Reality Mining Dataset - Publications and Findings

Reality mining: sensing complex social systems, Nathan Eagle, Alex (Sandy) Pentland, Journal Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Volume 10 Issue 4, March 2006 Pages 255 - 268

Eagle and collaborators showed that the decision of individuals to identify another as friend was significantly correlated with whether he was with the other person after work hours and during weekends or within the two weeks before the friendship survey, as captured by cell phone. They also demonstrated the periodicity of an individual's personal behavior, identified by individual whereabouts with cell phones, and the individual's interaction with other individuals, also captured by cell phones, which periodicity they called "eigen-behavior". The Reality Mining data set has generated more than 1000 citations.
