Case Study 1

Case Study in Product Data Science

What Makes a Playlist Successful

This case study dives into the world of music playlists to uncover what makes them successful. Leveraging the power of Descriptive Statistics, we identify key features that contribute to a playlist’s popularity. We define candidates for Success Metrics.

Through Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) including Semantic Analysis (NLP), we delve deeper to find correlations between these features and the success of a playlist. We then employ Econometric technique for Causal Analysis, specifically Linear Regression, to pinpoint the defining characteristics of a successful playlist beyond correlations.

This comprehensive project is conducted in four stages, integrating Python programming at each step to provide a hands-on, real-world application of Product Data Science.
