elog
event log, which is a data frame with columns for customer ID ("cust"), date ("date"), and optionally other columns such as "sales". Each row represents an event, such as a transaction.
dissipate.factor
integer indicating how much of the dataset
to eliminate. It must be greater than 1 for the function to
work. (dissipate.factor-1)/(dissipate.factor) events will be
removed from the event log. For example, if 2 is provided, 1/2 of
the event log is eliminated, and if 10 is provided, 9/10 of the
event log is eliminated.
