Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing performance in an online professional network, the method comprising: receiving time series data for user actions, wherein for each user action, the time series data comprises a series of numbers associated with consecutive time intervals, wherein a given number indicates a number of times the user action occurred during the time interval; receiving time series data for performance metrics, wherein for each performance metric, the time series data comprises a series of numbers associated with consecutive time intervals, wherein a given number indicates the number of times the performance metric occurred during the time interval; and performing a time series analysis on the received time series data for user actions and performance metrics to determine relationships between the user actions and the performance metrics; wherein performing the time series analysis comprises, fitting the time series model by, solving the time series model using a multivariate regression technique.
