GroupingByPers... is a data processing concept used to partition records by person-related keys. It groups data by a per-person identifier (for example user_id or customer_id) so that all records associated with the same person are collected together. The resulting structure maps each person key to a collection of their items or events, enabling per-person analysis and aggregation.

In practice, after grouping, aggregations are applied to each group. Common actions include counting records per person, summing numeric values, averaging measures, or deriving per-person statistics such as total spend or activity score. This approach supports descriptive analytics and the creation of per-user features for models.

Workflows typically involve selecting a person key, performing the grouping, and applying one or more aggregations. The technique is supported across platforms: SQL uses GROUP BY on person_id, while frameworks like Spark, Flink, or functional libraries provide groupingBy or groupByKey operations.

Applications include customer analytics, healthcare summaries, education progress tracking, and social network activity analysis. Privacy and data quality considerations are important: per-person data can be highly identifying, and inconsistent identifiers require normalization to avoid fragmentation of groups.

Related concepts include group-by, partitioning, and reduce patterns. Grouping by person is a common building block in analytics pipelines and per-user reporting.
