Do relative weights in StatsIQ match those in a driver widget in a CX Dashboard | XM Community
Skip to main content

If you do a regression in stats IQ and conduct a relative weights analysis, and then use the exact same data and IV/DV in a driver widget in a CX dashboard, would not the % on the Y axis for each driver be the same as in the regression output for relative weights?  

In other words, if I have IVs A,B and C and use them to regress DV “D”, and they have these values:

A = 50%

B = 25%

C = 25%

Shouldn’t they have those same values for the Y axis in the driver widget?  

Following this in case you actually get a response. I’ve always wondered the same.

One thing to note here is that I believe that if you have a weighting model on your dashboard, the dashboard widget doesn’t apply it, and I’ve been forced to use Stats IQ anyway. That’s a miss that should be fixed by Qualtrics.

But in the absence of the weight model, I would expect the results to be the same on both, and I dont’ think they are.


Yes they should have same value but unfortunately that is not the case. 


@InessaG that’s what I was thinking.  I have a user who was wondering which was better for a driver analysis widget (RWA or Pearson R) and was surprised when I said I prefer the Pearson.  When asked why, I just said that with an RWA those numbers are meaningless if you don’t have the full model strength (R2).  So that led to a discussion about StatsIQ and this conversation.
