Panel Data Analysis Tutorial - Run Analysis

Each model includes a sample data set (OfficeStar) that can be found under the Tutorials dropdown on the Enginius Dashboard.

The remainder of the tutorials use the Panel Regression OfficeStar data set as the starting data set.

OfficeStar Data Block

Panel Data Run Analysis Settings (OfficeStar Default Settings)

The above dialog box will allow you to specify the parameters for the analysis you are about to run.

• Panel data is the name of the data block in Enginius that you will analyzing.
• Target variable allows you to select the dependent variable for your analysis. In our example, we have chosen Conversions as the target.
• Panel variable allows you to specify panel variable containing the IDs for the entities being modeled.  Here, the panel variable is Keyword.  
• Time or Replication variable allows you to specify the variable containing IDs for the multiple observations pertaining to each entity or panel ID.  Here, the Time or Replication variable is Campaign.

The other variables in the data set will be used as independent variables in the panel regression model.

Finally, Model allows you to specify the model type that you want to use for the estimation. Our recommendation is that you first use the Automatic option to determine the statistically most appropriate model for your data. Once you explore these results, you can then decide to re-run the analysis with your own choice of the Model options. The three models available are Pooled OLS model, Fixed-effects model, and Random-effect model. These models are described in greater detail in the Appendix. 

Your Enginius report can be generated in many different formats. Clicking the globe beside the Run button will allow you to select a new report format.

After selecting the desired model options, click  to generate the report in the desired format.
