About the Author

Hi my name is Emily Longmire, I'm a second-year data science major here at UCF.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of this project was to demonstrate the skills I learned in my research intensive course, Statistical Methods III. The goal of this project was to find out what aspects of a song can be used to predict the number of streams, and which aspects are most significant. To do this I used data from the Spotify API, and used R to clean and transform the data, as well as build a model. Through this course and project I learned the full process of statistical model building, how to interpret output from R, and how to communicate my findings to others in an understandable way.
