Pattern-of-life analysis is a method of surveillance specifically used for documenting or understanding a subject's habits. This form of observation is generally done without the consent of the subject, with motives including but not limited to security, profit, scientific research, regular censuses, and traffic analysis.
Pattern-of-life analysis is not limited to one medium and can encompass anything in an individual's life: from their internet browsing habits, to a record of instances of choices made in order to determine a statistical 'favorite'.
This information can then potentially be used to predict future actions by the subject being observed.
