Abstract:
Techniques are provided for transforming information about unique visits to a website or interactions with a mobile application by a single individual on different devices into unified analytical data representing these visits. One or more visitor stitching models can be used to quantify unique visits as belonging to the same person with a certain level of confidence. In addition to maintaining separate records for each unique visit, a unified record is generated, which represents a combination of the unique visits by the same person. Various analytics can then be performed on the unique and unified records. The unified records are favored over the separate data records wherever the stitching model corresponding to the unified record provides a certainty that meets or exceeds a user-specified confidence level. The visitor stitching model used for the analytics is considered non-committal because different models can be employed or none at all, depending on user preferences.
