Depak K. Dey, board of trustees, distinguished professor and associate dean, University of Connecticut, Storrs, will present "Investigating Nested Geographic Structure in Consumer Purchases: A Bayesian Dynamic Multi-scale Spatiotemporal Modeling Approach." During his talk, Dey will discuss how empirical application with a U.S. company's catalog purchase data from 1997 to 2001 reveals a nested geographic market structure that spans geopolitical boundaries such as state borders. The multi-scale model also has better performance in estimation and prediction compared to several spatial and spatiotemporal models.
