FAQ

1. What constitutes Full Rejection?

Full Rejections refer to instances where the entire carcass of a pig is deemed unsuitable for consumption.

2. What defines Partial Rejections?

Partial Rejections occur when specific parts of a pig's carcass are deemed unfit for consumption. Multiple Rejections per pig are possible, such as rejection of the Hock (Hind) and tail.

3. How are the percentages in the bar plot depicting the number of rejections per year on the basic tab calculated?

The percentage is calculated as follows: (Number of rejections per year / total rejections per year within the selected range) * 100.

4. How do the key statistics on the Advanced Tab differ from those on the Basic Tab?

The statistics on the Advanced Tab are computed based on the filters applied within the Advanced Tab, such as Date Range, Quarter, and Farm. In contrast, the basic tab statistics are filtered based on the selected year range and month range.

5. Are the Top 5 Farms with the highest rejection and Top 10 Producers calculated based on applied filters?

Yes, these rankings are determined based on the selected date range and quarter(s).

6. What distinguishes the bar plots for Full and Partial Rejections on the Basic and Advanced Tabs?

The bar plots on the basic tab encompass data from all farms, whereas those on the advanced tab are specific to the selected farms.

7. What is the purpose of the Benchmark plot?

The Benchmark plot displays the top 5 conditions and evaluates how the selected farms compare in terms of performance

8. Why is 3 years of data required for time series analysis?

Three years of data are utilized: two years for training the selected algorithms and one year for evaluation purposes.

9.Is it possible to extend the duration of data used for training and evaluation??

Yes, Select Expert in plot type and you would be able to set the number of years to use for training and evaluation respectively

10. Does Top 5 farms calculations include both Partial and Full rejections ?

Yes

11. What is Holtwinters?

Holtwinters algorithm also known as Exponential Smoothing, is primarily used for time series forecasting. The algorithm has three main components: level (a baseline estimate), trend, and seasonality. These components are updated using weighted averages to account for changes in the data over time

12. What is CUSUM?

CUSUM is a control chart technique used for change detection or anomaly detection. It identifies shifts in the mean or variance of a process over time.CUSUM works by calculating a cumulative sum of deviations from a target value. When the cumulative sum exceeds a certain threshold, it signals a potential shift or change.

13. What is EWMA?

An EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) chart is a statistical process control tool used to monitor small shifts in a process mean over time. It assigns exponentially decreasing weights to past data points, giving more importance to recent observations while still considering historical data
