Download or read book Multivariate Analysis for Strategic Decisions written by Michael Lieberman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 25 years Michael Lieberman used his statistical paintbrush to define problems and set in motion the process that links the producers, customers, and end users to the marketer through information. This information is used to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems and improve one's understanding of marketing as a process. When embarking on a strategic decision, it is often best to start at the end: What does the client want in his hand at the end of the process? This volume is a collection of procedures based on statistical methods and inference to solve strategic marketing issues, define choice motives, forecast the optimum price of items, instruct graphically what the marketing problem needs to solve, and discuss thought within the marketing, research, and strategic consulting industries.

Download or read book Managerial Applications of Multivariate Analysis in Marketing written by James H. Myers and published by South Western Educational Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multivariate statistical analysis techniques are now an integral part of most large-scale strategic market studies, so marketing practitioners must learn what these techniques can do and how to apply them.However, most marketers have little or no formal training in complex analytical methods, and many have neither the time nor the interest in acquiring this knowledge. If you are one of them, this book is for you. Managerial Applications of Multivariate Analysis in Marketing is written for marketing research practitioners-even those who don’t have time to read it cover to cover. Each chapter is as self-contained as possible so that researchers and decision makers can more quickly understand the fundamentals of any one statistical technique. It is a reference book, not a textbook, so it does not focus on the statistical techniques themselves and leave you to wonder how they apply to marketing. Most of the calculations in this book can be done by a personal computer, so the authors only cover the math you need while focusing on the marketing implications.

Download or read book An Introduction to Applied Multivariate Analysis with R written by Brian Everitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of data sets collected by researchers in all disciplines are multivariate, meaning that several measurements, observations, or recordings are taken on each of the units in the data set. These units might be human subjects, archaeological artifacts, countries, or a vast variety of other things. In a few cases, it may be sensible to isolate each variable and study it separately, but in most instances all the variables need to be examined simultaneously in order to fully grasp the structure and key features of the data. For this purpose, one or another method of multivariate analysis might be helpful, and it is with such methods that this book is largely concerned. Multivariate analysis includes methods both for describing and exploring such data and for making formal inferences about them. The aim of all the techniques is, in general sense, to display or extract the signal in the data in the presence of noise and to find out what the data show us in the midst of their apparent chaos. An Introduction to Applied Multivariate Analysis with R explores the correct application of these methods so as to extract as much information as possible from the data at hand, particularly as some type of graphical representation, via the R software. Throughout the book, the authors give many examples of R code used to apply the multivariate techniques to multivariate data.

Download or read book Segmentation and Positioning for Strategic Marketing Decisions written by James H. Myers and published by South Western Educational Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Useful to both consumer marketers and business-to-business researchers, this detailed and engaging book delves much more deeply into segmentation than other marketing handbooks. Myers mediates between discussing the intricacies of segmentation and positioning techniques and showing the ways these techniques can be interpreted and used in the real world. The book covers measuring scales, cluster analysis, conjoint analysis, multivariate analysis, CHAID, and classification and regression trees. Other chapters deal with perceptual positioning maps-point and vector, value maps laddering techniques, and quadrant analysis. Myers uses examples to explain research analysis and provides practical information. In addition to explaining how to evaluate results, he provides caveats and explains pitfalls of each technique.

Download or read book The Chicago Guide to Writing about Multivariate Analysis Second Edition written by Jane E. Miller and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many different people, from social scientists to government agencies to business professionals, depend on the results of multivariate models to inform their decisions. Researchers use these advanced statistical techniques to analyze relationships among multiple variables, such as how exercise and weight relate to the risk of heart disease, or how unemployment and interest rates affect economic growth. Yet, despite the widespread need to plainly and effectively explain the results of multivariate analyses to varied audiences, few are properly taught this critical skill. The Chicago Guide to Writing about Multivariate Analysis is the book researchers turn to when looking for guidance on how to clearly present statistical results and break through the jargon that often clouds writing about applications of statistical analysis. This new edition features even more topics and real-world examples, making it the must-have resource for anyone who needs to communicate complex research results. For this second edition, Jane E. Miller includes four new chapters that cover writing about interactions, writing about event history analysis, writing about multilevel models, and the “Goldilocks principle” for choosing the right size contrast for interpreting results for different variables. In addition, she has updated or added numerous examples, while retaining her clear voice and focus on writers thinking critically about their intended audience and objective. Online podcasts, templates, and an updated study guide will help readers apply skills from the book to their own projects and courses. This continues to be the only book that brings together all of the steps involved in communicating findings based on multivariate analysis—finding data, creating variables, estimating statistical models, calculating overall effects, organizing ideas, designing tables and charts, and writing prose—in a single volume. When aligned with Miller’s twelve fundamental principles for quantitative writing, this approach will empower readers—whether students or experienced researchers—to communicate their findings clearly and effectively.
