• 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:

• Reviewers with 1-5 Reviews: 51.3% (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• Reviewers with 6-15 Reviews: 25.6% (Avg. rating: 4.9)

In total, we found that 183 reviewers (or 77%) are within an overrepresented participation group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.9, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 4.8. 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.

• 
• 25%
• Created over 6 days

We counted 238 reviews for this product over the span of 154 days, an average of 1.5 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 7 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 6 days exceeding this threshold:

• 12 Reviews on Jan 6, 2021 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 11 Reviews on Jan 10, 2021 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 10 Reviews on Jan 7, 2021 (Avg. rating: 4.9)
• 10 Reviews on Dec 9, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.8)
• 9 Reviews on Jan 5, 2021 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 8 Reviews on Nov 20, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.8)

In total, we found that 60 reviews were created on just 6 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

One-Hit Wonders

• 
• 16%
• have only posted one review

38 of the 238 reviewers have only reviewed this product. While this is more One-Hit Wonders than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the One-Hit Wonders and reviewers who have posted more than one review isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.

• 17%
• Used substantial repetitive phrases

On Oct 3, 2016, Amazon prohibited incentivized reviews, however we still test for them since there are still millions in our dataset.

•

• 0
• 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.
