Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring conversion probabilities of a path types for an attribution model includes, identifying by a processor, paths taken by visitors to visit a website. The paths correspond to a sequence of events that cause a visitor to visit the website. The processor can identify as paths, for each path, subpaths corresponding to each visit to the website. The processor computes a total path count for each path type. The processor identifies, for each path type, a conversion path count indicating a number of paths taken by visitors that resulted in a conversion at the website. The processor calculates, for each path type, a probability of conversion and then provides the calculated probability of conversion for a given path type for an attribution model used in assigning attribution credit to events of a path.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting content for display at a device includes, identifying by a processor, a visitor identifier associated with a device on which to display content. The processor can identify a path associated with the visitor identifier. The path corresponding to a sequence of one or more events through which the visitor identifier has visited the website. The processor can identify a conversion probability of the identified path. The conversion probability of the identified path indicates a likelihood that the visitor identifier will convert at the website. The conversion probability of the identified path is a ratio of a number of conversions at the website to a number of visits to the website over a given time period. The processor can select content for display. The content selected based on the identified conversion probability of the identified path.

Abstract: Unified optical fiber-based distributed antenna systems (DASs) for supporting small cell communications deployment from multiple small cell service providers are disclosed. The unified optical fiber-based DASs disclosed herein are configured to receive multiple small cell communications from different small cell service providers to be deployed over optical fiber to small cells in the DAS. In this manner, the same DAS architecture can be employed to distribute different small cell communications from different small cell service providers to small cells. Use of optical fiber for delivering small cell communications can reduce the risk of having to deploy new cabling if bandwidth needs for future small cell communication services exceeds conductive wiring capabilities. Optical fiber cabling can also allow for higher distance cable runs to the small cells due to the lower loss of optical fiber, which can provide for enhanced centralization services.
