Greedoid-Based Non-compensatory Consideration-then-Choice Inference

We wish to thank Ashvini Thammaiah who assisted in the development and pretesting of the web-based questionnaire. The study benefited from comments by numerous pretests at the MIT Operations Research Center and the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority at MIT. SmartPhone images produced by R. The final three names are listed alphabetically. Contributions were extensive and synergistic.
