Data Science Final Year Topic: Evaluation of E-Commerce Basket Association Stability

This Data Science final year project investigates testing whether product associations persist across sampling and time windows, with explicit data definitions and reproducible analysis rather than invented findings.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic turns testing whether product associations persist across sampling and time windows into a measurable analytical question. Comparing rule stability, lift uncertainty and holdout support gives a student material for visual results, methodological criticism and a discussion of how the data's limitations change the conclusion.

How does e-commerce basket association stability affect testing whether product associations persist across sampling and time windows, as measured by rule stability, lift uncertainty and holdout support?

Choose an accessible licensed or synthetic dataset, agree the unit of analysis and narrow testing whether product associations persist across sampling and time windows to a reproducible comparison your supervisor can review.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the data, assumptions and comparison design for testing whether product associations persist across sampling and time windows.
  2. 02Use licensed or synthetic baskets, compare rule support and confidence across holdouts and assess rare-item instability.
  3. 03Compare rule stability, lift uncertainty and holdout support and report uncertainty and sensitivity to analytical choices.

A suggested research approach

Use licensed or synthetic baskets, compare rule support and confidence across holdouts and assess rare-item instability. Confirm the data licence and variable definitions before analysis. Preserve an untouched evaluation set where relevant, document exclusions and missingness, and report rule stability, lift uncertainty and holdout support with uncertainty or sensitivity checks rather than selecting only favourable results.

What you will need

  • Licensed or synthetic basket records
  • Association rule software
  • Temporal holdout design

Keep your project scope clear

Association rules do not prove that promoting one product increases sales of another.
