Conjoint Analysis (marketing)
Conjoint analysis is a survey-based statistical technique used in market research that helps determine how people value different attributes (feature, function, benefits) that make up an individual product or service. The objective of conjoint analysis is to determine the influence of a set of attributes on respondent choice or decision making. In a conjoint experiment, a controlled set of potential products or services, broken down by attribute, is shown to survey respondents. By analyzing how respondents choose among the products, the respondents' valuation of the attributes making up the products or services can be determined.

Conjoint analysis originated in mathematical psychology and was developed by marketing professor Paul E. Green at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Other prominent conjoint ...
