Marketing Mix Modeling Course
This free Marketing Mix Modeling Course by MASS Analytics provides a solid understanding of Data Processing in MMM.
Data processing is one of the most important steps in the marketing mix workflow. This stems from the variables that need to be transformed before being ingested into the model. In this series of videos, we explore several processors that allow the analyst to get data ready for the model.
Episode 1
Media Transformation in Marketing Mix Modeling
In this video we explore the following processors:
- Decay/AdStock: it describes the percentage of the message that is lost period on period.
- Diminishing Returns: it depicts the fact that as spend increases, the sales generated will increase as well, but at a decreasing pace until it reaches full saturation.
Episode 2
Data Smoothing in Marketing Mix Modeling
In this video we explore the following processors:
- Moving Average: It smoothens the input variable by sliding a window and calculating the local average using that window.
- Median Filter: replaces each data entry with the median of neighboring entries. The pattern of neighbors is called the “window”, which slides, entry by entry, over the entire variable.
- Seasonality: Detecting a seasonal pattern in sales is very important when dealing with highly seasonal products/ packages
Episode 3
Data Splitting in Marketing Mix Modeling
In this video we explore the following processors:
- Splitter
- Split Region
- Edit.
