Fwd: Key Driver type analysis without a dependent variable

Mark Webb-5

The data below represents 6 retail categories with the probability of a respondent shopping for each category. e.g. Person 1 has a 0% probability of shopping for category 1 and a 100% probability of shopping for category 3 at this store.
I'm looking for a multivariate method that would indicate which categories are the "most important".
Methods like regression require a dependent variable which I don't have.
Is it OK to derive a dep var -->  depvar=mean(cat1 to cat6).

Any suggestions ?
