Correlation Analysis handling of time properties #8143

Open neilkakkar opened 2 years ago

neilkakkar commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Correlation analysis on datetime based properties is mostly useless, since the aggregation here doesn't happen properly. It's rare for even two users to share the same time, upto the second.

Describe the solution you'd like

When doing correlation analysis, group time-based properties into intervals. Perhaps make this configurable. This allows correlation analysis to say that people with createdAt between 0 and 3 months are 10x more likely to ___.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None so far.

Additional context

cc: @joesaunderson for the good idea!

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!
