Contribution Analysis

Discovers hidden patterns within your data to explain statistical anomalies, and identify correlations behind unexpected customer actions, out-of-bound values, and sudden spikes or dips for metrics across audience segments.

You’ve found something odd in your data. Unearth the reasons behind it.

Data anomalies are a real headache. Sometimes they mean things are going better than expected. But too often, it means that someone’s tagged something wrong or a campaign ended prematurely. Or worse. The ability to automatically call out anomalies is one powerful feature of Adobe Analytics, but catching them is only one part of the equation. Just as important is understanding what caused the anomaly. For many analysts, this second step took time and required manually digging through large and varied data sets.

With the Contribution Analysis feature in Adobe Analytics, this time-consuming task can now be done literally with the click of a button. Contribution Analysis works together with Anomaly Detection to help you quickly understand what’s going on in your data. Built into the Analysis Workspace, Contribution Analysis queries tens of millions of data set to replace long and difficult analysis with useful visualizations that help you make the best decisions.
