There are two main categories of statistics in Source:
- Univariate statistics provide information on a single variable and are intended to summarise and reveal patterns in that variable, see Univariate Statistics SRG.
- Bivariate statistics compare two variables for the purpose of determining empirical relationships between them, see Bivariate Statistics SRG.
Locations
Statistics are generated and may be analysed in many parts of Source:
- In Results Manager:
- Auto-generated statistics, found on the Statistics tab, provide univariate and bivariate statistics for selected result(s), see Statistics - Auto-generated statistics.
- User-generated statistics provide a broader range of statistics for either an entire scenario or for a single result from different scenarios, see Statistics - User-generated statistics.
- In Calibration Wizard:
- During configuration, you select the objective function that the optimsation algorithm will either minimise or maximise during the calibration (depending on the statistic chosen), see Calibration Wizard for Catchments - Select elements to record.
- Once a calibration run has finished, you can view a summary of the objective function statistics from the calibration run in the Simulation Runner, or view univariate and bivariate statistics, see Calibration Wizard for Catchments - Inspecting calibration results.
- In Data Source Explorer, you can right click on a Data Source and select View Data to open a chart, table and statistics view of the data source. See Specifying data inputs - Data Sources Explorer.
