Offer HN: Let me give you a report on your customers?
I am working on a few network analysis algorithms. However, I would like to run them on some real world data to see if anyone is actually interested in the results.
What do you get?
That's where you (hopefully) step in. If you supply me with your anonymized customer data, I will provide you with a report containing:
- Basic network statistics (found here: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_analysis))
- Clusters of related customers
- Pretty pictures of your data
- Some new analysis that you can't get from current graphing libraries
Contact
If that has piqued your interest, please get in touch with me the address in my profile.
Details
The one caveat is that I can only take a certain type of data. Namely, where your customers are connected in some way to other customers. This can be through:
- one customer referred the other
- both bought the same item / rented the same movie / etc.
- one follows the other on Twitter
- basically, anything from which I can create something like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Graph_betweenness.svg
(Also, you'll probably need > 50 entries to get anything significant in the report.)
If you aren't sure if your data complies, send me an email!
