Analytics @ JCU
Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful
patterns in data. JCU examples:
• Cohort Analyses
• Subject Enrol to Census
• Subject Success
Cohort Analyses
• Our retention fact provides the source data
• SQL extracts the target data, includes sort keys and then creates an
input file for GraphWiz (open source)
• A batch script then calls GraphViz with the parameters and
associated formatting information so that GraphViz can generate the
visual output
