Research Data Analysis of Web Traffic
I want to share on the research which was done by some Estonian students concerning web traffic analysis. The case study they undertook is about mining frequent user access patterns from web log files. The primary objective was to discover the most frequent browsing patterns by analyzing the browsing sessions in logs.
This short essay is about data mining methods applied in web traffic analysis and other business intelligence. It also provides a modern look at data mining in light of the Big Data era.
As I was searching for data mining and data visualization tools I came across the data visualization website Gapminder by Hans Rosling, the professor of Global Health in Karolinska Institute, Sweden. The website presents over a century of statistic data in visual form in graphs, the data being UN and other world organizations out-sourced.
The professor has done an extensive work with plenty of data sources for this data visualizer, and his efforts are notable.
