Study Notes
Advertising Dataset Analysis
- The dataset tracks spending on TV, radio, and newspaper advertising, and corresponding sales figures.
- The goal is to analyze the relationship between advertising expenditure and sales for each medium (TV, radio, and newspaper) individually and then combined.
- A strong positive correlation exists between TV ad spending and sales.
- A moderate positive correlation exists between radio ad spending and sales.
- A weak positive correlation exists between newspaper ad spending and sales.
Correlation Matrix
- A correlation matrix displays the relationships between pairs of variables (e.g., TV ads and sales, radio ads and sales, newspaper ads and sales)
- The correlation between TV ads and sales is 0.782 (strong positive)
- The correlation between Radio ads and sales is 0.576 (moderate positive)
- The correlation between Newspaper ads and sales is 0.228 (weak positive)
Predicting Sales Based on TV Ads
- Predicting sales based on TV ad spending is likely to be more accurate than predicting sales based on other ad types.
- Sales is a random variable for a fixed amount x spent on TV ads.
- The average sales for a given TV ad spend (x) is approximated by the conditional expectation E[Sales|TV = x], which is represented as Ŷ(x)=α₀+α₁x
Linear Regression for Predicting Sales
-
Simple linear regression is used to model the relationship between TV advertising and sales.
-
The model is represented as μx = α₀ + α₁x, where
- α₀ is the y-intercept
- α₁ is the slope of the line
-
The parameters (α₀ and α₁) are estimated from the dataset by maximizing the likelihood function.
-
Calculating the parameters involves minimizing the residual sum of squares (RSS), which is a measure of the difference between observed and predicted sales values
Finding the Line of Best Fit
Method:
- Read the advertising dataset into Python.
- Extract the TV and Sales columns from the dataset.
- Calculate the parameters α₀ and α₁ using linear regression
- Generate a scatter plot showing the data points and the best-fit line (obtained from step 2.)
