Abstract
We investigate behavioral prediction approaches based on subspace methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA). Moreover, we propose a personalized sequential prediction approach to predict next day behavior based on features extracted from past behavioral data using subspace methods. The proposed approach is applied to the individual call (voice calls and short messages) behavior prediction task. Experimental results on the Nokia mobility data challenge (MDC) dataset are used to show the feasibility of our proposed prediction approach. Furthermore, we investigate whether prediction accuracy can be improved (i) when specific call type (voice call or short message), instead of the general call behavior prediction, is considered in the prediction task, and (ii) when workday and weekend scenarios are considered separately.
