An algorithm will classify whether a listing was active or not during the month. We look into three different sources, namely:

1.  Calendar pattern;
2.  Whether a review was generated close to the month or not; and
3.  Listing information.

A listing can be determined entirely available or not.

Revenue is calculated using the following equation:

revenue = (reservation_days * adr) + (cleaning_fees*number_of_reservation)

On a side note, if we don't have the information about the number of monthly reservations, we assume it to be 1.

When calculating the occupancy rate, we take a few things into consideration:

1. Calendar scraped data (mostly on a weekly basis)
2. Assume last-minute booking
3. The inactivity algorithm can affect this too

If we determine an inactive listing, the occupancy rate will be 0.

Airbtics' primary data source is attained through a web scraping software that directly takes data points from Airbnb. We also have secondary data sources from Airbnb hosts via iCal or vacation rental managers.
