# 📊 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) – E-Commerce Customer Behavior Dataset
|
| 2 |
-
|
| 3 |
-
This project performs a full Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on an e-commerce customer behavior dataset.
|
| 4 |
-
The goal is to explore patterns, detect anomalies, generate insights, and answer research questions using visualizations.

### ✔️ Summary of Cleaning Steps
|
| 35 |
-
|
| 36 |
-
I performed several data cleaning steps to ensure the dataset is consistent and ready for analysis:
|
| 37 |
-
|
| 38 |
-
1. **Missing Values**
|
| 39 |
-
Checked with `df.isnull().sum()`
|
| 40 |
-
→ No missing values, so no filling/removal was needed.
|
| 41 |
-
|
| 42 |
-
2. **Duplicate Rows**
|
| 43 |
-
Checked with `df.duplicated().sum()`
|
| 44 |
-
→ No duplicates found.
|
| 45 |
-
|
| 46 |
-
3. **Parsing Dates**
|
| 47 |
-
Converted `Date` column to datetime for better analysis.
|
| 48 |
-
|
| 49 |
-
4. **Scaling / Normalization Issues**
|
| 50 |
-
Reviewed distributions using `df.describe()`
|
| 51 |
-
→ All numeric columns were within reasonable ranges.
|
| 52 |
-
|
| 53 |
-
5. **Inconsistencies / Typos**
|
| 54 |
-
Verified `Age`, `Session_Duration_Minutes`, and `Delivery_Time_Days`
|
| 55 |
-
→ No negative or impossible values.
|
| 56 |
-
|
| 57 |
-
6. **Final Result**
|
| 58 |
-
The cleaned dataset (`df`) is ready for deeper EDA and modeling.
|
| 59 |
-
|
| 60 |
-
|
| 61 |

# ## 3. 🚨 Outlier Detection & Handling
|
| 62 |
-
|
| 63 |
-
cols = ['Total_Amount', 'Unit_Price', 'Session_Duration_Minutes']
|
| 64 |
-
|
| 65 |
-
for col in cols:
|
| 66 |
-
print(f"---- {col} ----")
|
| 67 |
-
print(df[col].describe())
|
| 68 |
-
|
| 69 |
-
Q1 = df[col].quantile(0.25)
|
| 70 |
-
Q3 = df[col].quantile(0.75)
|
| 71 |
-
IQR = Q3 - Q1
|
| 72 |
-
|
| 73 |
-
lower = Q1 - 1.5 * IQR
|
| 74 |
-
upper = Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
|
| 75 |
-
|
| 76 |
-
outliers = df[(df[col] < lower) | (df[col] > upper)]
|
| 77 |
-
print(f"Outliers count: {outliers.shape[0]}\n")
|
| 78 |
-
|
| 79 |
-
### Summary
|
| 80 |
-
|
| 81 |
-
* Outliers were detected in **Total_Amount**, **Unit_Price**, and **Session_Duration_Minutes**.
|
| 82 |
-
* In an e-commerce dataset, high purchases or expensive items are **expected business behavior**.
|
| 83 |
-
* **Decision:** Outliers were **kept** because they represent real customer actions, not errors.
|
| 84 |

# ## 4. 📈 Descriptive Statistics
|
| 86 |
-
|
| 87 |
-

|
| 88 |
-
|
| 89 |
-
mean_values = df.mean(numeric_only=True)
|
| 90 |
-
median_values = df.median(numeric_only=True)
|
| 91 |
-
|
| 92 |
-

|
| 93 |
-

| 96 |
-
print("\nCorrelations:\n", correlations)
|
| 97 |
-
```
|
| 98 |
-
|
| 99 |
-
### ✔️ Key Insights
|
| 100 |
-
|
| 101 |
-
* Average customer age ≈ **35 years**.
|
| 102 |
-
* Large gap between **mean** and **median** in `Unit_Price` and `Total_Amount` shows **expensive products skewing the average**.
|
| 103 |
-
* Most customers buy **2 items** on average.
|
| 104 |
-
* Strong correlation between:
|
| 105 |
-
|
| 106 |
-
* **Unit_Price → Total_Amount** (≈ 0.79)
|
| 107 |
-
* **Quantity → Total_Amount** (≈ 0.33)
|
| 108 |
-
* Most other correlations are weak, meaning features behave independently.

|
| 234 |
-
|
| 235 |
-
* item price ↔ purchase amount
|
| 236 |
-
* quantity ↔ purchase amount
|
| 237 |
-
