“…One of the major challenges in the field of social sciences is the understanding of error in human choice behavior (Luce, 1996). The probabilistic approach is often unsatisfying because it identifies error with randomness.…”

“…We link the mathematical machinery, the weighting and distance metrics that distinguish one summary statistic from another, to behavioral constructs. In doing so, we are following a tradition that has stressed the importance of substantive theory in resolving measurement problems (Anderson, 1979;Luce, 1996).…”

The averaging of scores differs from the averaging of numbers in that behavioral issues are built into scores. The behavioral issues are the weight attached to a score and the metric on which the scores have been gathered. A single equation is proposed, derived from Aczél's (1966) model of the quasilinear mean, that encompasses the standard measures of central tendency. The equation allows for differential weighting of scores and also addresses the metric issue by incorporating response transformation.

“…As a traditional consumer research method, the conjoint analysis approach has been widely used in the fields of marketing, transportation and health care, where it has been used to understand respondent preferences for products and services (e.g. Cattin and Wittink, 1982;Luce, 1996;Daniels and Hensher, 2000). Recently, the number of application of the conjoint analysis in environmental policy introduction and design has started to grow (e.g.…”
