Customer-Satisfaction Analysis at SAN FRANCISCO International Airport
This study conducts an in-depth statistical analysis to pinpoint the key factors influencing customer satisfaction at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Utilizing a dataset comprised of over 3,000 customer responses from a mid-2013 survey, we employ a stepwise linear multiple regression model to identify the significant drivers of overall satisfaction. Our analysis reveals several impactful variables, with the majority exhibiting a consistent trend: extreme ratings on the scale ('Unacceptable' and 'Outstanding') have the most substantial impact.

Determining Key Factors in Consumer Evaluation of an Airport
In this research, factor analysis is utilized to systematically investigate eleven variables related to service attributes and usage at San Francisco Airport (SFO). The primary objective is to decipher the underlying factorial structure that significantly influences a customer's comprehensive rating of SFO. A stepwise logistic regression analysis is subsequently applied, treating these derived factors as independent variables, and the comprehensive assessment of SFO as the dependent variable. This rigorous statistical approach allows for a detailed examination of the exact influence each of these factors has on the overall evaluation of SFO.
