FB rode a bubble. An IPO is supposed be some mix of (a) like a giant VC round, with various institutional investors instead of VCs. The idea is that the company needs the money to fund growth. and (b) a chance for early shareholders to cash

I think the general approach is dimensionality reduction: start measuring, and round down to 0 for the low-correlation pairs of events. Do you actually have a stream of more than N^2 observations to process? If not, then most of your correl
