identify the probable information gain by using descriptive statistics to better comply<br />

with the determined requirements. 63<br />

The basic idea is to detect changes in general behavior by comparison of basic<br />

measures from different succeeding time intervals. This time interval can generally<br />

be chosen freely. As this diploma thesis assumes data of at least several months, a<br />

time interval of one day per value leads to meaningful results. 64<br />

The smaller a time interval is chosen, the higher is the influence of new<br />

measurement values. On the other hand, too small time intervals, like hours for<br />

instance, could lead to significantly deviating results, even if the behavior of the<br />

monitored device did not change. This problem is mostly caused by the random<br />

behavior of employees. Even a chosen time interval of one day per value can lead to<br />

deviating results, if the user behavior differs significantly. To exclude random user<br />

behavior, a division of the analyzing task into daytime- and nighttime data analysis is<br />

promising.<br />

The door sensor data can be used to define the daily daytime and nighttime intervals.<br />

Daytime starts with the first door opening and ends a defined time range after the last<br />

door opening. This allows, for instance, a comparison of nighttime or daytime mean<br />

values of different days. As the nighttime values are not influenced by random user<br />

behavior, they should be very similar. Variances in daytime values could indicate<br />

employee deviance.<br />

Based on this idea, the aimed goal to gain additional knowledge can be added to<br />

XiltriX (or of course as well to any other monitoring system) by implementing an<br />

automated notification service. This service should calculate and compare daily<br />

daytime and nighttime values of minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation.<br />

Median and Mode values are not promising due to their ignorance of outliers. 65<br />

In case of a significant change of one of these values from one day to another, the<br />

person in charge should be notified. A classification as significant change should be<br />

done, as soon as the daily change is higher than delta times the regular changing<br />

behavior. To be able to define this behavior, historical data is needed. In general,<br />

data of a few days may suffice, but data of a longer time span probably assures the<br />

gained results.<br />
