In this study, we apply a statistical anomaly detection method based on multivariate binomial mixture models to mobile proximity data from 106 users. The method detects days when a person's social context is unexpected, and it provides a clustering of days based on the contexts. We present a detailed analysis regarding one user, identifying days with anomalous contexts, and potential reasons for the anomalies. We also study the overall anomalousness of people's social contexts. This analysis reveals a clear weekly oscillation in the predictability of the contexts and a weekend-like behavior on public holidays.", juforank = "1", url = "http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-34156-4_19", flags = "Tcogn Tsoci", il = "no", year = "2012", unitcode = "T306-100", impactfactor = "A4", pages = "195-206" }
