BUYING FUTURE [11 records]

Record 1 2022-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
DEF

The incidence of storms within a given time.

CONT

The tropics are a region of excess heating from the sun and of towering cloud convection and rainfall in narrow latitudinal bands. Compared with areas at higher latitudes, the frequency of storms and the average strength of the winds are low.

CONT

The storm frequency is calculated by counting only the number of storms that occurred within the period between buying and selling. We focus on this number because the previous owner's storm experience or future storms that occur after the date of sale do not affect the seller's perceptions of risk.

French

  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
CONT

Certains chercheurs suggèrent logiquement que l'augmentation de l'activité nuageuse convective (les cumulus) pourrait entraîner une augmentation de la fréquence des orages, de la foudre et de la grêle.

A psychographic study "joins consumers’ measurable demographic characteristics with the more abstract aspects of attitudes, opinions and interests". Data mining specialists code demographic, media, purchasing and psychographic data from surveys, throw them together and analyze them until some groups with shared characteristics can be distinguished from all other groups. They can identify those groups most likely to buy specific produts and services by including questions relating to a product about past buying habits or future intentions to purchase. Every king of psychographic study adds the dimension of psychology and/or lifestyles to a demographic inquiry and uses quantitative survey techniques.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

La Division de la promotion des programmes a commandé une nouvelle étude psychographique visant à identifier de nouveaux marchés-cibles et à décrire les valeurs et habitudes de vie distinguant chaque groupe. Les études psychographiques cherchent à interpréter les pensées et les motivations des consommateurs. En mettant l'accent sur les principaux intérêts, aspirations, croyances, préjugés, opinions et habitudes d'achat, non seulement peut-on identifier des segments importants du marché, mais encore peut-on brosser un tableau du marché-cible, et mieux connaître les illustrations et expression susceptible de capter son attention et de l'amener à s'identifier au message.
