MIS771 - Descriptive Analytics and Visualisation Trimester 1, 2019 Page 3 of 10 Case Study (Background to Mad Dog Craft Beer) Mad Dog Craft Beer, is an Australian micro-brewery company with less than fifteen years of experience in brewing ale. Despite its limited operations in Melbourne and regional Victoria, the company has experienced fast growth in its production and sales in the past couple of years. In 2018, the company reported increasing its brewing capacity to 3 million litres per year to meet the increasing demand of its pale ale beer. Mad Dog Craft Beer sells pale ale to two market segments: a) pubs, bars and restaurants and b) bottleshops. Their beer is sold to these market segments either directly to the buyer or indirectly through a sales representative. Despite their successful operations and solid financial turnovers in the last two years, Mad Dog Craft Beer is forecasting a shift in business climate within the next five years. This is a result of the ever-increasing popularity of craft beer among Victorians and emergence of micro-brewery culture in this region. Now more than ever, Mad Dog Craft Beer management feels the need to ensure a strong relationship with its customer base. In addition, they are planning to put in place a formal procedure to forecast their beer production. This would help Mad Dog Craft Beer accurately project future supply and demand and adjust production needs accordingly. Subsequently, Mad Dog Craft Beer has approached BEAUTIFUL-DATA (a market research company) and asked them to conduct a large-scale survey of their clients to better understand the characteristics of Mad Dog Craft Beer’s customers, and their repurchase intention. Data Collection Process (Conducted by BEAUTIFUL-DATA) To address Mad Dog Craft Beer’s concerns, BEAUTIFUL-DATA has contacted Mad Dog Craft Beer’s clients and encouraged them to participate in an online survey. The collected data are then supplemented by other information compiled and stored in Mad Dog Craft Beer’s datamarts and accessible through its decision support system (DSS). Primary Database (accessible via mdcb.xlsx file) The primary database consists of 200 observations. There are three types of information in this database. The first group of information comes from Mad Dog Craft Beer’s data warehouse and includes information about the customer such loyalty in years, type, region, and distribution channel. The second group of information relates to the customers’ perceptions of Mad Dog Craft Beer on nine attributes. Mad Dog Craft Beer’s customers were asked to rate the company on nine attributes using a 1 – 10 scale. The third group of information relates to quantity ordered and business relationships (e.g., number of bottles bought from Mad Dog Craft Beer; and the likelihood of recommending Mad Dog Craft Beer to others). A complete listing of variables, their definitions, and an explanation of their coding are provided in mdcb.xlsx file. MIS771 - Descriptive Analytics and Visualisation Trimester 1, 2019 Page 4 of 10 Your Role as a BEAUTIFUL-DATA Data Analyst Intern You are a graduate student doing an internship at BEAUTIFUL-DATA. The research team manager (Todd Nash, with a PhD in Data Science and a Master Degree in Digital Marketing) has asked you to lead the data analysis process for the Mad Dog Craft Beer project and directly report the results to him. You and Todd just finished a meeting wherein he briefed you on the primary purpose of the project. Todd explained that a model should be built to estimate Order Quantity. Therefore, the first goal is to identify critical factors that influence the quantity ordered. Todd is also interested in gaining more profound insights into factors that predict the likelihood of current clients to recommend Mad Dog Craft Beer’s products to others. The final goal is to construct a model which forecast Mad Dog Craft Beer’s Pale Ale production in the upcoming four quarters. From these insights, Mad Dog Craft Beer will be in an excellent position to develop plans for the next financial year. Todd also allocated relevant research tasks and explained his expectations from your analysis in the meeting. Minutes of this meeting are available on the next page. Now, your job is to review and complete the allocated tasks as per this document.

Detailed Action Items Who: Graduate Intern What: 1. Provide an overall summary of the following two variables: 1.1. Order_Qty 1.2. Recommend 2. Identifying potential factors that may influence Order_ Qty: 2.1. An appropriate statistical technique could be used here to identify a list of possible factors. 2.2. Build a model (through a model building process) to estimate the Order_ Qty. 2.3. Todd has done a separate regression analysis and found that the perception of beer quality is a significant predictor of the quantity ordered. In line with his findings, prior research shows that the strength of this relationship may vary according to brand image. That is, customers tend to associate the brand image with product quality. Therefore, Todd believes that the relationship between quality and quantity ordered should be stronger for those who have a more favourable perception of a brand. Your task here is to test Todd’s assumption by modelling the interaction between the predictors mentioned above and the target variable. Comment whether there is sufficient evidence that the interaction term makes a significant contribution to the model.

Introduction
The dependent variable is quantity ordered and recommendation. The independent variables are Loyalty, Customer Type, Region, Distribution Channel, Quality, SM Presence, Advert, and Brand Image, comp Pricing, Order Fulfilment, Flex Price, Shipping Speed, Shipping Cost, Order Quantity, and Recommend. The technique of descriptive statistics is used to analyse the order quantity and recommendation. The technique of correlation analysis can be helpful to identify the factors which affect the order quantity. A regression equation is constructed to predict the quantity ordered on the basis of identified factors. A logistic regression equation is created to predict the probability of recommendation. 
The dependent variable Pale Ale production (litres) is predicted for 2nd quarter 2019, 3rd quarter 2019, 4th quarter 2019, and 1st quarter 2020. The technique of regression analysis is used for prediction. 
Analysis
Task 1
The average number of bottles ordered by the customer is 7665 with a low standard deviation of 0.89 units. The distribution of bottles order by the customer is approximately normally distributed as skewness is equal to -0.2.
