The disclosure relates generally to a system and a method for eliciting information from a user by reducing the dimensionality of an item preference data and computing user preferences based on question responses received from the user. The questions include information about pseudo-independent items based on the reduced dimensionality item preference data. The recommendation system and method are operable to make item recommendations to a group of users and for initiating a transaction involving at least one of the recommended items. A method and system for generating pricing information may be configured for accessing a data-structure including a plurality of items; identifying, from the plurality of items, a preference-price efficient item; and outputting a recommendation for the user, the recommendation including the preference-price efficient item. The method and system may also be configured for reducing the dimensionality of item preference data to obtain item preferences of items; simulating preferences of users with the item preferences; and simulating user decisions with the simulated user preferences to generate simulated pricing information. |
