hello?
 
Hello.
Let me share the data.
 
Ok...
the process of estimating the parameters of the gompertz model is not easily explained...
since it's nonlinear in the parameters...
I have a spreadsheet that does it for you
or rather demonstrates the process
it is a univariate model
 
the R modules for the nonlinear, mixed models on the Weiss website would integrate the promotion spend
 
I tried to upload the file here but it's only for image I see.
 
10:24 AM
yup...has to be sent via email...
let me send you a sheet
 
Are you able to get it from the site?
 
let me send you a sheet with the estimating steps
 
what's your email address?

ok...sending it now...
 
ok thanks
I just open the xls file
 
Once you open it up, everything is color coded and tracks from the table to the chart
yup
on the lower right are the steps in the process
you start with cols a-c and rows 1-14
and successively add the additional columns
one by one
as each new parameter is estimated
by highlighting the contents of each cell, you can see what each column of calculations is doing...
the only tricky piece is step 6 in cols g and h, rows 33-41
it's a 2-way excel table function for finding the point at which the "mape" is minimized
why don't you work with it and we can reconvene with your questions later?
 
I will do that! Thanks!
 
any immediate questions?
you can send your data to my email address if you want to...
gotta go for now...
 
I will do that. I will look into it, right now I have no questions.
 
10:43 AM
ok....let me know, one way or the other...
