Recommendations Based on Purchase Patterns

Haiyun Lu

Abstract—We propose an approach of recommendation based on purchase patterns. The purchase history of users is analyzed to find their purchase patterns related to user behavior. These patterns are then used to predict the category of next possible purchase in a particular location. The proposed approach is experimented on real transaction data. Synthetic and simulation tests are conducted to evaluate the performance. Results show that it performs better than the baseline sequential pattern analysis.

Index Terms—Recommendation systems, purchase patterns, sequential pattern analysis.
