These models are intended to replicate and explain market interactions, interdependence, and dynamics. These models are used by Uniprism Market Research to acquire a better knowledge of numerous market characteristics such as customer preferences, pricing elasticity, competition dynamics, and more. Depending on the individual study aims, many types of models are utilized, such as regression models, econometric models, decision tree models, and machine learning models.
