ā¢ Data entry: refers to the creation of a computer
file that holds the raw data taken from all of the
questionnaires deemed suitable for analysis
ā¢ Data coding: refers to the identification of codes
that pertain to the possible responses for each
question on the questionnaire
ā¢ Data code book: identifies all of the variable
names and code numbers associated with each
possible response to each question that makes
up the data set
3. Types of Statistical Analyses Used in
Marketing Research
Data Reduction
ā¢ Data reduction: the process of describing a data
matrix by computing a small number of measures
that characterize the data set
ā¢ Four functions of data reduction:
ā¢ Summarizes the data
ā¢ Applies understandable conceptualizations
ā¢ Communicates underlying patterns
ā¢ Generalizes sample findings to the population
5. Types of Statistical Analyses Used in

ā¢ Inferential analysis: used to generate conclusions
about the populationās characteristics based on the
sample data
ā¢ Differences analysis: used to compare the mean of
the responses of one group to that of another group

single piece of information that describes the

ā¢ Measures of variability: used to reveal the
typical difference between the values in a set
of values
7. Understanding Data Via Descriptive Analysis
Measures of Central Tendency
ā¢ Mode: the value in a string of numbers that
occurs most often
ā¢ Median: the value whose occurrence lies in the
middle of a set of ordered values
ā¢ Mean: sometimes referred to as the āarithmetic
meanā; the average value characterizing a set of
numbers
8. Understanding Data Via Descriptive Analysis
Measures of Variability
ā¢ Frequency distribution: reveals the number
(percent) of occurrences of each number or set of
numbers
ā¢ Range: identifies the maximum and minimum
values in a set of numbers
ā¢ Standard deviation: indicates the degree of
variation in a way that can be translated into a
bell-shaped curve distribution
