Abstract
Techniques for automatic identification of sources of web metric changes are described. In one or more implementations, changes in a web metric that indicate a measurable attribute associated with a website are determined, and the web metric is analyzed to identify sources that contributed to the changes in the web metric. In implementations, data is queried to obtain actual values for dimension elements along one or more dimensions of the web metric. In addition, expected values for the dimension elements are estimated along the dimensions of the web metric based on historical data. Then, deviations between the actual values and the expected values are calculated by using comparable statistics. Subsequently, the comparable statistics can be analyzed to identify corresponding dimension elements as the sources that contributed to the changes in the web metric.
