Designs conjoint and factorial-vignette experiments, covering attribute architecture and randomization restrictions, effective-N power, treatment realism, the choice among AMCE, marginal-mean, and AMIE estimands, forced-choice versus rating designs, and PAP tiers. Use when the user is planning a conjoint, drafting or critiquing an attribute table, asking how many respondents or tasks are needed, whether to report AMCEs or marginal means, or how to test interactions. Reviewing an existing…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Conjoint Design Expert > Worked example (attribute table → power calculation → PAP tier assignment): see `reference/example.md`. ### 1. Is a Conjoint the Right Design? - **Identify the DGP Before Attributes:** Articulate the data-generating process the theory implies: which component of the compound profile bears the causal effect of interest, and what respondents are assumed to do when bundling or separating information. This is the "Why → If-Then" step of `hypothesis-building`; the attribute table follows from it. - **When a Conjoint Is the Wrong Tool:** Prefer another design when (a) the question concerns a single treatment dimension (a simple vignette experiment suffices), (b) the attributes cannot be independently randomized without producing incoherent profiles, or (c) the mechanism operates through holistic impression formation rather than attribute-by-attribute evaluation (Sniderman 2018). …

How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/conjoint-design@sha256:4df7cab3b045e070The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.cd70e9b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
