METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPUTATION OF PRICE ELASTICITY FOR OPTIMAL PRICING OF PRODUCTS

In retail industry, retailers need accurate price elasticity (PE) values to offer optimal prices for products to business constraints. Existing approaches provide approximate PE values leading to suboptimal price recommendations. This disclosure relates to method of computing PE values for optimal pricing based on sequential price elasticity computation is provided. Transaction data and attribute data of products are processed to obtain preprocessed data. One or more selected models are determined based on the preprocessed data. Priors at one or more levels are computed and likelihoods are computed based on one or more monetary objectives from historical transaction data of the products. One or more parameters of one or more price elasticity distributions are iteratively determined through one or more component approaches based on the priors and the likelihoods. The PE values are derived based on ensemble techniques applied to one or more parameters of the one or more PE distributions.
