Advan monthly patterns has data for only 29 days in November
Hi. I have noticed that in the Advan monthly patterns data, November has only 29 entries per POI. I know that this is due to day light savings. My question is that if the missing entry (date) corresponds to the same day when day light saving ends (i.e. first Sunday of November)?
Weekly Patterns of Advan not updated since June 2025
Hello, I am trying to download the Foot Traffic / Weekly Patterns dataset of Advan until the most recent date, which I expected to be maximum one week ago. However, when I check the metadata it says "Data max available date: 2025-06-23". Has this dataset not been updated since June? Why and when will it be updated with the remaining months?
How are median dwell times calculated in Advan Neighborhood Patterns data?
I am wondering how the "MEDIAN_DWELL" variable is calculated in the Advan Neighborhood Patterns dataset. The variable description is somewhat vague:
Advan vs Veraset daily visits/visitors
Hi, I'm running a comparison of the Advan raw daily visits to the Veraset daily visitors for a specific location for a set of dates. I'm finding that the counts are inconsistent with each other. Is Advan not using Veraset for their underlying data? Thanks! Below are the pulls I'm looking at:
bucketed_dwell_times for weekly pattern plus files
I noticed in the documentation (https://docs.deweydata.io/docs/weekly-patterns-plus#additional-column-information) for the weekly-pattern-plus files that the bucketed dwell time has 61–120 and 121–240 as separate categories, but the file only has one category (61-240): “{\”<5\”:0, \”5-20\”:0, \”21-60\”:0,\”61-240\”:0,\”>240\”:1018}”. Am I missing something? Can someone help me figure this out?
Method for estimating the actual count in Neighborhood Patterns Plus
Hello Dewey team,
Unekpected decay in footfall for Los Angeles 2023 (Advan Weekly Patterns)
Hello,
Is it still necessary to normalize Advan Weekly and Monthly Patterns Data using the Home Panel Summary
In the (distant) past when we got Monthly and Weekly Patterns data from SafeGraph, when we wanted to scale, say, the number of visitors per day from a particular CBG, we would use the Home Panel Summary dataset in combination with the Census CBG population count to create a scaling factor that we could to impute visitor counts to an area from the raw visit counts (e.g. https://stanfordfuturebay.github.io/covid19/safegraph_normalization_explainer.html#:~:text=This%20number%20can%20be%20obtained,the%20actual%20number%20of%20visitors.)
Is Advan Monthly Patterns dataset still being updated?
The Foot Traffic / Monthly Patterns data shows the latest available date as June 1, 2025, while the Weekly Patterns Plus is current through September 15, 2025. Is the Monthly Patterns dataset still being updated on a monthly basis?
Question about Missing Values in Traffic Mobile Data (Safeway Stores)
I want to ask about missing values in some weeks of traffic mobile data for Safeway stores. For example, in the city of Kahului, there are missing values across many weeks during 2018. I am trying to understand the reason for these missing values. Could it be because the store was closed, or due to a technical issue in collecting the data in that city?
I also noticed that in some weeks the missing values appear only on Sundays. Could this be because the store was closed on Sundays?
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
