More Information
Summary:In one aspect, a method includes: receiving information defining a plurality of different actions that may be performed by users; receiving information indicating a relative frequency at which each of the different actions was performed by each of a plurality of users over each of one or more periods of time; determining a plurality of different characteristic behaviors based at least in part on the information indicating the relative frequency at which each of the different actions was performed by each of the plurality of users over each of one or more periods of time, wherein each one of the different characteristic behaviors defines a relative frequency of performance of each of the different actions; receiving information indicating a relative frequency at which each of the different actions was performed by a user over a period of time; and determining a representation of the relative frequency at which each of the different actions was performed by the user over the period of time as a weighted combination of the different characteristic behaviors each of which defines a relative frequency of performance of each of the different actions.
