Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Using a simulation study, we show that the MIP provides accurate assortment decisions in a reasonable amount of time for practical problem sizes. ... In this section, we examine how the MIP performs in terms of the running time. We considered the following simulation setup. ... Table 1 shows the running time of the strengthened MIP formulation for different values of e and n.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Computing choice probabilities
Open Source Code No The paper does not include any statement about releasing source code for the described methodology, nor does it provide a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The paper describes generating synthetic data for its experiments: 'Product prices are sampled independently and uniformly at random from the interval [0, 1]. The modal ranking is fixed to the identity ranking with the outside option ranked at the top.' It does not refer to or provide access to a publicly available dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a simulation setup for generating data but does not explicitly mention training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification Yes We solved the MIPs using the Gurobi Optimizer version 6.0.0 on a computer with processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, RAM of 8GB, and operating system Mac OSX El Capitan.
Software Dependencies Yes We solved the MIPs using the Gurobi Optimizer version 6.0.0
Experiment Setup Yes We considered the following simulation setup. Product prices are sampled independently and uniformly at random from the interval [0, 1]. The modal ranking is fixed to the identity ranking with the outside option ranked at the top. ... For each pair of parameters, we generated 50 different instances.
