distance from home |
home location is often absent in the data for privacy reasons. It is often inferred using heuristics like the location at night |
different places visited |
characterized by the count of unique ones or the frequency distribution represented with entropy |
radius of gyration |
deviation from the centroid of the collection of places visited (S): , where C is the centroid location of S
|
entropy-based measures |
entropy of the distribution of the places visited |
POI-based features |
variance in the type of POIs, relative frequencies, etc. |
