Automating answers to big data traffic questions
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Restricting analysis to only looking at basic measurements of traffic numbers inevitably leads to more questions from business analysts - why has traffic increased today? Why has conversion decreased? Which types of customers are coming to the site? Questions of this variety are asked regularly after viewing simple traffic results so a traffic reporting system that executes more sophisticated measurements and analyses is required. Using time series and machine learning and statistical techniques, changes in the data can be isolated to give a daily or weekly detailed snapshot of the underlying customer behaviour prompting these changes.
