REPLY Adoption Dynamics (SD6150)

Precedents:  Peter Milling's fine article in SDR generalizing the Bass
model, and others.  Jack Homer's MIT thesis and article in Technology
Forecasting and Social Change on diffusion of Medical Technology.

Approach:  No data of any kind?  Well, how about a purpose?  The phrase
"building a model of" (rather than "building a model for") is usually a
prelude to much thrashing and wasted effort. You can only tell what kind
of data you want when it's relative to some purpose.

Cheers,

Alan
