Part 1 – Website Optimization

* a. Visit http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ and analyze any web page of your choice in the ‘Enter URL to diagnose’ field.

* i. Discuss what data is in the dataset at a high-level and why you selected this data for time series analysis.

* ii. Imagine that your course project will be using this dataset for time series analysis. Now, imagine what insight or purpose your project would try to uncover by exploring this dataset with time series analysis. (Note: This is a purposefully abstract prompt. The only wrong answers are those that do not use your imagination and analytical abilities).

* iii. Choose one of the following time series methods and discuss how you would use the method in your study:

* o Lossy Counting

* o Random Sampling

* o Very Fast Decision Tree (VFDT)

* o Concept-Adapting Very Fast Decision Tree (CVFDT)

* o Hoeffding Tree

* o CluStream

* o Sequential Pattern Mining
