Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes selecting an overall set of end-user transactions. The method further includes selecting an outcome. In addition, the method includes identifying an outcome-filtered subset of the overall set, the outcome-filtered subset comprising end-user transactions of the overall set associated with the selected outcome. The method also includes, for each transaction property of a plurality of transaction properties, measuring a difference between the transaction property's prevalence in the outcome-filtered subset and the transaction property's prevalence in the overall set. The measuring yields a property-prevalence differential for each transaction property. Moreover, the method includes, based, at least in part, on the property-prevalence differentials, determining one or more of the plurality of transaction properties to be correlation factors for the selected outcome.
