Abstract:

Most automotive customers go online to research and shop for vehicles. Are they really providing a true signal for their wants and needs, or is it mostly noise? Maybe a combination of both? What's the best we can do as manufacturers with this kind of data? We can discuss key statistical issues, such as sampling and prediction, that arise in this context.
