Small Data? How market research experiments add to predictive capabilities.</p> <p>Traditionally Market Research has run highly controlled experiments and built descriptive models of the data gathered. The data has typically been anything from a few hundred to a few thousand responses, but the exact make-up of the responses is well known and highly controlled. Now that we also have access to ‘Big Data’ (whatever that means) from transactional or social sources, the question arises: “Is there still value of Small Data and controlled experiments?” In this lively talk we will show how a blended Small+Big approach gives our customers the “best of both worlds”.</p> <p>Chris Robson and Scott Laing are principals of Parametric Marketing, a Quantitative Research and Advanced Analytics company located in Vancouver, Washington.
