1. A network device, comprising:
- a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; and
a processor that is operative to perform actions, comprising;
receiving telecommunications customer data for a plurality of customers;
extracting from the data a time series for each of the plurality of customers;
computing for each of the plurality of customers, spectral content for each time series data within a time window;
performing a grouping from the spectral content to generate a plurality of groups; and
classifying each customer time series within one of the plurality of groups, the groups usable to dynamically market to at least one customer identified by a cluster.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed that leverage time series techniques to express entity-activity data in a longitudinal temporal form, which may then be employed to dynamically classify the entity'"'"'s behavior. In some embodiments, groupings or segmentations of different entities that exhibit similar profiles of longitudinal temporal form are identified using various techniques, including frequency-domain analysis, and/or unsupervised model-based clustering. The clustering of entities enables directing of offerings to, for example, a telecommunication'"'"'s customer based on characteristics of the cluster.
