Data Science Final Year Topic: Evaluation of Outlier Handling in Rent Data

This Data Science final year project investigates assessing how unusual listings affect rental price summaries, with explicit data definitions and reproducible analysis rather than invented findings.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic turns assessing how unusual listings affect rental price summaries into a measurable analytical question. Comparing median shifts, trimmed-mean sensitivity and flagged-record precision gives a student material for visual results, methodological criticism and a discussion of how the data's limitations change the conclusion.

How does outlier handling in rent data affect assessing how unusual listings affect rental price summaries, as measured by median shifts, trimmed-mean sensitivity and flagged-record precision?

Choose an accessible licensed or synthetic dataset, agree the unit of analysis and narrow assessing how unusual listings affect rental price summaries to a reproducible comparison your supervisor can review.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the data, assumptions and comparison design for assessing how unusual listings affect rental price summaries.
  2. 02Use licensed listing samples or synthetic records, distinguish data errors from plausible extremes and compare robust and ordinary summaries.
  3. 03Compare median shifts, trimmed-mean sensitivity and flagged-record precision and report uncertainty and sensitivity to analytical choices.

A suggested research approach

Use licensed listing samples or synthetic records, distinguish data errors from plausible extremes and compare robust and ordinary summaries. Confirm the data licence and variable definitions before analysis. Preserve an untouched evaluation set where relevant, document exclusions and missingness, and report median shifts, trimmed-mean sensitivity and flagged-record precision with uncertainty or sensitivity checks rather than selecting only favourable results.

What you will need

  • Licensed or synthetic rental listings
  • Data validation rules
  • Robust statistics tools

Keep your project scope clear

Advertised rents are not completed transaction prices and sampled listings may be unrepresentative.
