The Prediction of Individual Probabilities of Brand Choice

This paper investigates three alternative methods for estimating individual probabilities of brand choice: a multi-attribute attitude model, a dollar-metric model, and a constant sum scale. These approaches are compared to actual choice behavior in a controlled experimental setting, with the constant sum scale being the dominant method.
