Customer Loyalty Assessment based on Demographics

[pic 2]

  • Among predictors i.e. the demographic variables - Assessing based on the CHAID Analysis yields that only Gender is the predictor that gives a Chi Square value having statistical significance < .05 or 5% for the relation of its 2 categories with response variable 'Loyalty'. This means that the process of comparison between 2 categories of a predictor, repeated for each of the predictors merging the categories found not to have statistically significant relationship with response variable in earlier comparisons did not have any 2 categories of a predictor having a significant effect on loyalty of the customer for the brand except for Male and Female categories of Gender that show significant affect on customer loyalty.
  • As per the CHAID algorithm, the categories for Ordinal Variables are naturally defined and for continuous variables are taken in a bucket of 10 units(such as for Age).
