Modelling economic choice under radical uncertainty: machine learning approaches

Abstract: This paper utilises a novel experimental dataset on consumer choice to investigate and benchmark the performance of alternative statistical models under conditions of extreme uncertainty. We compare the results of logistic regression, discriminant analysis, naïve Bayes classifier, neural network, support vector machine (SVM), decision tree, and random forest (RF) to discover that the RF model robustly registers the highest classification accuracy. Variable importance analysis reveals that apart from demographi… Show more

“…Among the most popular regression algorithms in the field of machine learning that are applicable to this task are the neural network, the kNN algorithm, the random forest, and the support vector machine (for another application see e.g. Gerunov, 2019). Their predictive accuracy is compared with that of the linear regression in Table 3.…”
