Distributional data analysis is a branch of nonparametric statistics that is related to functional data analysis.It is concerned with random objects that are probability distributions, i.e., the statistical analysis of samples of random distributions where each atom of a sample is a distribution.
Two statistical models are nested if the first model can be transformed into the second model by imposing constraints on the parameters of the first model. As an example, the set of all Gaussian distributions has, nested within it, the set of zero-mean Gaussian distributions: we constrain the mean in the set of all Gaussian distributions to get ...
The Bass diffusion model is used to estimate the size and growth rate of these social networks. The work by Christian Bauckhage and co-authors [10] shows that the Bass model provides a more pessimistic picture of the future than alternative model(s) such as the Weibull distribution and the shifted Gompertz distribution.
This model is also known in econometrics as the rank ordered logit model and it was introduced in that field by Beggs, Cardell and Hausman in 1981. [32] [33] One application is the Combes et al. paper explaining the ranking of candidates to become professor. [33] It is also known as Plackett–Luce model in biomedical literature. [33] [34] [35]
Wishart distribution; Multivariate Student-t distribution. The Inverse-Wishart distribution is important in Bayesian inference, for example in Bayesian multivariate linear regression. Additionally, Hotelling's T-squared distribution is a multivariate distribution, generalising Student's t-distribution, that is used in multivariate hypothesis ...
Penetration models – use test market data to develop acceptance equations of expected sales volume as a function of time. Three examples of penetration models are: Bass trial only model; Bass declining trial model; Fourt and Woodlock model; Trial/Repeat models – number of repeat buyers is a function of the number of trial buyers.
Marketing mix modeling (MMM) is an analytical approach that uses historic information to quantify impact of marketing activities on sales. Example information that can be used are syndicated point-of-sale data (aggregated collection of product retail sales activity across a chosen set of parameters, like category of product or geographic market) and companies’ internal data.
The variables available in the data collected for this task are: the tip amount, total bill, payer gender, smoking/non-smoking section, time of day, day of the week, and size of the party. The primary analysis task is approached by fitting a regression model where the tip rate is the response variable. The fitted model is
