Learning outcomes/core skills:
After successful participation students will have a profound understanding of the following multivariate analysis methods: factor analysis, structural equation model, conjoint analysis (traditional, hybrid, adaptive and choice-based conjoint analysis) and discrete choice modelling. Furthermore, basic knowledge of test theory and matrix calculations is imparted. Students are able to choose appropriate procedures for marketing related problems and use them autonomously. Moreover, students can critically evaluate chosen methods with regard to its requirements and assumptions. Students have the ability to describe the methods underlying methodical and statistical ideas, interpret concrete results and derive recommendations for action. Additionally, they are able to apply their the theoretical knowledge practically using suitable statistics software.
