Abstract

Everyone has a characteristic pattern of daily activities. This study applies cluster analysis to identify a computer user's daily behavior patterns based on 1000 China users' 4-weeks software and web usage. Clustering models are built for 4 different behavior definition methods with different time period divisions and feature measurement selections. With these patterns, we build classification models to predict new users' daily behavior pattern with their half day activity logs. For example, if we know one user use computer for entertainment in the morning, we can predict his behavior in the afternoon and evening. The prediction model can be used to recommend suitable items to users according to their current behavior status. Our method can get 92.5% prediction correctness for the best.
