Machine Learning Hackathon

Problem Statement
You are a data scientist at Megakkart the largest ecommerce platform in the country. Owing to the
festive season Megakkart is planning a ‘Super Festive Sale’ where it wants to achieve a GMV sales
of INR 5000 crores. You are being provided with the user data for the past one year on various
parameters mentioned below. You need to identify whether the user on the web portal will make a
purchase or not. The company plans to work on various hooks for the customers who are at a risk of
not making a purchase. Your analysis and machine learning model will help the product team to plan
these hooks.

Data Description
• "Administrative", "Administrative Duration", "Informational", "Informational Duration",
"Product Related" and "Product Related Duration" represent the number of different types
of pages visited by the visitor in that session and total time spent in each of these page
categories. The values of these features are derived from the URL information of the pages
visited by the user and updated in real time when a user takes an action, e.g. moving from one
page to another.
• The "Bounce Rate", "Exit Rate" and "Page Value" features represent the metrics
measured by "Google Analytics" for each page in the e-commerce site.
• The value of "Bounce Rate" feature for a web page refers to the percentage of visitors who
enter the site from that page and then leave ("bounce") without triggering any other requests
to the analytics server during that session.
• The value of "Exit Rate" feature for a specific web page is calculated as for all pageviews to
the page, the percentage that were the last in the session.
• The "Page Value" feature represents the average value for a web page that a user visited
before completing an e-commerce transaction.
• The "Special Day" feature indicates the closeness of the site visiting time to a specific
special day (e.g., Mother’s Day, Valentine's Day) in which the sessions are more likely to be
finalized with transaction. The value of this attribute is determined by considering the
dynamics of e-commerce such as the duration between the order date and delivery date. For
example, for Valentine’s Day, this value takes a nonzero value between February 2 and
February 12, zero before and after this date unless it is close to another special day, and its
maximum value of 1 on February 8.
• The dataset also includes operating system, browser, region, traffic type, visitor type as
returning or new visitor, a Boolean value indicating whether the date of the visit is weekend,
and month of the year.
• Revenue is the target variables which represents whether a customer completed a purchase
during the sessions. 1 represents purchase and 0 represents no purchase made.
