New software for the design of robust stated choice experiments

New software for the design of robust stated choice experiments

TU Delft researcher Sander van Cranenburgh, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Sydney, has developed an upgrade for leading software package Ngene. Ngene is used by researchers and professionals to design stated choice experiments.
