe Arcidiacono et al.

Summary: This paper presents a new scoring method that summarizes the results of pairwise winning indices by assigning a representative additive value to each alternative. The method allows for the disaggregation of the overall evaluation of each alternative and provides an explanation for its ranking position. A probabilistic model based on a piecewise linear approximation of the cumulative normal distribution is also introduced. The reliability of the procedure is demonstrated through extensive simulations, and its applicability is illustrated through a case study in financial fund evaluation.

Modeling Contingent Decision Behavior: A Bayesian Nonparametric Preference-Learning Approach

Jiapeng Liu et al.

Summary: We propose a preference-learning algorithm that uncovers Decision Makers' (DMs') contingent evaluation strategies in multiple criteria sorting. Our method uses holistic assignment examples derived from the analysis of performance vectors and textual descriptions. Using a mixture of threshold-based, value-driven preference models and latent topics, we construct a probabilistic model. The method automatically identifies components representing the evaluation strategies of all DMs.

Preference disaggregation method for value-based multi-decision sorting problems with a real-world application in nanotechnology

Milosz Kadzinski et al.

Summary: The paper addresses a problem of multi-decision sorting subject to multiple criteria and presents a new method for dealing with such a problem, including a threshold-based value-driven sorting procedure and constructing interrelated preference models. The practical usefulness of the approach is demonstrated through a case study on risk management related to nanomaterials, highlighting the inferred preference models that can support health and safety managers in reducing associated risks.

Robust stochastic sorting with interacting criteria hierarchically structured

Sally Giuseppe Arcidiacono et al.

Summary: The paper proposes a multiple criteria decision aiding method for sorting problems with hierarchical criteria, using the Choquet integral and Multiple Criteria Hierarchy Process. Robustness concerns are addressed using Robust Ordinal Regression and Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis to provide recommendations on sorting problems. The method's applicability is demonstrated through an example evaluating European countries based on economic, governmental, and financial data.
