Linearizing nonlinear functions
The microbrewery plans to expand their business and to offer Hoppiness nationwide. Therefore, pricing decisions need to be made by the manager for more than one store.
Stores might differ not only in location, but also in activity and in the number of volume sales. A solution is to explain the effect of changes in PRICE
relative to changes in SALES
. This is achieved by taking the log()
of the SALES
. The corresponding log(SALES) ~ PRICE
relation is again estimated by the function lm()
and the resulting nonlinear sales response model is investigated by its coefficients.
