STATISTICAL DISCOVERY IN CONSUMER
AND MARKET RESEARCH

A CHANGING
LANDSCAPE . . .
. . . WITH SOME ENDURING THEMES
• Marketing is complex and driven by rapidly evolving digital technologies.
• Yet core business issues endure: finding the most profitable growth
opportunities, developing the best products and services, taking the best
marketing action, and maximizing cross-business impact.
• In addition to a constant focus on the customer — current or potential — one
of the imperatives is to be data-driven.
• Data is ubiquitous in all aspects of finding consumers and making them
happy, from introducing new products or services, to positioning, branding,
advertising, segmentation and promotion.
• Although the digital revolution offers the promise to positively change the
dynamic with consumers, this opportunity will be realized only if you can
successfully leverage new data to better understand what specific groups of
consumers really want and how you can best meet, or even shape, their
needs.

BROAD AREAS IN
WHICH DATA ARISE
Descriptive
Research
Usually builds on prior
exploration to describe
markets, segments,
competitors and
consumers. It’s also used to
measure performance
within an agreed
framework, usually on an
ongoing basis
Exploratory
Research
Ill-defined problems and
opportunities relating to
consumers are usually
clarified and refined using a
combination of interviews,
focus groups and
observational and
ethnographic studies.
Causal
Research
Establishing cause requires
an explanatory theory, a
statistical relationship,
correct time ordering, and
adequate control of any
other Xs considered as
extraneous.
Sensory
Studies
Aim to understand how our
human senses will
contribute to the overall
experience of consuming or
using a product.
Predicting
Behaviour
Y's are predicted from X's
using observational data,
usually already available.
While falling short of
establishing causality,
predictions of future
consumer behavior, if they
are trustworthy, can still be
incredibly valuable.

Y2 = Signal Function2(X1, X2, X3) + Nuisance Function2(X4, X5, X6)
The ‘Nuisance Functions’ or ‘Noise Functions’ are give rise to the Variation in the
outcomes of interest.

THE FUNDAMENTAL
CHALLENGE OF
WORKING WITH
DATA
THE PROBLEM OF INDUCTION
Given a body of data that has been collected, make a useful separation into
Signal and Noise.

UserInterface
Particularly in Marketing
applications, in which
users tend not to be
(and should not be?)
“statistical experts”, the
User Interface is very
important

BUT WAIT!
THE WORLD IS FULL OF SOFTWARE – WHAT’S SPECIAL
ABOUT JMP?
Confirmatory Data Analysis
(CDA)
“Hypothesis Testing”
Exploratory Data Analysis
(EDA)
“Hypothesis Generation”

1. Data visualization, done properly, is very powerful and effective.
2. Statistical analysis, done properly (and defined broadly to include things
like experimental design and predictive modeling) is also very powerful
and effective, but in a different way.
3. Tightly integrating the two creates a synergy that is much more
powerful and effective than either one alone.
STATISTICAL
DISCOVERY

JMP . . .
• Is a SAS product (dating from 1989) with hundreds of man-years of development.
• Provides ‘Statistical Discovery’ on the desktop using an in-memory architecture.
• Can act as a client to SAS.
• Can interoperate with other software.
• Makes it easy to build ‘applications’ with the JMP look and feel.
• Easily deploys such applications via ‘add-ins’.
