TaxHawk
is an online tax filing service here in Provo and this semester they ordered an
On-Campus Internship to preform statistical analyses to determine what makes a
user of their service either complete their taxes or abandon the process before
completing. One of the things they
wanted us to examine is if any of the order pattern in which users hit the
pages had any statistical significance. This is the problem I attempted to
answer. They gave us data from users and the order they hit each page and I
created a Visual Basics Sub Procedure that compares each user with all other
users in the data set and finds any common patterns in the order they hit the
pages. The Sub Procedure asks for a csv file containing user data, then finds
the patterns among the users included in that sample, and finally returns a csv
file including a list of all users and the found patterns marking the users
that followed the patterns.
