Conjoint Analysis in Pharmaceutical Research

A Checklist for Conjoint Analysis Applications in Health: Report of the Ispor Conjoint Analysis Good Research Practices Task Force

Conjoint analysis applications in health--a checklist: a report of the ISPOR Good Research Practices for Conjoint Analysis Task Force.

BACKGROUND The application of conjoint analysis (including discrete-choice experiments and other multiattribute stated-preference methods) in health has increased rapidly over the past decade. A wider acceptance of these methods is limited by an absence of consensus-based methodological standards. OBJECTIVE The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Good Res...

Developments in Conjoint Analysis

A New Conjoint Analysis Procedure with Application to Marketing Research

In this paper we propose some extensions and applications of the nonparametric combination of dependent rankings (see Pesarin and Lago). This methodology is applied to Conjoint Analysis in order to aggregate (ex ante) preferences from a group of individuals. Furthermore, a new global association test (GAT) is introduced in order to test for the association of the global ranking with all attribu...

Biomarkers in Pharmaceutical Research.

BACKGROUND Biomarkers are important tools in drug development and are used throughout pharmaceutical research. CONTENT This review focuses on molecular biomarkers in drug development. It contains sections on how biomarkers are used to assess target engagement, pharmacodynamics, safety, and proof-of-concept. It also covers the use of biomarkers as surrogate end points and patient selection/com...
