An experimental investigation of the impact of fat taxes: Price effects, food stigma, and information effects on economic instruments to improve dietary health
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis investigates how a tax and warning label on less healthy snack food products may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax is a source of consumer information. A survey that included choice experiments was implemented in supermarkets. Participants were asked to choose...

Comparison of Sleep State Classification Performance Using Random Forests, Hidden Markov Models, and Non-homogeneous Hidden Markov Models
DownloadFall 2020
In this work, the CF00N polysomnograph data of 75 patients, with ranging severeties of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), is presented and analyzed in terms of sleep state classification. The pre-processing and cleaning of each polysomnograph recording were performed in R (R Core Team, 2019) using...

The traditional approach to the study of consumer behaviour is to regard them as isolated islands of preferences, needs, motives, and goals; however, this approach neglects the impact of ‘others’ on consumers’ judgments and preferences. For this reason, the theme of this thesis is the ‘connected...
