Cryptocurrency-Analysis

With the advent of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies have gained a lot of importance in today’s digital world. As cryptocurrencies have direct and indirect effects on multiple domains, we present statistical analysis to validate the same. These effects being bi-directional and volatile, the analysis becomes intriguing as well as challenging.

We performed analysis on following areas:

General Analysis

  • We applied Parametric inference of the cryptocurrency data set to get an idea of the distribution.
  • We applied Time-Series analysis for the prices of different cryptocurrencies.

Impact of Google Search Trends

  • We studied how Google Searches affected Cryptocurrency prices using Linear Regression.
  • Wald’s test and KS test.
  • We also applied Multiple Linear Regression to find out which feature of cryptocurrencies was most influenced by the Google Searches.

Impact on financial sector

  • We studied how companies producing hardware for mining cryptocurrencies performed with bitcoin prices.
  • We applied Multiple Linear Regression for predicting the stock values of these companies.
  • We applied Simple Linear regression for the number of bitcoin investors in Greece increased after the crisis of 2015
  • Permutation Test

Impact of Ransomware Attacks on Bitcoin

  • Wald's test for analyzing increase in ransomware attack with number of bitcoin trasactions
  • We applied Bayesian Inference to find the posterior distribution of the data subject to new random data generated from the same distribution.

Impact of Gambling on Bitcoin

  • Wald's Test
  • Permutation Test
  • Simple and Multiple Linear regression
