Abstract

This paper is based on a UCI dataset analysis, which includes data generated through Google analytics. The data attributes describe the shopping intent of consumers and their likelihood of exiting the e-commerce website during browsing. This study has selected five attributes out of a total of 18 that were generated and seeks to capture the shopping intent based on the website browsing behavior of shoppers. All selected attributes are in numeric form, and the dependent variable is pagevalue which represents the average value for the user-visited webpage before the completion of a transaction. The proximity of a forthcoming special day is checked for its mediation effect on other independent variables based on web browsing behavior. The findings give some very interesting and relevant insights into the use of analytics on human online behavior.
