A hierarchical product-market tree is estimated from scanner panel purchase data in a maximum likelihood framework.

The hierarchical representation of products and segments as well as the composition of the market segments are derived simultaneously. An empirical application examines the descriptive and predictive validity of the methodology.Read More
