This paper proposes a random walk model to analyze visitors' mobility
patterns in a large museum. Visitors' available time makes their visiting
styles different, resulting in dissimilarity in the order and number of visited
places and in path sequence length. We analyze all this by comparing a
simulation model and observed data, which provide us the strength of the
visitors' mobility patterns. The obtained results indicate that shorter
stay-type visitors exhibit stronger patterns than those with the longer
stay-type, confirming that the former are more selective than the latter in
terms of their visitation type.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 4 table
