We had to :1 Choose some individual characteristics that might
influence shoe purchase

For this estimation, R-squared has a value of 0.562We will try to improve this by not taking into accountsome redundant characteristics.The correlation matrix reveals that some characteristicsare strongly correlated, and so redundant.

Some variables might not have a significant influence on shoepurchase. We performed a Wald test on the nullity hypothesisof the βk .

Conclusion
First modelInsignificant Variable
A high p-value means that the nullity hypothesis is notrejected. Four variables are removed of the model :
One of the reasons our model is not exactly accurate migth bethat boys and girls have a very different behavior for shoespurchase.
There are two different populations, so we need to build adifferent model for women !

Using the same variable, another linear regression wasperformed focusing on women population. Using the samemethods,
The variables Age, Children and Clothebudget areremoved because of correlation.Store, Facebook, Couple and Zone are removed becausethey are insgnificant.
A few remarks :Of course, women buy a lot more shoes than menGirls are less sensible than boys to budget constraintThey buy a higher proportion of their shoes during sales.

Conclusion
Women’s ModelHeteroscedasticity
The White’s test result is that we do reject theheteroscedasticity hypothesis. (p > 0.05)The model can be considered homoscedastic.

Conclusion
The final model reveals that the more influcial charateristics onwomen’s purchase are :
her budget for shoeswether she has a job or notthe number of pairs she already ownsthe number of activities an leisures she have
But more surprisingly neither the place of living nor the beingin a relationship have an impact on shoe purchase.
