Comcast Customer Analysis with Ashley Clarke

Provided with three years of Comcast customer data, Wharton students were tasked with determining how Comcast’s customers value individual products and bundles. Additionally, the project examined regional differences in customer behavior. Finally, the team created a pricing model that demonstrates how different segments of customers value Comcast’s offerings. To provide these insights, the analysis included four distinct phases: exploratory data analysis, k-means clustering, a random forest model, and a linear regression model.
