How are scorecard trends calculated?

Scorecard trends are calculated using a common data analysis technique known as linear regression, which reliably and predictably converts raw data into actionable insights. Trends are calculated according to the time range and comparison period selected, utilizing each line of produced data as an individual point in the equation.

Data is listed in reverse chronological order with the most recent data shown at the top. Expand the location list to review historical data.

The trend associated with each selected metric is included in the most recent data line item shown at the top of each location list. Depending on the filters/rules that have been applied to the scorecard, trends will show as trending positively or negatively (green or red).
