This study introduces a MATLAB function for analyzing paired-comparison data using Tversky's generalized models, offering an easier alternative to the standard Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model for complex choice situations.

Area of Science:

  • Decision Science
  • Psychology
  • Statistics

Background:

  • The Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model is a standard for paired-comparison data analysis.
  • Tversky (1972) proposed generalized models that overcome limitations of the BTL model.
  • Analyzing complex choice data often requires models beyond the basic BTL framework.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a user-friendly MATLAB function for probabilistic choice models.
  • To facilitate the application of Tversky's generalized models (EBA, Pretree, BTL) to paired-comparison data.
  • To simplify parameter estimation for these advanced choice models.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a MATLAB function for specifying and estimating parameters of generalized paired-comparison models.
  • Implementation of algorithms to automate likelihood function construction.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Illustration of the function's utility with multiple real-world examples.

    • Main Results:

    • The MATLAB function successfully simplifies the specification and estimation of Tversky's generalized models.
    • The program eliminates the need for manual likelihood function derivation for each model.
    • Demonstrated ease of use and applicability across various paired-comparison datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed MATLAB tool enhances the accessibility and application of advanced probabilistic choice models.
    • Researchers can now more efficiently analyze paired-comparison data using generalized models.
    • Facilitates deeper insights into decision-making processes through flexible modeling.
