Frank McQuillan updated MADLIB-1002:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
Story

As a data scientist, I want to perform session reconstruction on my data set, 
so that I can prepare for input into other algorithms like path functions, or 
predictive analytics algorithms.

This is a follow on to 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-909
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1001
to add minimum time.

Details 

Add min time to the existing params:

{code}
‘output_all_cols = <value>, -- existing param
 create_view = <value>,  -- existing param
 min_time = <value>'
{code} 

Parameters

min_time (optional)
FLOAT   Minimum delta time that must elapse for an event to be considered a 
valid event (default=0).  If an event happens in less than min_time since the 
last valid event, it does not get included in the current session and is 
dropped. 

Implementation notes

1) Should be specified in the same units as the time_out parameter.   
2) Always compare against the last valid session event, not against one(s) that 
just got dropped.

For an example of how min_time could work, see Aster Analytics sessionization 
function [1].

‘output_all_cols = <value>, -- existing param
 create_view = <value>,  -- existing param
 min_time = <value>'
{code} 

Parameters

min_time (optional)
FLOAT  Minimum delta time that must elapse between events in order for this 
session to be considered a real (human) session (default=0).  User should 
specify in the same units as the time_out parameter.   Usage:  if an event 
happens less than min_time, do not include the event in the current session.  
When you look at the next event, compare against the last valid session event, 
not against the one you just dropped.

For an example of how min_time could work, see Aster Analytics sessionization 
function [1].
