Factor Creation / Analysis – Factor groups work best when stations of similar traffic
patterns are grouped together. DataView offers a tool that helps analyze data and find
the best relationship between existing stations.
To use this tool, data should already exist in published form for all desired stations (see
Chapter 5 for information on how to publish data). From the Factor Group Settings
menu, select the time period and published data source to use. Click Analyze Sea-
sonal Variation to begin the calculation. Depending on the number of stations and the
amount of data, this operation may take several minutes to complete.
Note
Although the factor group tool can use any amount of data to create the graph, more
data will result in a more accurate graph.
When completed, the station graph will be drawn on the screen, similar to Figure 3.11.
In addition, the list of stations will be automatically re-sorted on the right to corre-
spond to the graph.
