Graph Weather Data

Plot up to 3 data fields per graph.   Use left and right Y-axis for mixed units.   Plot cumulative data or individual values.
Select a custom date range to plot.   Summarize plot data within chosen date range (Min, Max, Avg)

 

Apply spatial models to assessment data columns

New ARM Action Codes apply a spatial model to an individual data column.     Determine which model to use with new descriptive statistics and recommendations on the Column Diagnostics panel. (at right)     Spatial analysis adjusts mean estimates to attempt to recover unexplained error in a field. Use when the blocking design fails.
