Understanding backfills
1 day ago by Madison Perry
I am wondering how the backfills actually work in the weekly patterns foot-traffic data. I understand that they are generated monthly, whenever a new Advan POI is added to the dataset and that this basically constitutes a back-attribution of past traffic in that POI's polygon. Does this revise any of the visit counts for nearby POIs? For instance, say I have two businesses next to each other and one is newly identified as a POI. Does the algorithm re-attribute some of the visits that were previously recorded under Business A to the newly-added Business B?
