Question: Can we encourage user behavior that will increase conversion (bill-sharing activity)?

Experiment: Determine what parameters most distinguish high activity vs low activity users.

Goal: Recommend areas of focus that may help increase conversion.

STEP 1Mine data for

distinguishing user characteristics

Example: gender, number of friends, invitation status…

STEP 2 Define high activity and low activity

How often does a user list an expense to be shared? What are the tiers of reporting frequency?

STEP 3

Determine parameters most

predictive of a high activity user

Logistic regression to correlate user characteristics with activity

level

STEP 4Make

recommendation

%50 more high than low activity users connect through FB, so try

to encourage or make it easier for individuals to login through FB

Experimental Procedure

Data mining

Data munging

Exploratory analysis, logistic regression

and data visualization
