Bass Diffusion Model Example

Bass Diffusion Model Example. We will create a simple illustrative example—the product life cycle model used for forecasting sales of new products The first 10 steps will take you through the process of construction of the classic Bass diffusion model The model describes a product diffusion process.

Overview of Bass Diffusion Model The Bass diffusion model first discussed in [12] focuses on the growth (adoption) and spread (diffusion) of new products It offers a good baseline forecast of longterm sales patterns of new products and technologies under two conditions (1) the firm has recently launched the product and has few periods of.

Model Calibration The model representation (Equation 1) is essentially of the form X i = a + b Y i + c Y i 2 w h e r e a = p M b = q − p a n d c = − q / M If the innovation has been marketed estimates of p q and M from historical sales data may be obtained using a variety of statistical methods applicable for the above functional form.
