Analysis Of Car Sales In Auto Section Of Nairaland by Powersurge: 2:41pm On Jan 06, 2020 |
Background It all started when I needed data to carry some analysis. While 'window shopping' on Nairaland's auto section, I discovered that I had huge data all around me. It was tedious for me to gather the data. I did not use web scrapping (cos I have limited knowledge on it. Of course this will prompt me to fix that loophole). Methodology I used random method to gather that data. I chose pages randomly, ranging from more recent posts to older ones. And I ensured that I exhaust all the information on a page (without preference) Location the data were exclusively from Nairaland Auto section. Nature of analysis I only carried out descriptive analysis. What I did not do I did not carry out statistical tests or inference. Neither did I create any model for this analysis. This would have required more information and time, which I do not have. 1 Like |

Median price per company The median price of Infinity vehicle in that section is about 12 million naira. Which is the most expensive brand. The next on that list is Jaguar brand with average value of about 6 million naira. Ford brands have median value of about 4 million naira NOTE: I am aware that there are some more expensive brands like Royce Royce in this section. But they were not included in this dataset. I used median for most my measure of centres not mean. This is because mean is highly prone to outliers and there few of them on the data. And I did not want remove them. 1 Like

Mileage per condition Well, as expected, new vehicles have minimal mileage. Foreign used vehicles have average of 13,000 mileage. While Nigerian used have about 2000. This means that it's either the mileage of Nigerian used vehicles have been rolled back. Or they are out rightly lying. This does not mean that the the mileage of the foreign used have not been doctored either.
