Beside the introduced notification service, also a comparison of the door openings’<br />
quantity to other devices and a graphical distribution of the stored temperature<br />
sequence should be added. The analysis of door openings could be used to optimize<br />
the usage of cooling devices. If, for example, two freezers of the same type do exist,<br />
they should have about the same quantity of door openings in the mean. Otherwise,<br />
some often accessed contents should be stored to the device with less door<br />
openings to improve the cooling behavior of both freezers.<br />
The graphical distribution could be used to get brief information of the cooling<br />
device’s accuracy. A very small distribution with a high peak indicates a very<br />
accurate behavior with little deviation. By contrast, a broad deviation or several<br />
smaller peaks may indicate a very inaccurate behavior. 66 This suggested distribution<br />
should offer highly aggregate information to evaluate the general behavior of the<br />
corresponding cooling device at a glance.<br />
Section 5.10.4 will review probable improvements by applying basic statistics and<br />
consecutively introduced ideas to the setting of sensor based temperature<br />
monitoring. The case study in chapter 6 applies these ideas to a sample dataset to<br />
validate these estimated improvements.<br />
5.10.2 Detection of Changes in Behavior by the Use of Regression<br />
The last section introduced a promising possibility to detect changes in behavior on<br />
daily basis by the use of basic statistical measures. Also promising is the use of<br />
regression. Section 5.4.2 pointed out that regression can be used to describe a<br />
temperature sequence by determining a regression function. This possibility leads to<br />
two general ideas:<br />
1. The comparison of single cooling cycles to each other<br />
2. The determination of a trend in general behavior on the long run<br />
To compare single cooling cycles to each other, a polynomial regression function<br />
could be determined for a single representative cooling cycle. Afterwards, the<br />
coefficient of determination could be used to calculate the fit of other cycles to this<br />
regression function. 67 In case of a significant change in fit, a general change in<br />
behavior could be discovered.<br />
