A combined QFD and Fuzzy integer programming framework to determine attribute levels for conjoint study (2009)
Book Chapter
The Art and Science Behind Successful Product Launches (243-256). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-2860-0_13

In a recent paper, Chaudhuri and Bhattacharyya propose a methodology combing Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Integer Programming framework to determine the attribute levels for a Conjoint Analysis (CA). The product planning decisions, however,... Read More about A combined QFD and Fuzzy integer programming framework to determine attribute levels for conjoint study.

Two period product choice models for commercial vehicles. (2009)
Book Chapter
Chaudhuri, A., & Singh, K. (2009). Two period product choice models for commercial vehicles. In N. Srinivasa Raghavan, & J. A. Cafeo (Eds.), The Art and Science Behind Successful Product Launches (289-301). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-2860-0

Choosing products to launch from a set of platform based variants and determining their prices are some of the critical decisions involved in any new product development (NPD) process. Commercial vehicles are products, whose sales are closely tied wi... Read More about Two period product choice models for commercial vehicles..

The evolution of social learning rules: Payoff-biased and frequency-dependent biased transmission. (2009)
Journal Article
Kendal, J., Giraldeau, L., & Laland, K. (2009). frequency-dependent biased transmission. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 260(2), 210-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2009.05.029

Humans and other animals do not use social learning indiscriminately, rather, natural selection has favoured the evolution of social learning rules that make selective use of social learning to acquire relevant information in a changing environment....

Sperm competition and brain size evolution in mammals. (2009)
Journal Article
Lemaître, J., Ramm, S., Barton, R., & Stockley, P. (2009). Sperm competition and brain size evolution in mammals. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2009.01837.x

The 'expensive tissue hypothesis' predicts a size trade-off between the brain and other energetically costly organs. A specific version of this hypothesis, the 'expensive sexual tissue hypothesis', argues that selection for larger testes under sperm...

Nine-spined sticklebacks deploy a hill-climbing social learning strategy. (2009)
Journal Article
Kendal, J., Rendell, L., Pike, T., & Laland, K. (2009). Nine-spined sticklebacks deploy a hill-climbing social learning strategy. Behavioral Ecology, 20(2), 238-244. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arp016

Theoretical models on the adaptive advantages of social learning lead to the conclusion that copying cannot be indiscriminate and that individuals should adopt evolved behavioral strategies that dictate the circumstances under which they copy others...
