This data table looks at tobacco advertisements that are likely to draw a child’s attention (e.g. advertisements below three feet, advertisements near candy). The California Tobacco Retail Surveillance Study (CTRSS), formerly the California Tobacco Advertising Survey (CTAS), is the longest-running tobacco marketing surveillance system in any state in the United States. The study assessed the availability, placement, and promotions of tobacco products in the retail setting. The study’s sample excluded tobacco retailers that require either club membership (e.g. Costco, golf courses) or had minimum-age restrictions (e.g. bars). Unusual retailer categories that were unlikely to display or advertise tobacco products, such as donut shops, were also excluded

We aim to provably complete a sparse and highly-missing tensor in the presence of covariate information along tensor modes. Our motivation comes from online advertising where users’ click-through-rates (CTR) on ads over various devices form a CTR tensor that has about 96% missing entries and has many zeros on non-missing entries, which makes the standalone tensor completion method unsatisfactory. Beside the CTR tensor, additional ad features or user characteristics are often available. In this paper, we propose Covariate-assisted Sparse Tensor Completion (COSTCO) to incorporate covariate information for the recovery of the sparse tensor. The key idea is to jointly extract latent components from both the tensor and the covariate matrix to learn a synthetic representation. Theoretically, we derive the error bound for the recovered tensor components and explicitly quantify the improvements on both the reveal probability condition and the tensor recovery accuracy due to covariates. Finally, we apply COSTCO to an advertisement dataset consisting of a CTR tensor and ad covariate matrix, leading to 23% accuracy improvement over the baseline. An important by-product is that ad latent components from COSTCO reveal interesting ad clusters, which are useful for better ad targeting.
