Does a dwell_time count a device only once and then adds on minutes for repeat visits, or does it count each visit for the same device as a separate number?

I have a question about the dataset columns bucketed_dwell_times and median_dwell, I wanted to know if these correspond to raw_visits or to raw_visitor_counts. Does a dwell_time count a device only once and then adds on minutes for repeat visits, or does it count each visit for the same device as a separate number?

Hey ! Thanks for the great question. If you sum bucketed_dwell_times, the total should equal raw_visit_counts. It relies on number of visits, not number of unique visitors. Try summing all the values for bucketed_dwell_times for a few of the rows to check it out for yourself!

Similarly for median_dwell , this is the median of the minimum dwell times we have calculated for each of the visits to the POI. Multiple visits from the same device would be separate values.
