Explanation of how to use statistical graphs
How graphs work on case numbers
Graphs allow you to visualize the evolution of variables in histogram or curve mode (top selection).
For the number of cases, you can choose the number of cases per period or the average number of cases per year over the periods. Periods vary greatly in length, as they are more closely linked to the events of our civilization than to durations; so to compare periods, it's better to compare the annual number of cases over the period.
Then you can select cases with more specific durations (e.g. > 3 months or > 1 month and < 6 months).
You can also filter by testimonial level (either > X or < Y or within a range).
Then, following the diagrams, you can select countries (simply display the countries and select 1 to 6). To simplify management in any language, country names are in English.
Finally, you can also filter cases according to the presence of particular characteristics (e.g.: large objects thrown/moved, appearances, etc.); the number of characteristics selected is displayed in the bar with an orange dot. The graph is displayed with the parameters used.
You can directly copy the image to retrieve the graph.
How poltergeist event type graphs works
On these diagrams you have the choice of histogram/curve and also display in numbers or percentages.
You can also make the same selections as above for durations and testimonial levels.
Choose the characteristics you want to represent (up to 6).
You can choose between an AND function (all selected characteristics must be present for the case to be selected) and a non-exclusive OR function (only one of the characteristics needs to be present).
Example: you want to see all the cases in which an agent has been identified: you can choose characteristics 10,11,12,13,14 and the OR function (At least one of the characteristics); You can then return to the form and switch to % or switch from the histogram to the curve.
The first graph shows the evolution over the periods.
Another chart shows trends by country (or by country and period).
To do this, a box appears in the settings form to select from 1 to 8 countries.
You can then choose to view the evolution by country or by period.
Finally, another graph shows the evolution of components as a function of case duration;
Here too, you can choose between histograms or curves, in numbers or percentages, and select a testimony level interval.
Then you get the evolution graph over a series of duration intervals in months (so 0.2 corresponds roughly to one week).
Evolution of average testimonial levels and average detail levels by historical period
You can select histograms or curves and the case duration intervals that interest you.
You can also choose to retain only those cases in which a given characteristic was present (e.g. teleportation).
You'll obtain the evolution of the corresponding levels of testimony and detail over the historical periods, with the precision of the characteristic(s) retained for analysis.
