1.Introduction
Now a days shopping mall attract lots of customer. Sales frequency has
increased in shopping mall recently. How does consumer make purchase
decision shopping mall? How does purchase in one shopping mall differ from
other shopping mall? So we consider two important aspect of consumer
decision making shopping mall; one is space and other is design .How does
space and design consumer decision making process in shopping mall, we
conducted a research on this matter and try to find out related finding
regarding this topic. For our research we choose selected shopping mall in
Bangalore and tried to find out consumer decision making relative to those
shopping mall.
2.Literature Review
2.1 Solution Approaches to Automated Space Planning
Kalay (2004) categorizes computational design synthesis methods as:
Procedural Methods
Heuristic Methods
Evolutionary Methods
In this categorization, “Procedural Methods” are introduced as first methods
to be employed. They leverage our ability, as human designers, to specify local
conditions and the ability of the computer to apply or test for these
relationships over much larger sets of variables. The basic procedural
approach is the attempt to completely enumerate all the possible
arrangements of floor plans from a given set of rooms. Then, architects can
choose the most appropriate one from those alternatives for a given design
project. However, the numbers of possible solutions rise up dramatically by
increasing the number of design parameters. Therefore, it is an inefficient
approach for computers to try to calculate all the possible solutions. Even if a
Ma Market Research Project Alliance University, Bangalore 2011
P r e p a r e d b y : S U N A M P A L C H A N D R A D E E P
Page 6
computer can generate a large number of possible solutions, no architect has
sufficient time and energy to review all those solutions (Kalay, 2004). Another
procedural approach to computerize arranging rooms in a floor plan is to
enlist the services of the computer in the layout of spaces in a building
according to some rational principles (mostly minimization of distances
between spaces that ought to be close to each other). This approach is known
as “Space Allocation”. The uses of space allocation approaches however are
limited to building types that the main important factor in their design is
distances (like schools, hospitals and warehouses) (Kalay, 2004). Attempts to
improve space allocation with the help of procedural methods continued by
including additional design criteria (e.g., lighting, privacy and orientation) in
the decision-making process of placement algorithm. Different “Constraint
Satisfaction” methods then introduced to include multiple objectives in space
allocation. With some exceptions the results of space allocations with
constraint satisfaction methods were poor compared to the results obtained
by competent architects. In fact, satisfying more constraints with some sort of
satisfying results needs the more heuristic methods of simulation (Kalay,
2004). “Heuristic Methods” are the computational design methods that are
inspired by analogies, just like the design synthesis methods that are typically
inspired by analogies and guided by the architect‟s own or another designer’s
previous experiences. These methods rely on personal and professional
expertise accumulated over lifetimes of confronting a variety of design issues
(Kalay, 2004).
One of the interesting approaches to computerized space layout planning by
means of Heuristic Methods was to borrow the idea of simulating space
arrangements in layouts from the rules that has derived from other sciences.
These methods are known as Final Paper……..…….……………………………...Arch

2.2 Additive Space Allocation An example of a program that has implemented additive methods of space
allocation is GRAMPA (for Graph Manipulating Package). Final
Paper……..…….……………………………...Arch 588- Research Practice 4
2.3 Structure of the program (Grason, 1971)
Grason‟s approach to computerized space planning is based on the methods
of solution for the formal class of floor plan design problems. The methods of
solution depend on a special linear graph representation for floor plans called
the „dual graph‟1 representation.
1 In mathematics, a dual graph of a given planar graph G has a vertex for each
plane region of G, and an edge for each edge joining two neighboring regions.
The term "dual" is used because this property is symmetric, meaning that if G
is a dual of H, then H is a dual of G; in effect, these graphs come in pairs.
As shown in Figure 1 a “space” is defined to be either a room or one of the four
outside spaces. A problem statement will consist of a set of adjacency and
physical dimension requirements that have to be satisfied, and a problem
solution is a floor plan that satisfies all of the design requirements.
2.4 A typical floor plan (Grason, 1971)
In applying graph theory to floor plan layout, rooms are pictured as labeled
nodes possessing certain attributes, such as intended use, area, and shape.
Adjacencies between rooms are indicated by drawing lines (edges) connecting
the nodes to the corresponding rooms. These notions can be implemented by
dealing with the dual graph of a floor plan Final

which is itself treated as a linear graph. An example of such a floor plan graph
is shown in Figure 2, with black nodes. In the floor plan graph, “edges” and
“nodes” will be called “wall segments” and “corners” respectively. A special
dual of the floor plan graph can be obtained by placing a node inside each
space and constructing edges to join the nodes of adjacent spaces. This special
type of dual graph of the floor plan is the design representation to be used for
the class of problems described in this paper. The general idea of its
application is to first set down the four nodes and four edges of the dual graph
that represent the four outside walls of a building. Then nodes and edges are
added one by one to the dual graph in response to design requirements and
other considerations until a completed dual graph is obtained.
2.5 Floor plan graph with dual graph (Grason, 1971)
The incomplete dual graphs that are produced in the intermediate stages of
this design process present special problems. Since edges can be colored,
directed, and weighted, it is not always clear whether or not there exists at
least one physically realizable floor plan satisfying the relationships expressed
in the incomplete dual graph. To treat this problem, appropriate properties of
the dual graph representation have been developed and are presented in
Grason‟s paper. These include the definitions of “Planarity”, “Well-Formed
Nodes”, “Well-Formed Terminal Regions” and “The Turn Concept”. Based on
these properties three theorems on physical realizability are established.
Final Paper……..…….……………………………...Arch 588- Research Practice 6
The use of these theorems enables the program to configure whether the
graph is planer or not. It also makes it possible to generate various possible
geometric realizations of the dual graph. A geometric realization of a planar
graph is simply one of the possibly many ways in which it can be drawn in a
plane. Four different realizations of a particular planar graph are shown in
Figure 3.

3 Methodology
3. 1 Overview of Work
So far the task accomplished is is identifying, filtering and filling up
questionnaire from respondents which are suitable for the research. The
applicants are filtered based on age groups and if they belonged to Bangalore.
A broad database was gathered which consists of a pool of applicant who may
or may not fall in the target bracket.
Amongst these, the potential ones are selected, met and kept track of. The
whole idea is to collect as many prospects as possible and then filter them as
per the requirements.

NORMAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
In probability theory, the normal (or Gaussian) distribution, is a continuous probability
distribution that is often used as a first approximation to describe real-valued random variables
that tend to cluster around a single mean value. The graph of the associated probability density
function is “bell”-shaped, and is known as the Gaussian function or bell curve:
Where parameter μ is the mean (location of the peak) and σ 2 is the variance (the measure of the
width of the distribution). The distribution with μ = 0 and σ 2 = 1 is called the standard normal.
BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete
probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n
independent yes/no experiments, each of which yields success with
probability p.
Ma Market Research Project Alliance University, Bangalore 2011
P r e p a r e d b y : S U N A M P A L C H A N D R A D E E P
Page 12
Such a success/failure experiment is also called a Bernoulli experiment or
Bernoulli trial. In fact, when n = 1, the binomial distribution is a Bernoulli
distribution. The binomial distribution is the basis for the popular binomial
test of statistical significance
Probability mass function
In general, if the random variable K follows the binomial distribution with parameters n and p,
we write K ~ B(n, p). The probability of getting exactly k successes in n trials is given by the
probability mass function:
For k = 0, 1, 2, ..., n, where
is the binomial coefficient (hence the name of the distribution) "n choose k", also denoted
C(n, k), nCk, or nCk. The formula can be understood as follows: we want k successes (p
k) and
n − k failures (1 − p)n − k
. However, the k successes can occur anywhere among the n trials, and
there are C(n, k) different ways of distributing k successes in a sequence of n trials.
In creating reference tables for binomial distribution probability, usually the table is filled in up
to n/2 values. This is because for k > n/2, the probability can be calculated by its complement as
So, one must look to a different k and a different p (the binomial is not symmetrical in general).
However, its behavior is not arbitrary. There is always an integer m that satisfies
As a function of k, the expression ƒ(k; n, p) is monotone increasing for k < m and monotone
decreasing for k > m, with the exception of one case where (n + 1)p is an integer. In this case,
there are two maximum values for m = (n + 1)p and m − 1. m is known as the most probable
(most likely) outcome of Bernoulli trials. Note that the probability of it occurring can be fairly
small.
The cumulative distribution function can be expressed as:
Ma Market Research Project Alliance University, Bangalore 2011
P r e p a r e d b y : S U N A M P A L C H A N D R A D E E P
Page 13
where is the "floor" under x, i.e. the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
It can also be represented in terms of the regularized incomplete beta function, as follows:
For k ≤ np, upper bounds for the lower tail of the distribution function can be derived. In
particular, Hoeffding's inequality yields the bound
and Chernoff's inequality can be used to derive the bound
Moreover, these bounds are reasonably tight when p = 1/2, since the following expression holds
for all k ≥ 3n/8
ean and variance
If X ~ B(n, p) (that is, X is a binomially distributed random variable), then the expected value of
X is
and the variance is
Ma Market Research Project Alliance University, Bangalore 2011
P r e p a r e d b y : S U N A M P A L C H A N D R A D E E P
Page 14
This fact is easily proven as follows. Suppose first that we have a single Bernoulli trial. There are
two possible outcomes: 1 and 0, the first occurring with probability p and the second having
probability 1 − p. The expected value in this trial will be equal to μ = 1 · p + 0 · (1−p) = p. The
variance in this trial is calculated similarly: σ2 = (1−p)
2·p + (0−p)
2·(1−p) = p(1 − p).
The generic binomial distribution is a sum of n independent Bernoulli trials. The mean and the
variance of such distributions are equal to the sums of means and variances of each individual
trial:
Mode and median
Usually the mode of a binomial B(n, p) distribution is equal to ⌊(n + 1)p⌋, where ⌊ ⌋ is the floor
function. However when (n + 1)p is an integer and p is neither 0 nor 1, then the distribution has
two modes: (n + 1)p and (n + 1)p − 1. When p is equal to 0 or 1, the mode will be 0 and n
correspondingly. These cases can be summarized as follows:
In general, there is no single formula to find the median for a binomial distribution, and it may
even be non-unique. However several special results have been established:
If np is an integer, then the mean, median, and mode coincide. Any median m must lie within the interval ⌊np⌋ ≤ m ≤ ⌈np⌉. A median m cannot lie too far away from the mean: |m − np| ≤ min{ ln 2,
max{p, 1 − p} }. The median is unique and equal to m = round(np) in cases when either p
≤ 1 − ln 2 or p ≥ ln 2 or |m − np| ≤ min{p, 1 − p} (except for the case when p = ½ and n is odd)
When p = 1/2 and n is odd, any number m in the interval ½(n − 1) ≤ m ≤ ½(n + 1) is a median of the binomial distribution. If p = 1/2 and n is even, then m = n/2 is the unique median.

Covariance between two binomials
If two binomially distributed random variables X and Y are observed together, estimating their
covariance can be useful. Using the definition of covariance, in the case n = 1 we have
The first term is non-zero only when both X and Y are one, and μX and μY are equal to the two
probabilities. Defining pB as the probability of both happening at the same time, this gives
and for n such trials again due to independence
If X and Y are the same variable, this reduces to the variance formula given above.

5.2 Reliability Test
You learned in the Theory of Reliability that it's not possible to calculate reliability exactly. Instead, we have to estimate reliability, and this is always an imperfect endeavor. Here, I want to introduce the major reliability estimators and talk about their strengths and weaknesses.
There are four general classes of reliability estimates, each of which estimates reliability in a different way. They are:
Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer Reliability Used to assess the degree to which different raters/observers give consistent estimates of the same phenomenon.
Test-Retest Reliability Used to assess the consistency of a measure from one time to another.
Parallel-Forms Reliability Used to assess the consistency of the results of two tests constructed in the same way from the same content domain.
Internal Consistency Reliability Used to assess the consistency of results across items within a test.

5.3 Linear Regression Analysis
In statistics, regression analysis includes any techniques for modeling and
analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a
dependent variable and one or more independent variables. More specifically,
regression analysis helps one understand how the typical value of the
dependent variable changes when any one of the independent variables is
varied, while the other independent variables are held fixed. Most commonly,
regression analysis estimates the conditional expectation of the dependent
variable given the independent variables — that is, the average value of the

dependent variable when the independent variables are held fixed. Less
commonly, the focus is on a quantile, or other location parameter of the
conditional distribution of the dependent variable given the independent
variables. In all cases, the estimation target is a function of the independent
variables called the regression function. In regression analysis, it is also of
interest to characterize the variation of the dependent variable around the
regression function, which can be described by a probability distribution.

5.4 Correlation Analysis
A correlation function is the correlation between random variables at two
different points in space or time, usually as a function of the spatial or
temporal distance between the points. Correlation functions of different
random variables are sometimes called cross correlation functions to
emphasize that different variables are being considered and because they are
made up of cross correlations.
Correlation functions are a useful indicator of dependencies as a function of
distance in time or space, and they can be used to assess the distance required
between sample points for the values to be effectively uncorrelated. In
addition, they can form the basis of rules for interpolating values at points for
which there are observations.
For random variables X(s) and X(t) at different points s and t of some space,
the correlation function is
where is described in the article on correlation. In this definition, it has
been assumed that the stochastic variable is scalar-valued. If it is not, then
more complicated correlation functions can be defined. For example, if one
has a vector Xi(s), then one can define the matrix of correlation functions
Regression Analysis
In linear regression, the model specification is that the dependent variable, yi
is a linear combination of the parameters (but need not be linear in the
independent variables). For example, in simple linear regression for modeling
n data points there is one independent variable: xi, and two parameters, β0 and
β1:
straight line:
Ma Market Research Project Alliance University, Bangalore 2011
P r e p a r e d b y : S U N A M P A L C H A N D R A D E E P
Page 30
In multiple linear regression, there are several independent variables or
functions of independent variables. For example, adding a term in xi2 to the
preceding regression gives:
parabola:
This is still linear regression; although the expression on the right hand side is
quadratic in the independent variable xi, it is linear in the parameters β0, β1
and β2.In both cases, is an error term and the subscript i indexes a particular
observation. Given a random sample from the population, we estimate the
population parameters and obtain the sample linear regression model:
The residual, , is the difference between the value of the
dependent variable predicted by the model, and the true value of the
dependent variable yi. One method of estimation is ordinary least squares.
This method obtains parameter estimates that minimize the sum of squared
residuals, SSE:
Minimization of this function results in a set of normal equations, a set of
simultaneous linear equations in the parameters, which are solved to yield the
parameter estimators, .

Illustration of linear regression on a data set.
In the case of simple regression, the formulas for the least squares estimates
are
where is the mean (average) of the x values and is the mean of the y values.
See simple linear regression for a derivation of these formulas and a
numerical example. Under the assumption that the population error term has
a constant variance, the estimate of that variance is given by:
This is called the mean square error (MSE) of the regression. The standard
errors of the parameter estimates are given by
Under the further assumption that the population error term is normally
distributed, the researcher can use these estimated standard errors to create
confidence intervals and conduct hypothesis tests about the population
parameters.

Correlation
The population correlation coefficient ρX,Y between two random variables X
and Y with expect values μX and μY and standard deviations σX and σY is
defined as:
where E is the expected value operator, cov means covariance, and, corr a
widely used alternative notation for Pearson's correlation.
The Pearson correlation is defined only if both of the standard deviations are
finite and both of them are nonzero. It is a corollary of the Cauchy–Schwarz
inequality that the correlation cannot exceed 1 in absolute value. The
correlation coefficient is symmetric: corr(X,Y) = corr(Y,X).

5.5 Kendal’s W-Test
Kendall's W (also known as Kendall's coefficient of concordance) is a non-parametric statistics. It is a normalization of the statistic of the Friedman test, and can be used for assessing agreement among raters. Kendall's W ranges from 0 (no agreement) to 1 (complete agreement).
Suppose, for instance, that a number of people have been asked to rank a list of political concerns, from most important to least important. Kendall's W can be calculated from these data. If the test statistic W is 1, then all the survey respondents have been unanimous, and each respondent has assigned the same order to the list of concerns. If W is 0, then there is no overall trend of agreement among the respondents, and their responses may be regarded as essentially random. Intermediate values of W indicate a greater or lesser degree of unanimity among the various responses.

Page 35
While tests using the standard Pearson correlation coefficient assume normally distributed values and compare two sequences of outcomes at a time, Kendall's W makes no assumptions regarding the nature of the probability distribution and can handle any number of distinct outcomes.

5.6 Central Tendencies The terms mean, median, mode, and range describe properties of statistical
distributions. In statistics, a distribution is the set of all possible values for
terms that represent defined events. The value of a term, when expressed as a
variable, is called a random variable.
Mean
The most common expression for the mean of a statistical distribution with a
discrete random variable is the mathematical average of all the terms. To
calculate it, add up the values of all the terms and then divide by the number
of terms. This expression is also called the arithmetic mean. There are other
expressions for the mean of a finite set of terms but these forms are rarely
used in statistics.
Median
The median of a distribution with a discrete random variable depends on
whether the number of terms in the distribution is even or odd. If the number
of terms is odd, then the median is the value of the term in the middle. This is
the value such that the number of terms having values greater than or equal to
it is the same as the number of terms having values less than or equal to it.
Mode
The mode of a distribution with a discrete random variable is the value of the
term that occurs the most often. It is not uncommon for a distribution with a
discrete random variable to have more than one mode, especially if there are
not many terms. This happens when two or more terms occur with equal
frequency, and more often than any of the others. A distribution with two
modes is called bimodal.
Range
The range of a distribution with a discrete random variable is the difference
between the maximum value and the minimum value. For a distribution with
a continuous random variable, the range is the difference between the two
extreme points on the distribution curve, where the value of the function falls
Ma Market Research Project Alliance University, Bangalore 2011
P r e p a r e d b y : S U N A M P A L C H A N D R A D E E P
Page 37
to zero. For any value outside the range of a distribution, the value of the
function is equal to 0
