A thoroughly underwhelming post, in my humble opinion. Could have been summed up in 4 sentences rather than a whole post's worth of blogspam.

my thoughts exactly. i'd love to see an actual tutorial on how to do this with dummy data.

The two HN discussions I found that seemed to have useful info on cohort analysis:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5245571 (Cohort analysis - User retention in a Rails application, 203 days ago)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4122000 (How we reduced our cancellation rate by 87.5%, 450 days ago)

The second link references the following class: http://www.skillshare.com/classes/business/Data-to-Dollars-U... ($35; 90 minutes in NY)
