Fundamentals of Data Analysis
Marketing Research 10th Edition http://www.drvkumar.com/mr10/
Data Analysis
• A set of methods and techniques used to obtain
information and insights from data
• Helps avoid erroneous judgments and conclusions
• Can constructively influence the research objectives and
the research design
3
Major Data Preparation techniques:
• Data editing
• Coding
• Statistically adjusting the data
Marketing Research 10th Edition http://www.drvkumar.com/mr10/
Data Editing• Identifies omissions, ambiguities, and errors in
responses
• Conducted in the field by interviewer and field supervisor and by the analyst prior to data analysis
• Problems identified with data editing:▫ Interviewer Error▫ Omissions▫ Ambiguity▫ Inconsistencies▫ Lack of Cooperation▫ Ineligible Respondent

Coding•Coding closed-ended questions involves
specifying how the responses are to be entered
•Open-ended questions are difficult to code ▫Lengthy list of possible responses is generated
5

Statistically Adjusting the DataWeighting• Each response is assigned a number according to a pre-
specified rule
• Makes sample data more representative of target population on specific characteristics
• Modifies number of cases in the sample that possess certain characteristics
• Adjusts the sample so that greater importance is attached to respondents with certain characteristics
6

Statistically Adjusting the Data (Contd.) Variable Re-specification• Existing data is modified to create new variables
• Large number of variables collapsed into fewer variables
• Creates variables that are consistent with study objectives
• Dummy variables are used
▫ Binary, dichotomous, instrumental, quantitative variables)
• Use (d-1) dummy variables to specify (d) levels of qualitative variable

Statistically Adjusting the Data (Contd.)Scale Transformation• Scale values are manipulated to ensure comparability with other
scales
• Standardization allows the researcher to compare variables that have been measured using different types of scales
• Variables are forced to have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one
• Can be done only on interval or ratio scaled data
• Standardized score,

Simple Tabulation
•Consists of counting the number of cases that fall into various categories
9
Uses: •Determine empirical distribution (frequency distribution) of the variable in question
•Calculate summary statistics, particularly the mean or percentages
•Aid in "data cleaning" aspects
Marketing Research 10th Edition http://www.drvkumar.com/mr10/
Frequency Distribution• Reports the number of responses that each
question received• Organizes data into classes or groups of values• Shows number of observations that fall into
each class• Can be illustrated simply as a number or as a
percentage or histogram• Response categories may be combined for
many questions• Should result in categories with worthwhile
number of respondents

Frequency Distribution
11
Marketing Research 10th Edition http://www.drvkumar.com/mr10/
Descriptive Statistics
• Statistics normally associated with a frequency distribution to help summarize information in the frequency table
• Includes:
▫Measures of central tendency mean, median and mode
▫Measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation)
▫Measures of shape (skewness and kurtosis)
12
Marketing Research 10th Edition http://www.drvkumar.com/mr10/
Cross Tabulations
• Statistical analysis technique to study the relationships among and between variables
• Sample is divided to learn how the dependent variable varies from subgroup to subgroup
• Frequency distribution for each subgroup is compared to the frequency distribution for the total sample
• The two variables that are analyzed must be nominally scaled
13

Factors Influencing the Choice of Statistical Technique
Types of Data▫ Classification of data involves nominal, ordinal, interval
and ratio scales of measurement
▫ Nominal scaling is restricted in that mode is the only meaningful measure of central tendency
▫ Both median and mode can be used for ordinal scale
▫ Non-parametric tests can only be run on ordinal data
▫ Mean, median and mode can all be used to measure central tendency for interval and ratio scaled data
14

Factors Influencing the Choice of Statistical Technique (Contd.)
Research Design• Depends on:
▫ Whether dependent or independent samples are used
▫ Number of observations per object
▫ Number of groups being analyzed
▫ Number of variables
▫ Control exercised over variable of interest
15

Factors Influencing the Choice of Statistical Technique (Contd.)
Assumptions Underlying the Test Statistic
•Two-sample t-test :▫The samples are independent.
▫The characteristics of interest in each population have normal distribution.
▫The two populations have equal variances.
16

Overview of Statistical TechniquesUnivariate Techniques
▫ Appropriate when there is a single measurement of each of the 'n' sample objects or there are several measurements of each of the `n' observations but each variable is analyzed in isolation
▫ Nonmetric data - measured on nominal or ordinal scale
▫ Metric data - measured on interval or ratio scale
▫ Determine whether single or multiple samples are involved
▫ For multiple samples, choice of statistical test depends on whether the samples are independent or dependent

Marketing Research 10th Edition http://www.drvkumar.com/mr10/
Overview of Statistical Techniques (Contd.)Multivariate Techniques
• A collection of procedures for analyzing association between two or more sets of measurements that have been made on each object in one or more samples of objects
19
Uses:
• To group variables or people or objects
• To improve the ability to predict variables (such as
usage)
• To understand relationships between variables (such as
advertising and sales)

Classification of Multivariate Techniques (Contd.)Dependence Techniques• One or more variables can be identified as
dependent variables and the remaining as independent variables
• Choice of dependence technique depends on the number of dependent variables involved in analysis
Interdependence Techniques• Whole set of interdependent relationships is
examined• Further classified as having focus on variable or
objects
