Key Advantages of RDE
- The structure of RDE imposes the discipline of thinking resulting in a higher success rate than other methods. Many users report that just preparing for RDE (seven steps above) helps them to better understand the problem and find possible solutions.
- Individual models for each respondent allows for more robust and rich data to generate rules. Some of the advantages of individual models include:
- Pattern-based discoveries (Step 6, segmentation) to generate rules for more targeted optimization (also called attitudinal segmentation or latent segments)
- Simulate market share and choice analysis
- Discover any and all meaningful pair-wise interactions between the elements
- Analyze how one element ‘drives’ responses to another element using scenarios (e.g., in case of a category containing brands names, the researcher can compare the utilities of other elements when each of the brands are kept constant).,
- RDE uses a variation of dummy variable regression to estimate the absolute values of the utilities, which in turn allows databasing the result for tracking the consumers’ minds and easy comparison of the utilities across the categories.

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or advantages:
“Power, in Case’s world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals ..., had ... attained a kind of immortality. You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“Can you conceive what it is to native-born American women citizens, accustomed to the advantages of our schools, our churches and the mingling of our social life, to ask over and over again for so simple a thing as that “we, the people,” should mean women as well as men; that our Constitution should mean exactly what it says?”
—Mary F. Eastman, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4 ch. 5, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
