Statistical Analysis & Modeling

The number of statistical analysis and visualization tools has exploded, yet a core set of capabilities can help explain consumer behavior and trends in many situations.

Commonly used tools

For consumer and B2B/industrial marketing research.

Analysis of covariance

Adjusts data for the effects of other variables, so that analysis of variance can be used effectively.

Analysis of variance

Decomposes the total variance of an experiment into variance attributable to specific variables.

Cluster analysis

Forms homogeneous groups of objects, such as people, brands, or markets.

Canonical correlations

Measures in precise quantitative terms the relationship between two sets of variables.

Conjoint analysis

Measures the relative importance of benefits and product attributes, overall and for individual respondents.

Discriminant analysis

Classifies people or objects into pre-defined groups.

Factor analysis

Reduces a set of inter-correlated items to a smaller set of independent items, giving insight into the underlying structure.

Perceptual mapping

Gives a simplified picture of customers’ perceptions of brands and brand images. Includes correspondence analysis.

Regression analysis

Measures the relationship between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables. Includes logistic regression, where the dependent variable is either true or false.

Design wisely.

The usefulness of any statistical method hinges on data quality and underlying assumptions. Discuss your project with us before zeroing in on a specific technique, which may or may not be appropriate.
