Study Notes
Course Information
- Course: Marketing Research
- Section: B
- Instructor: Dr. Yuyan Wei
- Term: Fall 2024
- Course Code: MARK 302
Chapter 14: Regression Analysis
- Topic: More powerful statistical methods
- Topic: Week 9
- Topic: Tests for relational hypothesis
- Topic: Regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between variables
- Topic: Bivariate regression analyzes the relationship between one independent (predictor) and one dependent variable
- Topic: Multiple regression analyzes the relationship between two or more independent (predictor) variables and one dependent variable
- Topic: Regression analysis does not prove causation but can show correlation and relationships
Linear Relationship
- Description: A linear relationship exists when there's a consistent relationship between variables and they have a linear pattern
- Example: Salesperson's monthly salary = base salary + commission per unit sold, e.g., $2,500 + $100 x units sold
- Equation: Y = a + bX
- Y: dependent variable
- X: independent variable
- a: intercept (base salary)
- b: slope (commission)
Regression Line
- Description: The regression line is a straight line that best represents the relationship between independent and dependent variable in a scatterplot
- Equation: Y = a + bX + e
- Y: dependent variable
- â: estimated intercept
- b: estimated slope / coefficient
- X: independent variable
- e: error (difference between actual and predicted value)
Regression Analysis - Interpret Results
- Assumptions: b = 0 (no relationship vs. b ≠ 0 (relationship exists between variables)
- The simple regression statistical test produces p-value based on F-statistic for the hypothesis and estimates and intercepts
- R² / adjusted R²: measures percentage of variance in the dependent variable explained by the independent variable
- Significance level α (e.g., 0.1, 0.05, 0.01); if p-value ≤ α, reject null hypothesis
Interpreting Results – Face Validity
- Examine if the intercept and coefficients make sense in practice; are positive or negative coefficients meaningful for that context
In-Class Exercise #1
- Topic: Regression Analysis of Price and Advertising on Energy Drink Sales
- Steps to interpret Results
- Step 1: Use statistical equations to illustrate the relationship between variables
- Step 2: Check the P-value of F-stats
- Step 3: Check the P-value of t-stats
- Step 4: Interpret Adjusted R² (e.g., how much variation can be explained with the independent variables)
In-Class Exercise #2
- Topic: Regression Analysis of Transportation Costs for a Company
- Variables
- X₁: number of cargos per shipment
- X₂: weight of cargo
- Y: transportation costs
- Interpret a,b₁ and b₂
- Evaluate face validity in context (e.g. negative coefficient may seem counterintuitive; consider cost model elements that might cause regression to seem invalid)
Multiple Regression Analysis
- Equation: Y = a + b₁X₁ + b₂X₂ + … + bₙXₙ + e
- Y = dependent variable
- â = estimated intercept
- bᵢ= estimated slope / coefficient of
- Xᵢ = independent variables
- e = error term
- Hypotheses:
- H₀: No relationship between independent and dependent variables (b₁ = b₂= … = bₙ = 0)
- H₁: At least one independent variable affects the dependent variable (at least one bᵢ ≠ 0)
Multiple Regression Analysis - Interpret Results
- Describe how to interpret information from Excel outputs
- Step 1: Equation
- Step 2: Verify P-value (F-Stats). Verify statistical significance
- Step 3: Verify P-value of t-stats (individual variables). Determine whether a variable has a relationship with the dependent variable
- Step 4: Verify Adjusted R²
- Step 5: Check Face Validity (Examine the findings to make sense of the coefficients)
