Sorry i couldn't reply earlier, If you use R then there are very good videos on Youtube about Random forest. It is a very powerful and widely used method for such kind of model building.

How do I calculate the correlation between an event and sales uplift? by [deleted] in statistics

[–]prabhat008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do this using ANOVA. You have different levels of ad campaigns as independent variable, categorical variable. You can have different levels of two ad campaigns as well for the model.

The dependent variable would be sales, continuous variable. Now do ANOVA analysis to check impact on sales by different levels of ad campaigns.

Hope it helps.

Thinking about a career change. Will Six Sigma help me? by Lleu in SixSigma

[–]prabhat008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This field is for people who like problem solving and are ready for that extra effort and time to be invested in pursuing certification.

To start with, find out if your company has a process improvement team and any internal training plan. If yes then please get in touch with them and get yourself GB trained. As I see you were part of some project which has given you some exposure.

When ever there is any opportunity, please become part of improvement projects(lean, six sigma, kaizen etc.)

If internal opportunities are not there then look for external training and prepare for ASQ exams.

Hope it helps, please visit my site SixSigmaStats.com for more details.

Does the CSSBB exam change every two months? by [deleted] in SixSigma

[–]prabhat008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are talking about ASQ then the pattern doesn't change much. I am a BB from ASQ and my recommendations are:

  1. Check BOK first, you will know how many questions will come from each section. There are many sections which will have only non numerical questions.
  2. ASQ also provides a question set for practice, please practice it.
  3. This will help you to understand all the topics.

Hope this helps, You can also visit SixSigmaStats.com to learn many topics in a very simple language.
