• 
• 35%
• Have an overrepresented word count

In the graph above, we can see the distribution of review word counts for this product and the expected distribution for this category. We see the following 3 groups with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:

• 0-5 words: 9.9% (Avg. rating: 4.5)
• 6-15 words: 13.1% (Avg. rating: 4.6)
• 101-200 words: 11.7% (Avg. rating: 4.0)

In total, we found that 521 reviews (or 35%) are within an overrepresented word count group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.4, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 4.1. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.

• Created over 12 days

We counted 1,502 reviews for this product over the span of 1,883 days, an average of 0.8 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 5 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 12 days exceeding this threshold:

• 23 Reviews on Apr 23, 2016 (Avg. rating: 4.4)
• 12 Reviews on Apr 26, 2016 (Avg. rating: 4.1)
• 12 Reviews on May 1, 2016 (Avg. rating: 4.0)

In total, we found that 115 reviews were created on just 12 days. Although any days with a larger number of reviews than expected is suspicious, these reviews do not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.

Brand Loyalists

• 
• 2%
• Reviewed mostly products from this brand

37 of the 1,502 reviewers have reviewed multiple products but half or more of their reviews are for this brand. While this is more Brand Loyalists than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Brand Loyalists and non-loyalists isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.

Take-Back Reviewers

• 
• 39%
• have previously deleted reviews

580 of the 1,502 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. While this is more Take-Back Reviewers than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Take-Back Reviewers and reviewers who don't have any deleted reviews in their history isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.

• Reviews have been deleted

We have not discovered any deleted reviews for this product.

There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:

1. We don't have a magic ability to collect every single deleted review; we can only identify reviews as deleted if we collect them on one date and then notice they are no longer visible on a subsequent date.
2. We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
3. We also don't know why these reviews were removed. It could be action from the platform, personal decision by the review author, part of an entire account closure, even some data error on our part, etc.
