Retentioneering is a powerful Python library designed to simplify the analysis of user behavior through clickstream data, enabling you to uncover valuable insights about user interactions and retention. This blog will guide you through the fundamental steps you need to take to harness the full potential of Retentioneering.

Understanding Retentioneering

Think of Retentioneering as a detective in the world of data analysis. Just like a detective examines clues (user events) to piece together a story (user path), Retentioneering allows analysts to dive deep into user behavior and uncover what drives users to take action or disengage.

Why Use Retentioneering?

• Analyze clickstreams and user trajectories more effectively than traditional funnel analysis.
• Segment users based on behavior and identify patterns that impact conversion rates and retention.
• Leverage a user-friendly interface that doesn’t require extensive programming knowledge.

Installation of Retentioneering

Installing the Retentioneering library is straightforward. You can easily install it via pip using the command below in your terminal:

pip install retentioneering

You can also run the same command directly from your Jupyter notebook or Google Colab:

!pip install retentioneering

Getting Started

Once installed, it’s advisable to run through the Quick Start document to familiarize yourself with the basic functionalities and get your first insights.

Exploring the Structure of Retentioneering

Retentioneering offers two main components:

• Preprocessing Module: This module provides methods for processing clickstream data, optimizing event grouping, filtering, and more. Just like a chef prepares ingredients for cooking, this module prepares your data for analysis.
• Path Analysis Tools: These tools allow for deep examination of user journeys using various visualization techniques. Imagine being a tour guide who helps others navigate a complicated landscape—these tools help make sense of user behavior.

Data Input

The raw data can be obtained from platforms like Google Analytics BigQuery. Convert your data into a list of triples (user_id, event, timestamp) for use in Retentioneering’s tools, or take advantage of the sample datasets provided for quick experimentation.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you experience any issues during installation or usage, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that you are using Python 3.6 or higher, as version compatibility might cause conflicts.
• Check for internet connectivity issues if pip fails to download the package.
• For deeper knowledge and troubleshooting options, consult the complete documentation available here.
