Specifying Statistical Intervals
Optimize uses statistical intervals to generate statistics and evaluate rules. A statistical interval is a period of time from which Analytic Engine takes collected data samples and creates common statistical values such as average, mean, and standard deviation.
You can group the days of the week and the minutes in the day to create statistical intervals. For example, you can choose to generate a new average, mean, and standard deviation for each type of data every work week (Monday through Friday). You can choose to generate a new average, mean, and standard deviation for each type of data every 12 hours.
To set statistical intervals
1. In My webMethods, navigate the following path: Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Environments> Define Environments.
2. Click the name of the configured environment for which you want to set statistical intervals.
3. Click the Configure Servers tab.
4. On the CONFIGURATION tree, find the Analytic Engine for which you want to set statistical intervals, and click Monitor Behavior Settings.
5. Set the defaultDays attribute, as described in the table below.
If you want to | Set to | Result |
Group all days of the week into one group. | all | Optimize generates statistical values from the data collected during the entire group of days to use for rules and fingerprints on each day. |
Divide the days of the week into work days (Monday through Friday) and weekend days (Saturday and Sunday). | work | Optimize generates statistical values from the data collected on work days to use for rules and fingerprints on each work day. Optimize also generates statistical values from the data collected on the weekend days to use for rules and fingerprints on each weekend day. This is the default. |
Not group any days. | day | Optimize generates statistical values from the data collected on each day of the week to use for rules and fingerprints on the applicable day. For example, Optimize generates statistical values from data collected on Monday to use for rules and fingerprints on Mondays. |
