Data Analysis III: Logistic Regression, Conjoint Analysis (Week 10) Flashcards
What is logistic regression?
Logistic regression: Binary variables for DVs
What is the equation for logistic regression?
Zi = βo + β1 Xi + … + εi
*Coefficients βs affect Z, not response directly
What is the formula relating Z to response?
Responsei = e^Zi / (1 + e^Zi)
What are the statistics involved in logistic regression?
No F-stat and R^2
1) Hit rate
2) Coefficients - Significance and sign only. No size.
What is hit rate?
Hit rate = Overall accuracy of the model
Higher hit rate -> More accurate model
Cutoff value = 0.5 (i.e. Hit rate at least 50%)
What adjustments should we make when responses are unbalanced?
We should adjust cutoff value to empirical mean of DV
To increase accuracy of model (not increase hit rate)
What is conjoint analysis?
- Asking consumers to rate bundle of attributes (with certain levels)
- INFER how impt attributes are based on their ratings
- For product design
How does conjoint analysis reveal the importance of attributes of a product?
Customer must make tradeoffs. Conjoint analysis reveals the “value system” behind customer decisions
The more the product rating changes when we vary attribute levels, the more important the attribute
What are the types of conjoint analysis?
1) Rating-based
2) Choice-based
What is rating-based conjoint analysis?
Ask respondents to RATE products, one prdt at a time
Ratings = On a scale
What is choice-based conjoint analysis?
Ask respondents to CHOOSE a prdt, one set at a time
Choice = 0/1
Which attributes do we include in conjoint analysis?
- Find out which attribs. are IMPT to consumers through focus grps, interviews, business reports
- Attribs we can control
- Some attribs are not actionable but impt, e.g. brand
Which attribute levels do we include in conjoint analysis?
- Which attrib. levels do we consider for our new/revised product?
- Which levels are AVAILABLE in the mkt?
- Use concrete levels e.g. 3x3cm vs. small
- Possible to exclude combinations but advised to minimise no. of exclusions
What is full factorial design?
Present all possible combinations
How do you calculate number of combinations for factorial design?
No. of levels for Attrib. 1 x No. of levels for Attrib. 2 x …
