Formulate the equation, find MAD, and explain the output. Rank variables based on their degree of contribution to the model. Observe significant F,R. B-squared, and p-values and explain. 13- Perform multiple linear regression analysis with Period, DIFF, and ADV as independent variables. Formulate the equation and find MAD. Which variable is the most significant predictor of demand? Rank the independent variables based on their degree of contribution to the model. Observe significant F, R, R-squared, and p-values and explain. 14- Use the model obtained in parts 13 and make forecasts for the following months. Make sure to seasonalize final forecasts. 15- Provide a case conclusion based on above analysis. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Jan.2019 & 37 & 6.9 & 6.0 & -0.9 & 10.1 & 19.0 \\ \hline & 38 & 6.9 & 6.3 & -0.6 & 10.2 & 19.0 \\ \hline & 39 & 6.7 & 6.5 & -0.2 & 10.5 & 19.8 \\ \hline & 40 & 7.0 & 6.0 & -1.0 & 10.3 & 19.8 \\ \hline & 41 & 7.1 & 6.1 & -1.0 & 9.9 & 20.0 \\ \hline & 42 & 7.2 & 6.3 & -0.9 & 10.5 & 20.9 \\ \hline & 43 & 7.2 & 6.4 & -0.8 & 10.6 & 19.6 \\ \hline & 44 & 7.3 & 6.5 & -0.8 & 10.5 & 19.5 \\ \hline & 45 & 7.2 & 6.0 & -1.2 & 11.6 & 18.4 \\ \hline & 46 & 7.1 & 6.2 & -0.9 & 10.1 & 19.3 \\ \hline & 47 & 6.9 & 5.9 & -1.0 & 10.3 & 19.3 \\ \hline & 48 & 7.2 & 6.0 & -1.2 & 10.7 & 17.2 \\ \hline & 49 & 7.3 & 6.4 & -0.9 & 10.9 & 20.0 \\ \hline & 50 & 7.4 & 6.5 & 0.9 & 10.8 & 20.1 \\ \hline & 51 & 7.5 & 6.5 & -1.0 & 11.1 & 20.1 \\ \hline & 52 & 7.0 & 6.2 & -0.8 & 11.2 & 20.2 \\ \hline & 53 & 6.8 & 6.8 & 0.0 & 11.6 & 21.1 \\ \hline & 54 & 7.4 & 6.9 & -0.5 & 11.5 & 20.6 \\ \hline & 55 & 7.3 & 6.5 & -0.8 & 11.6 & 20.7 \\ \hline & 56 & 7.3 & 6.9 & -0.4 & 11.9 & 21.3 \\ \hline & 57 & 7.2 & 7.0 & -0.2 & 11.8 & 21.4 \\ \hline & 58 & 7.5 & 6.8 & -0.7 & 11.9 & 21.5 \\ \hline & 59 & 7.5 & 6.8 & -0.7 & 11.9 & 21.8 \\ \hline & 60 & 7.5 & 6.5 & -1.0 & 11.9 & 19.2 \\ \hline & 61 & 7.5 & 6.2 & -1.3 & 12.0 & 21.6 \\ \hline & 62 & 7.4 & 5.9 & -1.5 & 12.1 & 22.1 \\ \hline & 63 & 7.2 & 5.6 & -1.6 & 12.6 & 22.5 \\ \hline & 64 & 7.3 & 5.3 & -2.0 & 12.3 & 22.4 \\ \hline & 65 & 7.6 & 5.0 & -2.6 & 12.1 & 22.1 \\ \hline & 66 & 7.4 & 5.2 & -2.2 & 12.5 & 22.5 \\ \hline & 67 & 8.0 & 5.5 & -2.5 & 12.5 & 22.6 \\ \hline & 68 & 8.1 & 6.0 & -2.1 & 13.2 & 22.9 \\ \hline & 69 & 8.2 & 6.5 & -1.7 & 13.5 & 23.2 \\ \hline & 70 & 8.1 & 6.5 & -1.6 & 14.5 & 23.0 \\ \hline & 71 & 8.1 & 6.0 & -2.1 & 14.2 & 23.2 \\ \hline & 72 & 8.4 & 6.5 & -1.9 & 14.9 & 22.9 \\ \hline \end{tabular} The Fresh Detergent Case Enterprise Industries produces Fresh, a brand of liquid detergent. In order to more effectively manage its inventory, the company would like to better predict demand for Freah. To develop a prediction model, the company has gathered data coaceming demand for Fresh over the last 84 sales periods. Each sales period is defined as one month. The variables are as follows: Demand =Y= demand for a large size bottle of Fresh (in 100,000 ) Price = the price of Fresh as offered by Ent. Industries AIP = the average industry price ADV = Ent. Industries Advertising Expenditure (in $100,000 ) to Promote Fresh in the sales period. DIFF = AIP - Price = the "price difference" in the sales period 1. Download the data from Course Blackboard site into Excel spreadsheet. 2- Make time series scatter plots of all five vanables (five graphs). Insert tread line, equation, and R-squared. Observe graphs and provide interpretation of results. 3. Construct scatter plots of Demand vs. DIFF and Demand vs. ADV, Demand vs. AIP, and Demand vs. Price. Insert fitted line, equation, and R-squared. Observe graphs and provide interpretation. Note that Demand is always on the Y axis. 4. Obtain the conrelation matrix for all six variables and list the variables that have strong correlation with Demand. High correlation is r>0.80. Explain your findings in plain language. 5- Use 3-month and 6-month moving avernges to predict the demand for January 2023. Find MAD for both forecasts and identify the preferred one based on each calculation. Is the moving average suitable method for forecasting for this data set? Explain your reasoning. 6- Use Exponential smoothing forecasts with alpha of 0.1,02,.0.9 to predict January 2023 demand. Identify the value of alpha that results in the lowest MAD. 7. Find the monthly seasonal indices for the demand values using Simple Average (SA) method. Find the de-seasonalized demand values by dividing monthly demand by seasonal indices. 8- Use regression to perform trend analysis oa the de-seasonalized demand values. Is trend analysis suitable for this data? Find MAD and explain the Excel Regression output (trend equation, r, r-squared, goodness of model). 9. Find the seasonally adjusted trend forecasts for Jamuary through March 2023. 10-Perform simple linear regressioa analysis with ADV as the independent variable to predict demand.
