Happy Sunday landers, so I ‘m here to walk you through the descriptive analysis of the new topics created on nairaland. I was having a boring weekend, then I decided on doing one or two projects, while going through kaggle for datasets then an idea of analyzing nairaland’s data comes to my mind, because have been looking towards practicing my new gotten skill webscraping using R, lol. So this analysis is mainly for fun, so will be looking towards your criticisms and corrections.
So I scraped all the new topics created on 7th of july to 8th of july and was last updated 8th,july,2023, at 2:30pm, meaning all topics created above 2:30pm were not included.
The following questions were analyzed :
1. which section was the most active in this time-frame(has more topics created)?
2. For each original poster(OP), which section were they more active in?
3. Which sections have the highest number of views?
4. Is there any relationship/correlation between the number of views and replies(posts)?
Tool used:
R programming: Rvest for the scraping and Tidyverse for the analysis.
Limitation of Dataset :
Sample bias : the dataset contains just a day data and doesn’t represent the whole new topics created on nairaland.
