Introduction-

Maruti Suzuki is the largest automobile manufacturer in India, specializing in small cars. In this assignment we talking about Maruti Suzuki car Features and safety for example- air bag, boot space, fuel efficiency etc.

 

Objective-

To find out leverage the insights gained from the Product results effectively.

 

Data collection- The data for Maruti Suzuki Car was created  google from and taking survey from Hostel, College and Outskirts. Its based on ranking from 1 to 10 . In this data we will give rank to theme on the basis of their performance.

 

 

KMO and Bartlett’s Test-

  1. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Measure of Sampling Adequacy
    • Value: 0.487
    • Interpretation: The KMO statistic ranges from 0 to 1, with values closer to 1 indicating that the data is suitable for factor analysis. A value below 0.5 suggests that the sampling may not be adequate. In this case, a KMO of 0.487 indicates that the sample size may not be sufficient for PCA.

 

  1.   Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity
    • Approx. Chi-Square: 43.677
    • Degrees of Freedom (df): 45
    • Significance (Sig.): 0.528
    • Interpretation: This test checks whether the correlation matrix is an identity matrix (i.e., variables are uncorrelated). A significant result (p < 0.05) indicates that factor analysis may be appropriate. Here, the p-value of 0.528 suggests that the correlations among the variables are not significant enough, further questioning the suitability of the data for PCA.

 

 

Component Matrix-

  • Variables: Each feature has a loading on the components, which indicates how much of the variance in the variable is explained by the component.
  • Interpretation:
    • Higher loadings (closer to 1 or -1) indicate a stronger association with the component.
    • For example, “Extra boot space” and “Features” load strongly on Component 1 (0.703 and 0.691, respectively), suggesting that these attributes are closely related.
    • “Comfort” has a negative loading (-0.632) on Component 1, indicating an inverse relationship.

 

Total Variance Explained Interpretation-

    • Component 1 explains 15.585% of the variance, Component 2 explains 13.214%, and so on. The first five components together explain over 62% of the variance, which is a substantial amount, but ideally, you want to see a higher percentage for more robust results.

Rotated Component Matrix Interpretation-

    • After rotation, “Extra boot space” and “Features” still load highly on Component 1, confirming their importance.
    • “Air bags” and “Easily modify” load strongly on Component 2, suggesting they are related.
    • “High technology” and “Affordable price” load on Component 3, indicating these features are grouped together.
    • “Reliability” and “Fuel efficiency” have lower loadings but are still relevant to Components 4 and 5, respectively.
    • “Bright lighting” has a very high loading (0.921) on Component 5, indicating it is a strong factor in that component.

 

Conclusion-

The analysis suggests that the dataset may not be ideal for PCA due to the KMO value and Bartlett’s test results. However, the PCA did extract five components that explain a substantial portion of the variance in the dataset. The rotated component matrix provides a clearer picture of how the various features group together, which can be useful for further analysis or decision-making.
