Description
att_abstract={{Understanding the mix of different types of people in a city is an important input into urban planning. In this paper we identify distinct sectors of a population by their cellular phone usage. In a study of a small suburban city in New Jersey, we use unsupervised clustering to identify the usage patterns of heavy users. We uncover 7 unique usage patterns. We interpret two of the patterns as belonging to commuters and students, and verify these interpretations with deeper analysis of temporal and spatial patterns.}},
