Descriptive Analysis

A first look at the dataset
F irst and foremost, we will look in detail at the raw data set to see

if any unusual pattern can be discovered. This will help us
determine if more advanced analyses are required.

Looking at this area graph, nothing particularly out of order is
appearing. We clearly see that the amount of failing keeps growing
erratically over time. This game seems globally unbalanced as we have
a succession of hard checkpoints followed by very easy one.

Here's a first hint about our users' progression, it seems that after
completing checkpoint #14 the difficulty rises dramatically fast. This
surely impacts users that are then forced to play on average 2.5 times

more each checkpoint to have chance of completion.
