Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Market Segmentation
Michel Wedel · 2012
80/100
👍 Worth It
Wedel and Kamakura built the standard reference on quantitative market segmentation — the synthesis of finite mixture models, latent class methods, and conjoint-based approaches is comprehensive and methodologically rigorous in a way few texts match. It's not for the faint of math, but for doctoral students and serious researchers it remains essential. The 2000/2012 vintage means machine-learning methods are absent, so supplement accordingly.
