The document discusses conjoint analysis, a market research technique used to determine how consumers value different product attributes. Conjoint analysis involves showing consumers combinations of attributes (like brand, price, features) and analyzing their preferences to determine the implicit value or "part-worth" of each attribute. This can be used to build models predicting market share and profitability of new product designs. The document provides an example conjoint analysis problem with three attributes (brand, color, price) to illustrate how a full-factorial experimental design and statistical analysis can be used to interpret consumer preferences.
