Examples (CONJOINT command)

CONJOINT PLAN='/DATA/CARPLAN.SAV'
 /FACTORS=SPEED (LINEAR MORE) WARRANTY (DISCRETE MORE)
  PRICE (LINEAR LESS) SEATS
 /SUBJECT=SUBJ /RANK=RANK1 TO RANK15 /UTILITY='UTIL.SAV'.
  • The PLAN subcommand specifies the IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file CARPLAN.SAV as the plan file containing the full-concept profiles. Because there is no DATA subcommand, the active dataset is assumed to contain the subjects’ rankings of these profiles.
  • The FACTORS subcommand specifies the ways in which the factors are expected to be related to the rankings. For example, speed is expected to be linearly related to the rankings, so that cars with higher speeds will receive lower (more-preferred) rankings.
  • The SUBJECT subcommand specifies the variable SUBJ in the active dataset as an identification variable. All consecutive cases with the same value on this variable are combined to estimate utilities.
  • The RANK subcommand specifies that each data point is a ranking of a specific profile and identifies the variables in the active dataset that contain these rankings.
  • UTILITY writes out an external data file named UTIL.SAV containing the utility estimates and associated statistics for each subject.
