Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll clean and process data from Manning’s liveBook platform and prepare it for investigatory analysis to discover causes of customer churn. You’ll load a raw data dump of customer behavior data into PostgreSQL for analysis, categorize and check the event records for bad data, and calculate a basic set of interpretable customer metrics. Some SQL skills and a little Python is all you need to produce a clean and easy-to-interpret data set of customer behavior.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
