| Scenario |
A Franklin County, Ohio Sheriffs Department crime analyst
issues a report, showing a 66 percent spike in automobile thefts, resulting
in a request for further analysis.
One key question is whether the increase
is isolated to Franklin County, or extends to surrounding counties.
The analyst uses N DEx to create
a report of auto thefts from his county and the six surrounding counties
of Pickaway, Fairfield, Union, Licking, Madison, and Delaware over
the last 12 months. N DEx produces a report that identifies the auto
thefts
in the area by number, day of the week, time of day and month, and
visually displays the output graphically. The report indicates that
Union and
Fairfield counties have suffered a similar trending spike in auto thefts,
but the other three counties have actually seen a decrease.
