Abstract
An electronic system may be configured receive a set of location-based events and form the location-based events into a plurality of groups. The location-based events identify user devices that transmitted messages over the network and physical locations of the user devices when the messages were generated. The groups may be formed based on the physical locations and the number of groups to be formed. In some embodiments, the system may use k-means clustering to form the groups. The system may analyze the groups to determine a home location of at least some of the user devices identified in the set.
