PREFACE
This practical guide on data analysis has been prepared specifically for the business students majoring in marketing who have an aversion for numbers and statistical methods. The simple step-by-step approach used in the guide should enable students to gain insight into statistical tools and help them develop their skills in interpreting and making meaning out of numbers. The entire range of statistical tools has all been explained using a single data set from a questionnaire on tooth-paste market. The tools covered range from simple frequencies, mean, median etc. to multivariate techniques like factor, cluster and discriminant analysis. The questionnaire, the code sheet and the final report are all given in the appendix. The first chapter on simple analytical methods starts with SPSS data preparation and goes on to explain the use of descriptive statistics to prepare summary results for each question in the survey data. It also highlights the use of charts for displaying data. The second chapter goes into the use of brand rating data for making snake charts, and positioning of brand using factor analysis. The third chapter introduces the concept of correlation coefficient and its sue for getting derived importance weights used for construction of Kano diagram. Chapter 4 uses the importance scores for benefits to do benefit segmentation using cluster analysis. Chapter 5 introduces Correspondence analysis and its use for mapping brand-personality association data. Use of regression analysis in marketing research is explained in Chapter 6. The problem of multicollinearity and talking the same using factor analysis is also explained in the same. Chapter 7 describes the use of discriminant analysis to find out brand drivers for different brands. Chapter 9 explains the use of multi-dimensional scaling for brand positioning. The data files referred to in this text are all available on the student web site as part of this module. I am grateful to the graduate and undergraduate students who enrolled for the marketing research course during the Fall 2003 term for their co-operation in developing the questionnaire and collection of data. I am grateful to Dr. R Krishnan, Director Graduate Program and Dr. Norm Borin, Marketing Area Chair for their support and encouragement for this project.

Introduction and Simple Analytical Methods
Objectives:
1. To understand Data view and Variable view in an SPSS data file. 2. To understand the difference between String and Numeric variables. 3. To become familiar with Labels and Value labels. 4. To learn how to get frequencies of variables and get Pie or Bar charts of those
frequencies. 5. To learn how to create a transformed variable and understand the difference
between the raw variable and the transformed variable. 6. To learn how to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and variance of a variable
using SPSS. 7. To understand how to make a cross-tabulation of two nominal variables and use
the chi-square test to see whether the relationship between the two variables is significant or not.
8. To learn to use the “compare means” command and learn about independent t-test. Data View Versus Variable View: Open the file `descriptives.sav’ At the bottom left hand corner you will see TWO BUTTONS: DATA VIEW AND VARIABLE VIEW Click on the variable view. You will see the complete definition of each variable.
Data View- Variable View

String Versus Numeric Variables Study the variable definitions. Note that Nickname is a `STRING VARIABLE’ All others are `NUMERIC VARIABLES’ Go to Data View and see that String variables are made up of letters or letters and numbers (alpha numeric) while the numeric variables are made up of numbers only. Labels and Value Labels Go to variable view again and study the columns LABEL and VALUES. Click at the right hand corner of VALUES corresponding to the VARIABLE `class’ A small window shown below will open.
These are the codes used for the variable class. Now shift to Data view and then click: VIEW VALUE LABEL You will notice that labels corresponding to the numerical codes appear on the data sheet. Frequencies and Charts: Let us first try to understand the profile of respondents.

Let us start with the age profile. Run the following SPSS Commands to get the distribution of respondents by age. ANALYZE DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS FREQUENCIES Drag variable `Age[q12a]’ on to the VARIABLE(S) Box CHART PIE CHARTS PERCENTAGES CONTINUE OK Check if you get the following table and the Pie chart from in a new window.

Now repeat the analysis with other demographic variables, namely Household Income, Gender, and Race. You can drag all three variables to the variables box and have the charts made simultaneously. Now do the frequencies with other variables, awareness of Brands and also with trial of brands. Now go the variable Current Brand and change the chart from PIE to Bar and see if you get the following chart.

Raw Variable Versus Transformed Variables: Suppose we want to know on an average how many brands a person is aware of, we cannot get it directly from the data. We need to create a new variable from the existing ones.
7 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
Try the following commands to create a new variable called ‘aware’ which is derived from other variables. TRANSFORM COMPUTE Type `aware’ in the TARGET VARIABLE Box Move variable `q01a’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + Move variable `q01b’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + Move variable `q01c’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + Move variable `q01d’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + Move variable `q01e’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + Move variable `q01f’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + Move variable `q01g’ into the NUMERIC EXPRESSION Box Click on + OK Note that we are forming a numeric expression Aware = q01a + q01b + q01c + q01c + q01d + q01e + q01f + q01g Notice that a new column has been created by SPSS called `aware’. While the original variables are called raw variables, the new one formed out of raw variables is called a transformed variable. Go to variable view and type `No. Of Brands Aware’ in the LABEL column corresponding to the variable `aware’ Now perform a Frequency analysis on the new variable `aware’ and get a bar chart as shown below. No. Of Brands Aware

In the same way create a new variable called trial (no. Of brands tried by each person) using the following expression. trial = q02a + q02b + q02c + q02d + q02e + q02f + q02g And find the frequency distribution of the number of brands tried. Mean, Standard Deviation and Variance: Note that the two new transformed variables, namely aware and trial, are different from the other variables we have seen earlier. These are ratio scaled variables whereas the other variables are only nominally scaled. We shall see how to calculate mean, standard deviation and variance for a ratio scaled data.

Try the following SPSS Commands. ANALYZE DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS DESCRIPTIVES drag the variable `aware’ to VARIABLES Box OPTIONS VARIANCE CONTINUE OK You will get the following output Descriptive Statistics
N Minimum Maximum Mean Std. Deviation Variance No. Of Brands Aware 70 2.00 7.00 4.5286 .84650 .717 Valid N (listwise) 70
This shows that on an average a respondent is aware of 4.53 brands and the standard deviation of the same variable is 0.85. Crosstabs and Chi-Square Test: Suppose we want to know whether the use of a particular brand depends on whether the person is a male or female, we need to use the type of analysis called cross-tabulation. Crosstabs is used to explore the relationship between two nominal or categorical variables. Try the following SPSS Commands ANALYZE DESCRIPTIVE STATITICS CROSSTABS Drag Gender to ROW(S) Drag Current Brand to COLUMN(S) CELLS ROW CONTINUE STATISTICS CHI-SQUARE OK

It is a convention to keep the independent variable in the row, dependent variable in the column and get row percentages in the cells. In this case, we are trying to explore whether gender has an impact on brand choice. To interpret the table, always look column-wise and see if the percentages vary drastically. In the Aquafresh column, there is a larger percentage of males. Colgate has marginally large percentages of females. Crest has a substantially large percentage of females compared to males. Mentadent has an equal following among males and females. Arm & Hammer appears to be an exclusive male brand. There appears to be some relationship between gender and brand used. To check whether the relationship is significant or not, we need to look at the chi-square value. Chi-Square Tests

a 6 cells (50.0%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected count is 1.50. A chi-square value of 10.707 at 5 degrees of freedom is significant at 0.058, i.e. at a confidence level of 94.2. Normally we look for a confidence level of 95% or more. As it is close to 95%, and also given the fact that some of the cells have values less than 5, we can take this as a significant relationship. Note that the cell frequencies should be 5 or more for chi-square test. However SPSS applies a correction factor to take care of this deficiency and makes it all the more difficult to attain significance.
11 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
The same rule for the significance level of 0.05 or less applies to all the tests that we are going to learn, be it t-test, f-test or any other test. Degrees of freedom = (no. of rows -1) x (no. of columns – 1) The same way construct cross tabs for age, income, and race against Current Brand and check if the relationships are significant using chi-square values. Compare Means Suppose we want to know whether the mean number of brands aware across males and females, we could use the following commands. ANALYZE COMPARE MEANS MEANS Drag variable `aware’ to DEPENDENT LIST gender to INDEPENDENT LIST OK The following output will be obtained. Report No. Of Brands Aware
Gender Mean N Std. Deviation Male 4.6286 35 1.00252 Female 4.4286 35 .65465 Total 4.5286 70 .84650
4.6 and 4.2 are very close values. The difference between Male and Female appears to be very marginal. Now do the analysis with other classification variables, race, income, age and class. Independent t-Test: Suppose we want to know whether the difference of 0.4 in the number of brand aware of between male and female populations is statistically significant, we need to conduct a t-test.

Our Null Hypothesis is that the means for males and females are the same. The alternate Hypothesis is that the means are significantly different. As we do not know which one should be greater we use a 2-tailled significance test. Notice that the t-value of 0.988 at 68 degrees of freedom has significance of only 0.327. The corresponding confidence level is 67.3% which is too low. Unless the significance level is less than 0.05 the mean values are not significantly different. Note that the degrees of freedom in this case are number of observations minus two. Conduct the t-test for other variables – age, race and income to see whether the mean brands aware of vary by any of these categories.

Snake Chart, Factor Analysis and Brand Positioning Objectives: To understand how to compute mean ratings of brands and to construct snake charts. To learn how to run factor analysis and understand the following concepts:
- variance explained - factor loading - eigenvalue - communality - rotation - factor score
Use factor analysis for brand positioning. Data Structure: Open the file factor.sav Study the file structure. This new file has been created out of the master data file by re-arranging the variables q06a01 to q06d11 as indicated below. q06a01 … ... q06a11 q06b01 … ... q06b11 q06c01 … ... q06c11 q06d01 … ... q06d11 1. 2. . . . . . 70

This chart can be used to study the relative positioning of brands on different attributes. We can see that Mentadent and Arm&Hammer are rated highly on selected attributes while Crest scores consistently higher rating on all the attributes. Aquafresh has lower rating and Colgate is stuck in the middle. Here the points are very cluttered and it is difficult to see finer distinctions. Factor analysis will help us do sharper positioning.

Factor Analysis Factor analysis is used to understand the underlying dimensions of a set of variables having high correlation among them. Execute the following commands to get the factor analysis output. ANALYZE DATA REDUCTION FACTOR Highlight and Drag `q06_01… q06_10’ to VARIABLES DESCRIPTIVES Check COEFFICIENTS CONTINUE EXTRACTION SCREE PLOT CONTINUE ROTATION VARIMAX CONTINUE SCORES SAVE VARIABLES CONTINUE OPTIONS SORTED BY SIZE CONTINUE OK Take a look at the Correlation Matrix and notice that the variables are correlated among themselves. For example the correlation between good taste and likeable flavor is as high as 0.928. The correlations are sufficient for conducting a factor analysis is confirmed by Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity which is significant.

Now take a look at the variance explained matrix.
Total Variance Explained Component Initial Eigenvalues Rotation Sums of Squared Loadings
Total % of Variance Cumulative % Total % of Variance Cumulative % 1 4.438 44.378 44.378 2.651 26.512 26.512 2 1.577 15.773 60.152 2.392 23.915 50.428 3 1.239 12.391 72.543 2.211 22.115 72.543 4 .804 8.043 80.585 5 .500 5.004 85.590 6 .440 4.399 89.989 7 .343 3.432 93.421 8 .329 3.291 96.711 9 .261 2.613 99.324 10 .068 .676 100.000
Read ‘component’ as ‘factors’ in the table. Technically the 10 original variables can be converted into 10 new factors which are orthogonal to each other (i.e., will have zero correlation among them). The first such factor will account for 44.378 percent variance in the original data, second one will account for 15.773 percent and so on. In statistics, variance is information. As 72.543 percent of information (variance) is summarized by three variables, it is enough to work with three factors. We shall see what the eigenvalue and rotation mean later.

Now go to the data view in the SPSS data file. You will notice that three new variables, namely, fact1_1, fact2_1 and fact3_1 have been added by the system. The values that these variables take are called factor scores. Basically the original 10 inter-correlated variables have been converted to 3 new factors which are orthogonal to each other. To check the orthogonality, do the following analysis. ANALYSE CORRELATE BIVARIATE Highlight and drag `fact1_1, fact2_1 and fact3_1’ to VARIABLES OK You will get the following output which shows that the factors have zero correlation between them. Correlations

Now the problem is to find out what these factors mean. Obviously the three new factors summarize the information present in the original ten variables. We need to establish which variables go into which factor. Look at the rotated component matrix

The cells contain factor loadings, i.e., correlation coefficients of original variables with the new factors. Conduct the following analysis to confirm the above statement. Conduct a correlational analysis of the first variable Cleaning of Stains/Tartar with the three new factors (fact1_1, fact2_1 and fact3_1) to get the first row in the rotated component matrix. The variable `cleaning stains/tartar’ has a correlation coefficient of 0.878 with the first factor, 0.203 with the second factor, and 0.014 with factor 3. What it means is that the variable `cleaning stains/tartar’ belongs to first factor. The same way the variables highlighted in the column corresponding to factor 1 belong to the same factor. For the moment ignore the variable `innovative features/ingredients’ as it is highlighted in two columns. Looking at the variables that go into each factor we can name them as Dental Hygiene, Visibility and Sensory Benefits. Factor -1 Factor – 2 Factor – 3 Cleaning Stains/Tartar Fighting Cavities Whitening Teeth Freshening breath
Attractive Packaging Color Brand Image
Likeable Flavor Good Taste
Dental Hygiene Visibility Sensory Benefits The variable `innovative features/ingredients’ has a high correlation with Dental Hygiene as well as Visibility. Suppose that a brand claims in its advertisements that it has a new ingredient that whitens the teeth, it contributes to Dental Hygiene as well the Visibility of the brand. That is how it features in two factors.

Now take a look at the communalities matrix.

Communalities refer to the amount of information that has been extracted from each variable. Notice that more than 90 percent of information (variance) has been extracted from variables ‘good taste’ and ‘likeable flavor’ whereas less than 50% is extracted from ‘innovative features/ingredients.’ If we work with large number of variables, say more than 20, it may be a good idea to leave out variables with low communality while naming factors. In the same way, the eigenvalues are directly proportional to the amount of variance explained by each factor. The sum of all eigenvalues always equals the total number of variables. Hence the proportion of variance explained by each factor can be calculated by dviding the corresponding eigenvalue by the total number of variables. Now take a look at the variance explained table to verify the same. As the first eigenvalue is 4.438, the variance explained by the first factor can be calculated by diving 4.438 by 10 (total number of variables) and multiplying bv 100. Now take a look at the Scree Plot

Scree plot gives an idea as to how many factors to extract. The rule normally applied is to stop at where the arm bends. In this case it is three factors. After three factors the curve gets flat indicating that the gain will be marginal if we go beyond three factors. The default in SPSS is that it stops when the eigenvalue gets to less than one. To understand the concept of rotation, take a look at the unrotated component matrix. If we plot factor2 and factor3 we get the graph shown below.
22 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
It is difficult to interpret this type of data as we find that the cluster of variables likeable flavor and good taste are mid-way between factor 2 and factor 3. If we rotate the y-axis so as to pass through the cluster we can interpret the y-axis as Sensory Benefits. In the same way the x-axis can be rotated to pass through the cluster that corresponds to Dental Hygiene. Rotation is done to make it easy to interpret the output. Note that the angle between X and Y axis in our rotation is more than 90 degrees. If the angle is maintained at 90o it is called an orthogonal rotation otherwise it is known as oblique rotation. Note that we used Varimax rotation which is an orthogonal rotation method. What we have achieved by conducting a factor analysis is that we have converted the original ten variables into 3 new factors. Now we can use these three new variables to do brand positioning. We can bring both the variables and the brands on to the same map.

You find that Freshening Breath is the most important attribute with a mean rating of 6.3 on a 1-7 scale. Attractive Packaging is the least important attribute. To convert the means into importance weights, we need to normalize the means. Take the above table to Excel and find the sum of means. Then calculate: Importance Weight = (Mean/Sum of Means)*100 Develop the following Stated Importance weights table.

Derived Importance: In order to obtain the derived importance we are going to use the file factor.sav. By correlating rating of attributes with the overall rating we get the derived importance of attributes. Use the following commands. ANALYZE CORRELATE BIVARIATE Highlight variables q06_01 to q06_11 and drag to VARIABLES OK You will get an 11 by 11 matrix of correlations. We are interested in the last column only which has the correlation of individual attributes with the overall rating. As correlations can range from -1 to +1, take the r2 value for derived importance. Once again these values can be normalized by taking the sum of all the r2 values. The resultant table is given below.

KANO’s Model According to Kano’s model attributes that have a high stated and low derived importance are Minimum expected attributes. Attributes like whitening teeth, fighting cavities, cleaning stains are the minimum expected in a toothpaste. Attributes with low stated and high derived importance are called Delight attributes. The marketers should concentrate on these attributes. In this study the innovative ingredients and brand image emerge as the delight attributes. Others are linear attributes. If they are important then pay attention. The most important attribute is freshening breath, as the stated and derived importance is high. If they have low importance one should not do over engineering of those attributes. In this case spending too much on packaging may not produce commensurate returns.

Chapter 4 Cluster Analysis and Benefit Segmentation
Objectives:
• To learn how cluster analysis can be used for grouping of subjects.
• To understand the difference between hierarchical clustering and k-means clustering.
• To use SPSS to perform cluster analysis and interpret the results.
• To learn how to use cluster analysis for benefit segmentation.
Cluster Analysis: We shall use the cluster.sav file for this session. Let us first calculate the descriptives. Execute the following commands. ANALYZE DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS DESCRIPTIVES Drag variables q05a to q05j to VARIABLES OK If you sort the output according to descending values of standard deviation you will get this output.
Attribute N Mean Std. Deviation
American Dental Association Recommendation 70 4.49 1.89 Attractive Packaging 70 3.43 1.68 Likeable Flavor 70 5.17 1.52 Good Taste 70 5.34 1.50 High Prestige Brand 70 3.47 1.50 Fighting Cavities 70 6.11 1.44 Whitening Teeth 70 5.64 1.41 Innovative Feature/new ingredient 70 4.07 1.37 Cleaning Stains/Tartar 70 5.67 1.35 Freshening Breadth 70 6.30 0.77
Mean Rating of Benefits Sought
32 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
From the output, it is clear that the five variables with high standard deviation are: • American Dental Association Recommendation • Attractive Packaging • Likeable Flavor • Good Taste • High Prestige Brand • Fighting Cavities • Whitening Teeth
These are the attributes where the opinion of the respondents varies much. Hence for clustering and segmentation we shall use only these seven variables. Hierarchical Clustering: Let us start with hierarchical clustering. Execute the following commands. ANALYZE CLASSIFY HIERARCHICAL CLUSTER Highlight and drag the seven variables to VARIABLE(S) Drag nickname to LABEL CASES BY PLOTS Check DENDROGRAM Check NONE CONTINUE If you look at the output you will find a tree structure. If you leave out three cases 38 bearing the nickname `Warden’, 2 (Bud) and 9 (Hank) there are three major branches. That gives us some idea about how many clusters to ask for when we go to K-means clustering.
33 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
K-Means Clustering: In this method the respondents will get allocated to different clusters based on the number of clusters the researcher asks for. Based on the results of the hierarchical cluster we have decided to ask for three clusters. ANALAYZE CLASSIFY K-MEANS CLUSTER Highlight and drag the five variables to VARIABLES box Drag `nickname’ to LABEL CASES BY NUMBER OF CLUSTERS change from 2 to 3 SAVE CLUSTER MEMEBERSHIP CONTINUE OPTION CLUSTER INFORMATION FOR EACH CASE Look at FINAL CLUSTER CENTERS. Attribute Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Cluster 3 Attractive Packaging 2.63 3.46 3.82 American Dental Association Recommendation 4.63 2.08 5.24 Likeable Flavor 3.32 5.77 5.89 Good Taste 3.53 6.00 6.03 High Prestige Brand 2.63 3.08 4.03 Whitening Teeth 5.58 5.85 5.61 Fighting Cavities 6.68 3.77 6.63
Yellow filling indicates rank one across the row and green indicates rank 2. Benefit Segmentation: Cluster 1 members are primarily concerned with fighting cavities and are also interested in American Dental Association recommendation. So the benefit sought is `medically proven cavity fighter.’ Cluster 2 is primarily interested in whitening teeth. They have also given relatively high rating for likeable flavor and good taste. Though they get the second rank on attractive packaging and high prestige brand, the ratings themselves are low in absolute terms. the benefit sought by this group is white teeth plus good taste and flavor. Cluster 3 wants everything; they look for a balanced paste that provides dental care and sensory benefits (taste & flavor).
34 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
So the benefit segments that we have devised are as follows: 1. Proven cavity fighter 2. Tasty flavorful paste for white teeth 3. Balanced paste which provides dental care as well as good taste and flavor
From the table on number of cases in each cluster we find that 19 are in cluster 1, 13 are in cluster 2 and 38 are in cluster 3. The majority (54%) of the people want a balanced paste, 27% want a cavity fighter, and 19% are for white teeth.
Number of Cases in Each Cluster
Cluster 1 19.000 2 13.000 3 38.000 Valid 70.000 Missing .000
Now take a look at the cluster membership table. This gives the information about the cluster membership of each individual. The same information is also stored in the SPSS data file as a new variable crated qcl_1. Insert label values for the new variable as given below:
1. Cavity Fighter 2. White Teeth 3. Balanced Paste
Cross Classification with Demographic Variables: Cross tabulation of the new variable qcl_1 Vs race will produce the following table. Crosstab
Race/Ethnicity White Others Total
Count 16 3 19 Cavity fighter % within Cluster Number of Case 84.2% 15.8% 100.0%

While cavity fighting is important for more proportion of whites, white teeth seems to be of more importance to non-whites. However the chi-square does not show a significant relationship between benefits segments and race. Chi-Square Tests

Aquafresh has a large proportion of cavity fighters; Colgate has a large proportion of white-teeth seekers; and Crest has a large proportion of the balanced paste segment. Once again the chi-square is not significant. We need to take these results with a pinch of salt.

Chapter 5 Correspondence Analysis
Objectives:
• To understand the basic nature of correspondence analysis.
• To conduct correspondence analysis using SPSS and interpret the results. What is Correspondence Analysis? Correspondence analysis is typically used to get a graphical representation of contingency tables. Suppose we did a sample study in which we obtained the income level and the brand used by 36 respondents. The following table summarizes the responses.
Brand Brand A Brand B Brand C Brand D Total
Less than $1000 5 2 1 1 9
$1000 to $3000 2 4 1 2 9
$3001 to $5000 2 2 4 1 9
Income
Above $5000 2 1 1 5 9 Total 11 9 7 9 36
Data Preparation: To get a better insight on the relationship between income and brand used, we could use correspondence analysis. To run correspondence analysis using SPSS we need to have the data organized in the following format.

Chapter 6 Regression Analysis
Objectives:
• To understand the meaning of regression.
• To conduct simple regression and interpret the results.
• To conduct multiple regression and interpret the results.
• To understand the problem of multi-collinearity and a method to overcome the same.
Simple Regression: Open the file regression.sav Study the file structure to understand that it is the same field which was used for factor analysis along with three new variables corresponding to the factor scores that we created using factor analysis. Variables q06_01 to q06_10 refer to rating scores for different brands on different attributes. Variable q06_11 correspond to overall rating given to different brands. We are going to fit regression equations with overall rating as dependent variable and attribute ratings as independent variables. Linear regression refers to fitting of a linear mathematical model between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables. We shall first conduct a regression analysis using just two variables. Use the following SPSS commands to fit a regression model with Fighting Cavities (q06_01) as independent variable and Overall Rating (q06_11) as the dependent variable. ANALYZE REGRESSION LINEAR Drag Fighting Cavities (q06_01) to INDEPENDENT Drag Overall Rating(q06_11) to DEPENDENT OK Take a look at the Coefficients table.

That is, the paste receiving higher rating on attractive packaging has a diminishing effect on the overall rating.

a Dependent Variable: Overall rating Now the question arises as to which variable is contributing more to the dependent variable. This can be inferred by looking at the standardized coefficients. From the β values we can see that the most important variable is Color (0.238) and the second important variable is fighting cavities (0.215) and so on From a statistical standpoint also see which are the variables that are significant. The significance of β is given by the t-values. Note that only the following variables are significant at 95 percent confidence level.
• Fighting cavities (0.000) • Freshening breath (0.001) • Brand Image (0.000) • Color (0.000) and • Innovative features (0.000)
Other variables have significance values above 0.05. Can we conclude that other variables are not important? We cannot say that unless we are sure that the independent variables are not correlated among them.

Multicollinearity: When the independent variables are correlated among themselves, we call it a problem of multicollinearity. Consider the variables Good Taste and Likeable Flavor. They are highly correlated among themselves. ANALYZE CORRELATE BIVARIATE Drag Good Taste and Likeable Flavor to VARIABLES OK You will get the following output. Correlations

Can we conclude here that likeable flavor is not an important attribute? No. Since the two variables are highly correlated, the β values get distorted. As these two are highly correlated, only one of them attains significance.

a Dependent Variable: Overall rating To get over the problem of multi-collinearity, we could factor analyze the independent variables and work with the resulting new factors. Using Factor Scores: Refer to the module on factor analysis where we reduced the original ten variables to three new factors, which were named as Dental Hygiene, Visibility and Sensory benefits. The resulting factor scores for these new variables have been saved in the regression.sav file. We shall now conduct a multiple regression with these three new variables as independent variables and overall rating as the dependent variable.

If we get respondents ‘intention to buy’ score on a rating scale, the same could also be used as a dependent variable. We could then build a regression equation model to predict the intention to buy rating from the attribute rating scores.

Chapter 7
Discriminant Analysis
Objectives: • To understand what discriminant analysis is. • To run discriminant analysis and interpret the results:
- discriminant function - discriminant score - Wilke’s lambda - canonical correlation - structure matrix - standardized and unstandardized discriminant coefficients - cut-off point - confusion matrix
• To understand the use of discriminant analysis to identify Brand Drivers. Basic Ideas: We shall use the disc_aquafresh.sav file to understand how to use dicriminant analysis. Discriminant analysis is a dependent technique where the dependent variable is categorical in nature. The variables 1 – 10 in the file refer to attribute ratings for the brand Aquafresh. 11-13 are the factor scores obtained from earlier analysis (refer factor analysis). We need this information as we may face the same problem of multi-collinearity as we experienced in multiple regression (refer to the section on multiple regression). We are going to use the first 10 variables as independent variables and later use 11-13, the factor scores for the three new factors. The dependent variable is whether the respondent is a user of Aquafresh or not. This is a transformed variable developed from the current and previous brand variables in the master data file. Note that the dependent variable is dichotomous and we are going to fit a model that will help us predict whether someone is a user or non-user of Aquafresh. Use the following SPSS commands.

Notice the difference in the ratings given by users and non-users. In the first five attributes, the users have given a higher rating for Aquafresh and in the last five attributes non-users have given a marginally higher rating for Aquafresh. Canonical Correlation and Wilke’s Lambda: In the next Table, find something called canonical correlation. The interpretation of this is similar to the R value we had in regression analysis.

Using this kind of an equation, a discriminant score is calculated for each respondent and the program uses a cut-off point to classify respondents as users or non-users. Now go to the data file and find two new variables added there – predicted group (dis_1) and discriminant scores (dis1_1). Change to data view and find the discriminant scores. To compute the cut-off point, calculate the mean discriminant score for each group and use the following formula: Cut-off point = (N2D1 + N1D2)/( N1 + N2) where: N1 = No. of Users N2 = No. of Non Users D1 = Average Discriminant Score for Users D2 = Average Discriminant Score for Non Users These values are available in the output in the table: Functions at Group Centroids.

Structure Matrix: Now to determine which variables were effective in discriminating the users from non-users, we could look at the Table of Standardized Canonical Discriminant Coefficients. These coefficients can be interpreted the same way as the β values were interpreted in multiple regression. Fighting cavities appears to be the most important in predicting whether a respondent is an Aquafresh user or not. The least important one seems to be color. This has to be taken with a pinch of salt as the coefficients can get distorted if the independent variables are correlated. Standardized Canonical Discriminant Function Coefficients

Pooled within-groups correlations between discriminating variables and standardized canonical discriminant functions Variables ordered by absolute size of correlation within function. These values in the Structure Matrix can be interpreted much the way as factor loadings in factor analysis. For example, if you correlate `fighting cavities’ with discriminant score you will get 0.514. The attributes are arranged in their order of importance. The attributes that differentiate Aquafresh users from others are ‘fighting cavities’ and ‘cleaning stains/tartar.’ These are strong dental hygiene factors.

In terms of importance of attributes, we find that `dental hygiene’ is the most discriminating attribute for Aquafresh. Also find that there is no contradictory interpretations arising from standardized discriminant coefficients and the structure matrix. Brand Drivers: The implication for the brand is that dental hygiene is the driver attribute for Aquafresh. They should ensure that the rating on the same attribute does not go down. Conduct discriminant analysis for Colgate and Crest using files disc_colgate.sav and disc_crest.sav and identify the brand drivers.

Chapter 8 Multidimensional Scaling
Objectives: • To understand the basic concepts behind multidimensional scaling. • To learn how to conduct multidimensional scaling analysis using SPSS and interpret
the results: - meaning of stress - stress decomposition - interpreting the dimensions
• To understand how to use multiple regression to fit vectors to the multidimensional
space. Basic Concepts: This is a techniques used to identify the underlying dimensions on which a set of stimuli are differentiated based on the similarity-dissimilarity rating of the stimuli. The stimuli could be brands or some other objects or people or even countries. Suppose we get people to rate a set of six countries on a 0-10 scale of similarity-dissimilarity with 0 when the countries are identical and 10 when they are diametrically opposite to each other. The following is the matrix generated from a single respondent. England USA France Germany India China England 0 2 9 8 8 9 USA 2 0 8 9 9 8 France 9 8 0 1 8 8 Germany 8 9 1 0 8 9 India 8 9 8 8 0 1 China 9 8 8 1 9 0 The above data has been arranged in the form required for analysis in the mds_sample.sav file. Open the same file and study the file structure. The rows and columns are defined by row_id and col_id. The corresponding ratings are given under the variable rating. Run the following SPSS commands and study the output.

The next table shows the improvement in stress value. Stress in MDS refers to the extent of model misfit. It is through an iterative process that the program arrives at the configuration that best fits the dissimilarity rating that we have input into the program. Iteration History

Stress value of less than 0.01 is considered to be very good. Stress values up to 0.03 are acceptable. The stress value of 0.00388 for the current data shows that the model has given a good fit. The program has found a solution in two dimensions and the co-ordinates of the stimuli (countries) are given in the final coordinates matrix. The co-ordinates are plotted on a graph too.

Now you can clearly see that the x-axis refers to support for Iraq war and the y-axis refers to economic development. Here we used a judgmental approach to interpreting the dimensions. It is possible to use multiple regression to fix attributes to the above chart, which we shall see later. It raises another question as to how many dimensions will be needed. In general MDS is used mostly for a two dimensional solution. If the researcher has a priori knowledge that more than two dimensions may be required then it has to be planned at the data collection stage itself. If you need more dimensions you will need to get rating on more number of stimuli. The rule is that for every dimension you need a minimum of three stimuli. If you need a three dimensional solution you need to have at least 9 stimuli (in this case countries) rated on a dissimilarity scale. However, if we have data collected from multiple respondents we use the criteria of Stress. If the stress (measure of mis-fit) value is more than 0.03 then go for more dimensions. Here we had only one respondent rating the countries. In a survey typically we will have several respondents rating the stimuli. In the case of tooth-paste survey, we had a total of 43 valid responses to the MDS question (i.e. question 8).

a Stress of initial configuration: simplex start. b The iteration process has stopped because Improvement has become less than the convergence criterion. Stress value of 0.05555 is a little too high to make any meaningful interpretation. You will notice another large table that gives the stress decomposed for every individual. Notice that respondents 6,20,23,38,39,41,47,58 and 6y9nhave stress values above 0.07. If we leave out these respondents and run MDS analysis, we can possibly get a solution with lowered stress values. Alternately, we may try for a solution with more than two dimensions.

We could plot two at a time to study the relative positioning of brands. However we‘ll need to interpret the dimensions. We used a subjective method of interpretation in the case of six countries. It will be difficult in the case of toothpaste brands as we have a three dimensional solution. We shall use regression method to fit attributes on to the same map where the brands are positioned. Use file mds4.sav to get the co-ordinates for the attributes. Note that the mean ratings of brands on different attributes and three factors are going to be used for this analysis. Perform a multiple regression analysis with the mean rating of attributes as dependent variable and the co-ordinates for the brands as independent variables. The resulting β values give the three co-ordinates for the attributes concerned. ANALYZE REGRESSION LINEAR

Only the long vectors belong to this space. Attributes A3, A1, A6 etc. are too short and need not be considered while interpreting the meaning of Dimensions 1 and 2. Also we can rotate the axis as shown in the picture to get better meaning of the space. You can see that Dimension 1 is basically attribute A7, namely Band Image and Dimension 2 is comprised of attributes A4 and A5 (Good Taste and Likeable Flavor). Crest and Colgate are seen to have a good brand Image. Pepsodent is high on Dimension 2, namely flavor and taste. This result is consistent with the earlier findings. To name dimension 3, plot dim1 Vs dim3. From the plot notice that Dimension 3 comprises of A8 + A9 and A2 + A1 (Color + Attractive Packaging & Fighting cavities + white teeth). Dimension 1 is clearly made up of A7 (brand image) only. In the same way plot dim2 Vs dim3. Dimension 2 comes out as A4 and A5 (Taste and flavor) and dim 3 remains as a combination of four attributes A1, A2, A8 and A9.

Executive Summary• A study on toothpaste market was carried out among the university
students during September-November, 2003 to asses the preferences and to evaluate new product ideas.
• The study was done in two phases. The qualitative phase used focus groups to understand the nature of the market and to come up with a number of new product ideas. In the quantitative phase, aquestionnaire was developed and administered to 70 students.
• Respondent Profile– The sample comprised of 15 Graduate Students and 55 undergraduate
students from Orfalea College of Business.– 35 were males and 35 were female students.– 58 of them were below the age of 25– The sample had a wide income distribution– In terms of ethnicity 80% were whites

Executive Summary - Continued• Awareness Trial and Usage:
– Major Brands – Colgate, Aqua-fresh and Crest have close to 100 percent awareness while others have low levels of awareness
– On an average each respondent is aware of 4 to 5 brands.– The three major brands – Aqua-fresh, Colgate and Crest have close to
95% trial– Every person has tried 4 brands on an average– Crest has a larger share (35.7%) compared to the other two major
brands Colgate (28.6%)and Aqua-fresh (14.3%) though they match Crest in terms of awareness and trial. The niche brands Mentadent and Arm&Hammer have reasonable shares.
– 5 out of 70 respondents have two current brands– Current Brand Vs previous brand analysis shows that there is very low
level of Brand Loyalty is seen. Crest has the highest retention figure of 37.5%. People seek variety. This offers great opportunity for manufacturers to offer variety through innovative ingredients.

Executive Summary - Continued• Benefits Sought and Benefit Segmentation
– The most Important benefit is `Freshening of Breath’ with an average score of 6.3 on a 1 to 7 Importance scale and the least Important attribute is `Attractive Packaging’ with a score of 3.4. The high Standard Deviation (Above 1.3) for all the attributes except `Freshening Breath’ indicates that there are segments that seek differing benefits.
– The derived importance of benefits obtained by correlating rating of brands on attributes with overall rating showed a different pattern.
– The stated importance was plotted against derived importance andinterpreted using Kano model. The delight attributes are brand image and innovative features which have low stated and high derived importance. Cleaning stains/tartar is a minimum expected attribute.
– Cluster analysis of the Importance ratings yielded the following three benefit segments.
• Cluster 1 has 12 respondents and the attributes that they look for are – fighting cavities, whitening teeth and American Dental Association Recommendation –This can be named as the `dental care’ segment.
• Cluster 2 with 16 respondents is interested in `sensory benefits’ – good taste, likeable flavor and white teeth.
• Cluster 3 with 42 respondents want a bit of everything – we shall call this a la carte cluster.
– 50% of cluster 2 members use Colgate which clearly indicates that Colgate is perceived to be high on Oral sensory benefits. 42.9% of a la carte cluster uses Crest which indicates that Crest is seen as a balanced tooth paste offering dental care as well as sensory benefits.

Executive Summary - Continued• Competitive Positioning of Brands
– Crest scores over the other two competitors on all attributes. Colgate scores over Aqua Fresh on all attributes except Attractive Packaging.
– Correspondence Map of Brand-Personality Profile Indicates the following• Crest is seen to be used by Ambitious Achiever• Colgate is seen to be used by Traditional, overcautious, masculine person• Aqua Fresh is seen as Fun-loving, Feminine and Outgoing.• There is no brand available for Romantic, sensuous types… Opportunity for new product
– MDS based positioning indicates the following:• Crest and Colgate are seen as very similar.• Mentadent, Arm&Hammer and Pepsodent are seen to be of a different category.• Aqua Fresh stands out as a unique category.
– Factor analysis of brand ratings resulted in the three factors listed below and positioning was done on those three factors.
• The first factor can be named as `Dental Hygiene’ as it comprises of Cleaning Stains/Tartar, Fighting Cavities, Whitening Teeth and Freshening Breath. The variable Innovative features/Ingredients are seen as offering dental hygiene as well as contributing to the second factor on Visibility/Brand Image.
• The Second Factor is `visibility’ in the store and in the media comprising of Attractive Packaging, Color and Brand Image
• The third variable refers to `sensory benefits’ – Flavor and Taste

Executive Summary - Continued• Evaluation of New Product Ideas
– 13 new product ideas were rated for intention to buy and the following four got short-listed as best ideas.
o Transparent tube to see how much is left insideo Toothpaste containing multi-vitamino Tube fitted with dispenser for right amounto Toothpaste containing colored beads and flavor crystals
• More males prefer Night-paste with sleep inducers more females prefer Toothpaste with weight control formulae
• Members of the oral sensation cluster have a higher preference for a paste with weight-control formulae
• Conjoint analysis indicates that taste and price are the two most important attributes• Transparent tube appears to be the preferred choice of majority of respondents
• Psycho-graphic Segmentation– Factor analysis of the ratings of 24 statements yielded eight factors.– These eight factor scores were clustered to arrive at the following five segments
• Cluster 1 - Middle of the Road• Cluster 2 - Creative /Unique • Cluster 3 - Goal Directed Rebels• Cluster 4 - Systematic Achiever• Cluster 5 - Inner Directed individual
– The relationship between brand used and the psycho graphic segments is not statistically significant. Large sample sizes will be needed to establish firm relationships.

Benefits Sought & Benefit Segmentation - Summary
• The most Important benefit is `Freshening of Breath’ with an average score of 6.3 on a 1 to 7 Importance scale and the least Important attribute is `Attractive Packaging’ with a score of 3.4. The high Standard Deviation (Above 1.3) for all the attributes except `Freshening Breath’ indicates that there are segments that seek differing benefits.
• The derived importance of benefits obtained by correlating rating of brands on attributes with overall rating showed a different pattern.
• The stated importance was plotted against derived importance and interpreted using Kano model. The delight attributes are brand image and innovative features which have low stated and high derived importance. Cleaning stains/tartar is a minimum expected attribute.
• Cluster analysis of the Importance ratings yielded the following three benefit segments.
– Cluster 1 has 12 respondents and the attributes that they look for are – fighting cavities, whitening teeth and American Dental Association Recommendation – This can be named as the `dental care’ segment.
– Cluster 2 with 16 respondents is interested in `sensory benefits’ – good taste, likeable flavor and white teeth.
– Cluster 3 with 42 respondents want a bit of everything – we shall call this a la cartecluster.
• 50% of cluster 2 members use Colgate which clearly indicates that Colgate is perceived to be high on Oral sensory benefits. 42.9% of a la carte cluster uses Crest which indicates that Crest is seen as a balanced tooth paste offering dental care as well as sensory benefits.

Psycho-graphic Segmentation -Summary
• Factor analysis of the ratings of 24 statements yielded eight factors.
• These eight factor scores were clustered to arrive at the following five segments– Cluster 1 - Middle of the Road– Cluster 2 - Creative /Unique – Cluster 3 - Goal Directed Rebels– Cluster 4 - Systematic Achiever– Cluster 5 - Inner Directed individual
• The relationship between brand used and the psycho graphic segments is not statistically significant. Large sample sizes will be needed to establish firm relationships.
