 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Behavior informatics (BI) is the informatics of behaviors so as to obtain behavior intelligence and behavior insights. BI is a research method combining science and technology, specifically in the area of engineering. The purpose of BI includes analysis of current behaviors as well as the inference of future possible behaviors. This occurs through such as pattern recognition. [1]
Different from applied behavior analysis from the psychological perspective, BI builds computational theories, systems and tools to qualitatively and quantitatively model, represent, analyze, and manage behaviors of individuals, groups and/or organizations [1].
BI is built on classic study of behavioral science, including behavior modeling, applied behavior analysis, behavior analysis, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior. Typical BI tasks consist of individual and group behavior formation, representation, computational modeling, analysis, learning, simulation, and understanding of behavior impact, utility, non-occurring behaviors etc. for behavior intervention and management. The Behavioral informatics (stick with only abbreviating or typing out the full name) approach to data is a means of using utilizes cognitive data as well as behavioral data. By combining the data, BI could hopefully be used to see has the potential to effectively illustrate the big picture when it comes to behavioral decisions and patterns.[2]
Behavioral Informatics is gaining in popularity and labs based on employing the research procedure are gaining traction and becoming more prominent. This includes labs at Rutger's University, University of Virginia, and New York University. Rutger's University is among the forefront in research of BI.

Instructor Feedback (delete once addressed): I have included my suggested edits above in bold for your consideration. Both of the citations included are appropriate for the platform, though the first is not formatted correctly (errors in red). I am not sure the final statements about popular labs are the most appropriate, particularly without a citation. I would encourage you to review the final assignment rubric so you are aware of the areas I plan to assess for the final submission and ensure you are addressing all of them.
