Unfolding Model
The Unfolding Model is a geometric approach to preference analysis that represents both individuals and choice objects (stimuli) as points in a shared low-dimensional space. Originating with Clyde Coombs's foundational 1950 work on preferential choice and rigorously systematized by Borg and Groenen (2005), the model assumes each person prefers the stimulus closest to their personal ideal point, thereby 'unfolding' rank-order preference data into a joint spatial map.
