Researchers have introduced a new framework for Markov chain (MC) choice models utilizing panel data, which accounts for dependencies between a customer's historical transactions. This approach incorporates partial-ordering preference information and proposes novel expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms for parameter estimation. The proposed EM algorithms demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods on synthetic and sushi datasets, while also presenting computational results for conditional choice prediction and assortment optimization problems.
