Understanding Graph Settings
|
Menu Option Description
|
Settings Details
|
a. Time Frame
This adjusts the time frame viewed on the graph
|
The default setting is 3 months, this can be adjusted to a pre-set range or a custom date range. Preset ranges include: Today; Yesterday; Previous 7, 14, or 30 days; Previous 3 or 6 months; Previous year; Last week, This week, Last Month, This Month, or All Time
|
b. Data Source
This determines the source of the data being pulled onto the graph
|
- Session Data - this is the default and most common. This will pull the data from the sessions that have been run
- Targets - This uses the targets themselves as the data source instead of session data. This is for use with cumulative and insights graphs. This changes some menu options such as options on the x- and y-axis
- Trial by Trial - This pulls in the data specifically for each trial. It is most commonly used for SBT but can be useful to analyze data on a trial level
- Behavior Incidents - This is used for ABC Data
|
c. X-axis settings
Adjusts what data or values are displayed on the x-axis
|
- Daily (default), Weekly, Monthly - will change the time frame of the data on the x-axis
- Session - will separate out data per session. This is useful if there are multiple sessions per day. The x-axis will display a number that corresponds to the session displayed
- Program - this puts each program on the x-axis. Can useful to compare programs to each other (see e. filter settings for instructions on pulling multiple programs to the graph). Defaults to a column chart, but can be changed (see g. chart types)
- Targets - shows each target separately along the x-axis. Defaults to a column chart, but can be changed (see g. chart types)
- Prompt Level - shows each prompt level for the program separately along the x-axis. The way this displays will depend on your prompt level template and y-axis settings
- For example, if using a regular prompt level template, each prompt will either show as 100% or 0%, when graphing with success rate on the y-axis.
- User - shows each user that has run the program during that time frame separately along the x-axis
|
d. Y-axis settings
Adjusts what data or values are displayed on the y-axis
|
- Success rate - This will show the success rate / percent correct for the data shown, based on what responses are set as correct in the prompt level template
- Successful Observations - shows a frequency/count of how many trials have been marked as correct according to the prompt level template
- Occurrences - shows a total number of data points taken across all prompt levels
- Percentage of total - works for comparing multiple programs/targets/prompt level/etc. Shows a stacked column chart, indicating what percentage of the total number of trials each program/target/prompt level comprised.
- Frequency options - these settings can be used for displaying rate data
- Occurrences per minute/hour/day - Hi Rasmus calculates the rate data by # occurrences / duration of program in hours (which is often tied to session duration). This gives the HOURLY rate.
- To get DAILY rate we take the hourly rate and multiply by 24.
- EXAMPLE: 4 occurrences in an 8 hour session = 0.5 occurrences / hour. 0.5 X 24 = 12 occurrences / day
- Successes per minute/hour/day - this is calculated similarly to occurrences (above), but will just count successful responses if there are both successful/unsuccessful options on the prompt level template
- Duration - these settings can be used for adjusting what duration is displayed on the graph
- Total observed duration - displays the total duration for the whole session, across all recorded instances
- Min. Observed Duration - each data point displayed on the graph represents the instance with the shortest duration recorded during the session
- Max. Observed Duration - each data point displayed on the graph represents the instance with the longest duration recorded during the session
- Avg. Observed Duration - each data point displayed represents the average duration of all instances recorded during the session
- Prompt Fading: Prompt Success-rate - this option can be used with programs set with an automatic prompt fading prompt level template. This will show the success rate of each prompt level during the session
- Clinical performance - Occurrences per session hour will show a rate based on the session timer. This setting is available for skill acquisition programs and others that are not frequency
|
e. Filter Settings
Allows you to pull multiple programs onto the graph and look at all the data based on different settings or fields (*note: these will all show as one data path unless you adjust the group settings, explained in f below)
|
- Programs - select multiple programs to put together on one graph. These programs should be the same type of programs (e.g. all frequency programs), as you can only have one value on the y-axis
- Tags - select a tag to put all programs with that tag on the graph
- Program Type - select one or multiple types of programs to pull all programs of that type on the graph
- Target Status - select one or more target statuses to pull data from all targets with that status on to the graph
- Users - select one or more users to pull all data taken by the user(s) on to the graph
|
f. Group Settings
These settings allow you to group the data in different ways to see separate data paths
|
- No grouping - All data selected on the graph will be shown on one data path
- Program - can be used if you have multiple programs displayed on the graph (see e. Filter Settings), and each program will be shown on a different data path
- Target - can be used if you have data from multiple targets (within the same program or different programs) on the graph, and each target will be shown on a different data path
- Prompt Level - will group together data paths based on prompt level
- This is best when using either weighted prompt levels or when putting occurrences on the y axis.
- User - this will group the data taken by each user on a different data path
- Hinted Prompt Level - for the automatic prompt fading program. The hinted prompt level is the prompt level shown on the screen before the data point is taken
- Mode - This is for programs with different modes, such as SBT or Sufficient Exemplar Training, and will group based on the mode selected on the program.
|
g. Chart Types
These settings change the chart type and how the data is visually displayed
|
- Line chart - displays the data as a typical line chart
- Column chart - displays the data as a column chart. Some settings will default to a column chart
- Stacked column chart - displays the data as a column chart with the ability to show multiple different values within each column
- Logarithmic line chart - can be used with certain types of targets such as frequency to show proportional change over time and to clarify long-term trends
- Scatterplot - displays the data as a traditional scatterplot style graph (note: this is not an ABA scatterplot graph - for this type of graph, see Heatmap below)
- Heatmap - only works when the x-axis is set to display data by session. Displays the data visually on the graph with time of day on the y-axis and day of the week on the x-axis. This does not capture the exact timestamp of the data point, but captures the start time of the session where the data occurs. Most useful for ABC data, which does have a timestamp associated
|
h. Annotations
These settings cover trend lines, average lines, and phase change lines
|
- Trend - toggle this setting on to show a trend line of the current data. This is only available if graphing by session on the x-axis. This will show a different trend line for each data path on the graph
- Average - toggle this setting on to add an average line to the graph. This will display the average of each data path on the graph
- Phase lines
- Click the toggle button next to the client/program name displayed to turn on/off phase lines for specific programs. Click the arrow to see where the phase change lines are, and edit specific lines.
- Click โAdd Phase Lineโฆโ to add a new line to the graph. Pick a start date and time, add a label, and then click which programs to apply it to
|
i. Additional Settings
|
- Hide deleted targets - this can be toggled on to hide any targets that have been deleted from a program.
|
Other options
|
- Gear wheel icon at top right of graph - these open the general chart settings
- Change the theme to be colorful or black and white, and add a chart title
- Y-Axis Settings: Add a custom label, min/max values, or disable gridlines
- X-Axis Settings: Add a custom label or disable grid lines
- Custom date format: When graphing by session on the x-axis, you can adjust the date format here
- Favorite a setting - after adjusting the settings, you can press the star in the top right corner of the graph. This will mark this setting as the default view of the graph
- If the star appears as an outline, there are no custom settings favorited
- If the star appears filled in, it is showing the previously set defaults
- Export graphs - the export icon is located at the top right of the graph next to the star. You can export the graph as an image, PDF, PDF with data table, excel, or print.
