Assignment
1. Open the excel file and check the correlation between each ‘IMP'(impression) and ‘SP’.
2. Create visualization to see the distribution of ‘Sales’. How’s the trend of sales over the months?
3. Create visualization between each ‘IMP’ and ‘SP’. How’s the trend of each ‘IMP’ and ‘SP’?
4. Check the segmentation of ‘AVERAGE_PRICE’ and ‘MEDIA_SPEND_of_competitor’ for ‘Holiday’. Does ‘MEDIA_SPEND_of_competitor’ have an impact on ‘AVERAGE_PRICE’? (hint: you can use Excel PivotTable to solve this question)
5. Check the segmentation of ‘Sales’ on each ‘PROMOTION’. Does ‘PROMOTION’ boost ‘Sales’?
6. Try to impute a linear regression model to check the coefficient for ‘IMP’ and ‘SP’. Summarize the output of the linear regression model, e.g. p-value, r square.
7. Optional question: Analyze the contributions to the sales for each marketing channel and calculate the ROI (Return of Investment) of each marketing channel. (hint: research on marketing mix modeling method)
