Determination of Factors Affecting The Consumption of Private Label Food Products by Using Artificial Neural Networks and Logistic Regression Model: Case of İzmir Province
Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the factors affecting the consumption of the market brand food products for consumers living in İzmir with the help of a model, as well as to apply and compare two alternative methods used in model estimation. The primary data that constitute the main material of the study were obtained as a result of the survey conducted with 650 consumers living in the central provinces of İzmir. The dependent variable in the model is "Consumers do not consume or consume private label food products". In the study, twenty-five independent variables were examined under seven main topics that could influence consumers towards private label food product consumption. Seven main topics: market shopping behaviors, important elements in food shopping, package and price tags reading habits, food shopping characteristics, social characteristics, guest hospitality frequency and demographics. Since the dependent variable is a dichotomous variable, logistic regression and artificial neural network methods, as its alternative, are used. According to the results of both methods, while the most effective variable in consumption of private label food products by consumers participating in the research was income variable, the shopping frequency, and behavioral factors during shopping were observed as other effective variables. When the application results of two alternative methods used in the study are assessed; the predictive power (77.23%) of the model obtained using artificial neural network method is higher than the model obtained by logistic regression method (76.15%).
