Revisiting the two-stage choice model: an empirical study of consumer choice on brand website visits

In consumer choice behaviour literature, a two-stage choice model serves as a base theory where choice behaviour is decomposed into a consideration stage plus a choice stage. Yet, this default model has been increasingly challenged by the ‘limited consumer search’ school of thought because consumers do not necessarily review all products in a choice set before making decisions, but frequently draw on external information as mental short cuts. Methodologically, the choice behaviour in stage 1 has traditionally been latent because data that directly observe how consumers form their consideration sets by eliminating alternatives are lacking. This study continues the ‘limited consumer search’ line of reasoning and proposes an aided non-compensatory process in choice stage 1, where consumers reduce brand website alternatives by using online ratings to arrive at a consideration set. We use observed Web analytics data to unveil the stage 1 choice process and also the transition from stage 1 to stage 2, which is in need of further research based on extant literature. Lastly, we cross-validate our model with two types of websites (i.e. search vs. experience/credence) and find our model is contingent on the type of website content, where consumers’ inclination to use online ratings for decision-making varies.

Maximum quasi-likelihood estimation for the near(2) model

Abstract.  Maximum quasi-likelihood estimation is investigated for the NEAR(2) model, an autoregressive time series model with marginal exponential distributions. In certain regions of the parameter space, simulations indicate that maximum quasi-likelihood estimators perform better than two-stage conditional least squares estimators in terms of the per cent of estimates falling in the parameter space. The problem of out-of-range estimates is shown to be caused by the lack of information in the data rather than the characteristics of the method of estimation.

Treatment of methanol wastewater with two-stage and two-phase anaerobic process

The two-stage and two-phase anaerobic process (TSTP) composed of hydrolytic acidification reactor,first-order and second-order external circulation anaerobic reactors (EC) was taken to treat methanol wastewater. Test results show that TSTP process is quick start-up in 51 d, and the maximum VFA of hydrolytic acidification reactor effluent reaches 876 mg/L. Under the condition of volume loading of 6.56 kgCOD/m3·d, COD removal rate of the first-order EC reactor is about 85%, and under the condition of volume loading of 1.02 kgCOD/m3·d, COD removal rate of the second-order EC reactor is about 50%. When the inflow COD of TSTP process is between 7000-11000 mg/L, its effluent COD is lower than 600 mg/L. In the biological conversion process of methanol into methane,the production of acetic acids as an intermediate product can be ignored and the direct production of methane from methanol is predominant.

大规模短时间任务的低延迟集群调度框架

大规模数据分析环境中,经常存在一些持续时间较短、并行度较大的任务。如何调度这些低延迟要求的并发作业是目前研究的一个热点。现有的一些集群资源管理框架中,集中式调度器由于主节点的瓶颈无法达到低延迟的要求,而一些分布式调度器虽然达成了低延迟的任务调度,但在最优资源分配以及资源分配冲突方面存在一定的不足。从大规模实时作业的需求出发,设计和实现了一个分布式的集群资源调度框架,以满足大规模数据处理的低延迟要求。首先提出了两阶段调度框架以及优化后的两阶段多路调度框架;然后针对两阶段多路调度过程中存在的一些资源冲突问题,提出了基于负载平衡的任务转移机制,从而解决了各个计算节点的负载不平衡问题;最后使用实际负载以及一个模拟调度器对大规模集群中的任务调度框架进行了模拟和验证。对于实际负载,所提框架的调度延迟控制在理想调度的12%以内;在模拟环境下,该框架与集中式调度器相比在短时间任务的延迟上能够减少40%以上。
