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 />
