Case studies

Studies run, with the result and its limits.

• Checking a simulated vaccine-allocation study against Duch et al. 2021

  A consumer-insights team weighing a simulated discrete-choice result against a real human study needs a published study to check the simulation against.

• Does a Simulated Yogurt-Choice Study Match Human Behavior? The Ares Replication

  A simulated conjoint study on functional yogurt reproduced the attribute ordering found in a published human study, with a rank correlation of rs = .7723, p = .009.

• Checking a Synthetic Experiment Result Before You Act on It

  The decision: trust the number, or check it first

• Replicating a published rural job-preference study with a causal discrete choice experiment

  The decision: trust a new method, or field a traditional study first

• Checking a simulated immigration-attitudes study against Hainmueller & Hopkins 2015

  A research or policy team weighing whether to trust a simulated discrete-choice result on a politically sensitive topic needs a prior human benchmark, not a general accuracy…

• Does a simulated vaccine-preference study match a published one? A Kreps et al. replication check

  A head of insights weighing a simulated discrete choice experiment against a full human-recruited study needs one answer: does the simulated ranking of preferences track how real…
