##reconstructr A package for session reconstruction and analysis in R.

Author: Oliver Keyes

Status: Stable

###Description

A well-studied part of web analytics and human-computer interaction is the concept of a "session": a series of linked user actions. This is used for anything from evaluating the impact of design or engineering changes on users, to providing common, high-level metrics such as time-on-page or bounce rate.

reconstructr is a library designed to efficiently reconstruct sessions from a series of user events, and then generate common metrics from that session-based data, including bounce rate, session length and time-on-page. It features heavy internal use of C++ to make it lightning-fast over datasets containing millions or tens of millions of events, along with a wide range of options with each function, allowing you to heavily customise what data is produced and what data is evaluated. For more information, see the introductory vignette.

reconstructr is under active development: if you find bugs or have suggestions for new features, please feel free to report them.
