Research
Research interests
The general area of my research is in the construction of designed experiments.
Most of my research has been motivated by design questions that arise from practical problems. I have developed optimal designs for repeated measurements (changeover) designs, incomplete factorial designs in which all main effects can be estimated and I have designed designs for training dispute resolution councillors. My most recent work has been the construction of optimal and small (near-)optimal discrete choice experiments (DCEs).
DCEs are used extensively in marketing, transportation research, environmental economics and health economics. Dr Leonie Burgess and I have developed constructions for optimal designs for the multinomial logit (MNL) model for estimation of main effects for situations in which the attributes may have any number of levels and the choice sets may be of any size. We have derived the determinant of the information matrix for the estimation of main effects and two-factor interactions and we have tables of optimal designs for some combinations of attribute levels for various choice set sizes. We have developed a heuristic which produces small near-optimal designs when the optimal designs are unmanageably large. Our research monograph with these results was published by Wiley.
