Hey All!
I've recently come across a problem as part of a personal project I've been working on. I'm looking for any guidance from a more experienced Data Mining / Pattern Recognition person about what algorithm may fit this problem type. I'm familiar with basics of classifiers, but I'm not sure how to approach this one.
So basically the problem is this:
Given...
...a finite activity set (1,...,N), a parent category of each activity, and a history of activities a person said they would do versus what they actually did, along with the time of day the activities took place, what the accompanying activities were, what the previous activities were along with the planned future activities...
...What is...
...the likelyhood that given a person says they will do activity A now that they will actually do activity A?
Example:
Person said they were going to do A and C at time t1
They did A and B at time t1
Person said they were going to do B and C at time t2
They did D and E at time t3
Person says they will do B and D at time t4
What is the likelyhood of that?
You can assume that each activity has a parent category also, like A and B belong to category K1, C, D and E belong to K2 or something like that.
Any suggestions would be great!
