What I found interesting in this project is that their research problem is essentially how someone can get famous with digital media, specifically YouTube. I usually think that the best way to do it is through consistency and quality, but consistency should first be prioritized. I think the other team should look at how consistency can affect a Youtuber's views for a specific video as well as their channel growth. The plots that they should make are definitely scatter plot and maybe pie charts to see in what category specifically to videos get the most views on. Overall, the proposal looks good and they are definitely in the right direction.
Proposal Review
Reviewer: Professor Baker Date: 03/14/2022
Section 1 - Introduction:
The introduction should introduce your general research question and your data (where it came from, how it was collected, what are the cases, what are the variables, etc.).
What is their general research question: We aim to examine what makes a Youtube video popular using a dataset that contains Youtube data. Is the general research question clear? If it is not clear, what questions do you have?
Section 2 - Data:
Data suitability:
Section 3 - Data analysis plan:
Do the outcome and predictor variables and/or comparison groups make sense in the context of the question? Why or Why not?
[X] Does the proposal include some very preliminary exploratory data analysis, including some summary statistics and visualizations, along with some explanation on how they help you learn more about your data. (They can add to these later as they work on their project.)
[X] Does the proposal include the statistical method(s) that they believe will be useful in answering your question(s). (They can update these later as they work on their project.)
The way your question is framed would lend itself well to a linear model.
[X] Do they include what results from these specific statistical methods that are needed to support their hypothesized answer?
Reflections
What was something you found interesting about the project?
What ideas/feedback do you have for other things they may explore?
What kinds of plots should they consider to complete the project goal to create some kind of compelling visualization(s) of this data in R?
Any additional feedback you'd like to give the other group:
Great work!
