Popis: Abstract. Data about the shopping paths of customers in stores are now available due to developments in radio frequency identifica- tion technology. In this study, we conducted clustering of the shopping paths of customers gathered in a grocery store in Japan. We obtained nine typical movement patterns from the clustering results. In addition, we associated the customers’ shopping paths with purchase results obtained from point of sales data. We examined the movement patterns in terms of their demographic features, purchase results, stay time ratio for each sales area, and the shapes of the movement patterns.
