Method and system for detection, classification and prediction of user behavior trends

Abstract

A method and system for detection, classification and prediction of user behavior trends using correspondence analysis is disclosed. The method and system reduces the n-dimensional feature space to lower dimensional space for easy processing, improved quality of emerging clusters and superior prediction accuracies. Further, the method applies the correspondence analysis so that each user is assigned with a new coordinate in the lower dimension which maintains a similarity, difference and the relationship between the variables. Once the correspondence analysis is completed, clustering or grouping of the coordinates based on the similar trends of the users is performed. Further, unlabeled cluster members are assigned class membership proportional to the labeled samples in the cluster. Finally, the method predicts the future actions of the users based on the past trends that are observed from the labeled clusters.
