- 8 choice sets consisting of 3 alternatuves and a none option
- 3 attributes, and two covariates

3. brands [ Download all data and lgf files ]
- Participants in a choice-based conjoint study are administered six 3-alternative choice sets where each set
poses a choice between alternative #1: Brand A (at a certain price), alternative #2: Brand B (at a certain
price) and alternative #3: a None option. Brand A represents a new brand in this market

preferred)

7. ratingone.sav [ Download data set ] [ Download .lgf file ]
- rating-based conjoint example
- simulated data
- full factorial design (2*2*2) with 8 replications
- LC regression with ordinal dependent, 3 predictors (product attributes) and 2 covariates (individual characteristics)

7A. rating [ Download all data and lgf files ]
- The data for this example are obtained from a hypothetical conjoint marketing study
involving repeated measures. Respondents were asked to provide likelihood of purchase
ratings for each of 8 different product alternatives that differ on the attributes fashion,
quality and price
- simulated data utilizing a 5-point ratings scale

8. aim.sav [ Download data set ] [ Download .lgf file ]
- example used by Vermunt (2004) to illustrate the multilevel LC ranking model
- data taken from the 1999 European Value Study (EVS): subsample of 3584 individuals from 32 countries
- a single partial ranking task performed is by each person. It concerned the well-known (post)materialism scale in which people is asked : “Select what you find the first and the second most important aim of the country”
- the multilevel LC model involves grouping countries into country classes (GClasses). An alternative is model country differences using parametric random effects (GCFactors).
- the data file constain some covariates that were not used by Vermunt in his paper on multilevel LC models

9. capt [ Download all data and lgf files ]
- capture-recapture analysis using latent class or random effects models
- the model that is used is a log-linear model for a 26 table in which the (0,0,0,0,0,0) combination (the number of non-captured cases) is missing
- this example illustrates that Latent GOLD Choice can be used to estimate mixture and random-effects log-linear models. The log-linear model used here is a quasi-independence model.

10. coffee [ Download all data and lgf files ]
- data from choice-based conjoint experiment in which 185 persons coffee makers out of 8 sets consisting of 3 alternatives
- there are five product attributes of interest: brand (Philips, Braun, Moulinex), capacity (6 cups, 10 cups, 15 cups), price (F39, F69, F99), filter (yes, no), thermos flask (yes, no)
- the data can be modeled using a LC Choice model or random-coefficients choice model (the latter using the CFactors option)
- data used by Vermunt in his 2004 SMABS workshop.

11. croon1.dat [ Download data set ] [ Download croon_1file.lgf ]
- simple LC model for ranking data
- same (post)materialism scale as in “aim.sav”, but from a different study and as a full ranking task
- no attributes are used (only constants)

12. croon3.dat [ Download data set ] [ Download croon_3file.lgf ]
- same data as croon1.dat but in 3-file format
- we do not need an alternatives and a sets file because there are no attributes
