Advanced Statistics
As part of SIS Integrated Research and our core competency in delivering “full” market insights, SIS incorporates robust quantitative statistical components with other forms of information gathering to achieve our client’s research needs. These advanced statistical tools are designed to elicit specific insights provide two major benefits. First, they can elicit unsaid insights about hidden attitudes and behavior. Second, these tools allow our researchers to make statistical projections for strategic decision making.
In understanding the weight that customers attribute to various product attributes, we use several choice models. These tools can include Discrete Choice, CBC Conjoint, Gap Analysis, Factor Analysis, Importance Scoring, and Cluster Analysis. These tools can have an impact on product promotion, brand positioning and some approaches for market segmentation
Our quantitative statistical analyses:
One statistical test is the Monte Carlo simulation. This advanced simulation allows our researchers to estimate market size, market potential, sales forecasting and lucrative price points.
Another technique is “Derived Importance.” The idea behind this technique is to reflect a consumer’s actual purchasing behavior, instead of just a consumer’s statements of important criteria for a product that do not reflect his true purchasing behavior. Thus, SIS can quantitatively analyze consumer attitudes, consumer behavior, or both. Attitude, as measured by stated importance, is a direct reflection of purchase motivation, or what the consumer believes leads him to buy. Behavior, as measured by derived importance, is an indirect measure of purchase motivation, but is actually what leads the consumer to buy. The required data encompasses attribute ratings on a wide range of brands within the consideration set. The dependent variable can be purchase intent, brand preference or purchasing behavior on the same brands.
Buyer Segments are a quick add-in when conducting consumer testing for products such as Consumer Goods, Food & Beverage, and Electronics & Computers. Data can be demonstrated in multidimensional visuals like Perceptual Maps, Correspondence maps, Multidimensional Scaling, BiPlots, Multidimensional Preference Maps and many other ways that effectively convey insights.
