Create an analysis to reveal relations and correlations
among data.
Before you begin
You must create one or more boundary areas before you can
create an analysis.
About this task
An analysis collects data from specified categories
that are related to a particular boundary area and runs a selected
analysis on that data. An analysis can include a set of correlation
rules to be applied to the data. You can select the data to analyze,
the boundary area of interest, date and time, and the type of analysis.
- To reveal concentrations data or events, choose a hotspot analysis.
- To apply greater or lesser weight to certain attributes and reveal
concentrations of data or events. choose a weighted hotspot analysis.
- To reveal deviations from expected data, choose an anomaly analysis.
- To reveal patterns or density of traffic that is based on GPS
data, choose a route tracking analysis.
- To prioritize action that is based on selected criteria, choose
a prioritized properties analysis.
- To compare statistics in a current period to the same statistics
in a previous period, choose a comparative statistics analysis.
- To reveal relative density of data or events, choose a heat map
analysis.
Procedure
- Open the Analytics toolbar and select
the type of analysis to create.
- Hotspot
- Weighted Hotspot
- Anomaly
- Route Tracking by Frequency
- Route Tracking by Path
- Prioritized Properties
- Comparative Statistics
- Heat Map
- Click .
- On the Common page, specify a name
and description.
- On the When page, specify a time range,
such as the last month, or specify a beginning and ending date and
time for the analysis. Ensure that the dates for the data
that is being analyzed fall within the specified time interval.
- On the Where page, select the area
to include in the analysis. You must have already created
the area.
- On the What page, select the data
sources to include in the analysis.
- Depending on the type of analysis that you created, more
parameters might be available on additional pages. For
example, weighted hotspot analysis can include analytic details, scoring,
and grouping.
- On the Appearance page, select the
order for lists, time interval to display on the chart, the color
to display for each value or range, and whether to send an alert for
that value.
- On the Alerting page, choose whether
to be notified that analysis results are ready to view. You
can choose to notify individuals users or groups.
- On the Scheduling page, choose whether
to schedule the analysis to run at specified intervals. Even
though you scheduled the analysis to run at some future time and date,
the analysis will always run first when you click Save
and Run.
- Click Save and Run. If
you change parameters and click Save and Run before
the analysis is complete, the analysis that is running stops and the
new analysis runs.
- When the analysis is complete, click and select
the location that you selected on the Where page.
- Click the analysis type.
- Select the analysis to view.
- Click Map to view results on the
map, or List to view results details, or Report if
a report was created.
- View the chart for another perspective on the analysis
results.
