discriminant analysis

 Discriminant analysis 

 



A technique for analyzing data when the dependent variable is categorical on nominal scale. 

The predictor or independent variables are interval in nature. 

For e.g.: 

The dependent variable may be the choice of a brand of laptop (A, B and C) and the independent variables may be ratings of attributes on a 7-point Likert\ scale. 


When the dependent variable has two categories, the technique is known as two group discriminant analysis. 


When three or more categories are involved, the technique is referred to as multiple discriminant analysis. 


In two – group case, it is possible to derive only one discriminant function but in multiple discriminant analysis, more than one function may be computed.

scaling techniques

  A Classification of Scaling techniques   SCALING TECHNIQUES ARE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO   Comparative   Non-comparative     Comparative scales  involve  the direct comparison of stimulus objects. Comparative scale data must be interpreted in relative terms and have only ordinal or rank order properties.   Under comparative they are four kind of techniques   1.paired  comparison   2.rank order   3.constant sum   4.q sort  and other  procedures     In non-comparative scales, each object is scaled independently of the others in the stimulus set. The resulting data are generally assumed to be interval or ratio scaled.   Under non comparative scales they are two kinds   1.continuous rating scales   2.itemized rating scales   Again,  under itemized scaling they are three kind   1.likert   2.semantic differential   3.stapel     Paired comparison ...

Value Analysis and Value Engineering

Value Analysis is a standardized, multi-skilled team approach which aims at ascertaining the lowest cost way and guaranteeing the highest worth to complete the functions of a product, process or service. Value analysis means to evaluate product functions and value-to-cost ratios, and to find opportunities for costs reduction. Value Engineering denotes to the design stage. This methodology is commonly used for new products, therefore the same principles and techniques to pre-manufacturing stages such as concept development, design and prototyping are applied. Image source: Learnpick.in To sum up, VA / VE is a systematic and systemic method to increase the value of an item, which can be a product, system, process, procedure, plan, machine, equipment , tool, service or working method. Function analysis is measure of VA as its purpose is to recognize product functions compared to cost and price; design and construction assessment is done through VE with the goal of excluding elements whic...

what is GDP?

   HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE SIZE OF AN ENTIRE ECONOMY ?  let's say i buy a coffee here in Hyderabad for  RS 15  those  RS 15 are factored into the India's GDP  In fact most of what's around you is part of GDP  GDP  is an important gauge of the overall health of an economy . Its stands for gross domestic product simply puts , GDP measures the total valve of all goods and services in a country . that means it measures a lot of stuff  worth  a lot of money.  2019,  GDP  in  India  was at around 2.59 trillion U.S. dollars.  In the  US , the world's biggest economy , It's around $ 19 trillion every year.  HOW DO YOU GET THESE NUMBERS  ?  well  you calculate GDP in a few different ways , but the commonly used this equation goes like      GDP = C+ I+ G+ NX C= CONSUMPTION I= INVESTMENT G= GOVERNMENT SPENDING NX =NET EXPORTS CONSUMPTION  is another way of saying consume...
