Analysis Details

-
- 91%
- From reviewers with an overrepresented participation
We see the following 2 participation groups with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 15186 reviewers (or 91%) are within an overrepresented participation group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.7, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 4.5. 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 189 days
We counted 16,778 reviews for this product over the span of 1,721 days, an average of 9.7 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 22 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 189 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 12,661 reviews were created on just 189 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

Take-Back Reviewers
676 of the 16,778 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, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.

275 of the 16,778 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.
Unverified purchases may be the result of Kindle Unlimited readers, buyers who didn't pay full price, or reviewers who did not purchase the product at Amazon. Read more about our Unverified Purchases test.
