Description of Data Summaries

Introduction

The data collection and analytical software developed in the early days of the Project have been remarkably effective and robust. They provide access to the data and some analysis tools, as well as a variety of displays of processed data. Additional facilities, especially for the displays, have been added over the years, and this page lists the array of possibilities with annotation and links. For the original page, which includes remarks intended to help with the interpretation of data summaries, you can go to historical access page.

Daily summaries are automatically created at day's end. To provide time for late reporting eggs, the summaries are rebuilt about two days later.

The Web-based data extract request form creates a CSV file that in most browsers is written to the screen in a frame. It can be downloaded to a file on your computer for further processing. Note: There are occasional bad data that must be filtered. We exclude all trial-values greater than 145 and less than 55. See also Errors, below.

Data Displays:

  • Current Results page -- this is the formal analysis summary.
  • Eggsummary Data -- numeric tables, 15-minute blocks for each egg. Summary graphs.
  • Real-Time Java Display -- colors, sounds showing egg output per second
  • GCP Dot -- composite network variance, color coded levels; includes 24-hour graph
  • Flash-based Daily movies -- begin March 2009; links to original movies
  • GCP data at GCI -- moving average of network variance, selectable 1 to 28 days
  • Data Access:

  • Web-based data extract request form -- access raw data for download and analysis
  • Data format and tools -- information on data structure and utilities
  • Eggshell Analysis Package -- tools and programs for low-level data processing
  • EggAnalysis -- Windows application for downloading and analyzing egg data
  • Advanced Data Access -- multi-day data, requires arrangement with director
  • Pseudo-Random Clone Database -- control data description, requires arrangement
  • Errors -- list of known errors in the GCP database
