Abstract: | The ability to rank brands or services from best to worst is a well-known marketing need. The current methodology for doing so is at best ad-hoc. In the paper, some well-known methods from categorical data analysis are combined with some innovative ideas to derive a methodologically sound and statistically testable new technique to compare brands on an ordinal variable. The new technique, based on the notion of stochastic ordering, has the merit of enabling a comparison of brands. It determines an optimal scale under which the brands can be insightfully compared and ranked. |
