Export Results Dialog

The export results dialog allows the user to export a variety of data (group data, summary statistics, registered curves, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) results, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) results and Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) results) to text files in Standard ASCII, Transposed ASCII, SPSS ASCII and P2D format. The export results dialog can be found on the toolbar and under the Export menu.

Dialog Overview

The export results dialog is split up into three sections.

  1. Export Settings
  2. Definition
  3. Export Results Options

Export Settings Section

Selecting export settings allows you to save premade selections for exporting, saving time customizing your exports. Export setting files are saved as standard text file.

Field Description
Export Settings File Here you can browse your library to load in an Export Settings File.
Export text files to folder and filenames Here you can customize where you want your exports to be saved and specify the folder and the filenames.

Definition Section

This section defines what data (signals, metrics, calculated values, and summary statistics) you want to be exported in the text file. Changing the export type, changes the different options to be exported.

Export Type: Data

The export type data allows you to export all information related to queries. The key here is your Input Data, which allows you to choose what data you want to be exported. There are four different options to choose from:

  1. All Queried Data - this will export all data that has been queried from the library
  2. All Plotted Data - this will export all data that has been visualized on one of the Explore Page's plots
  3. Active Plot Data - this will only export data that is on the Explore Page's active plot
  4. Highlighted Data - this will only export data that is highlighted
Field Description
All Workspaces in Group or Selected Workspaces Choosing Selected Workspaces will only export workspaces that are selected in the groups and workspaces widget.
Number Points Normalized to This will normalize the data to the number selected. The standard it to keep is at 101, which queries are typically normalized to.
Group Mean Checking this box will export the groups mean.
Group Std. Dev. Checking this box will export the groups standard deviation.
Workspace Mean Checking this box will export the workspaces mean.
Workspace Std. Dev. Checking this box will export the workspace standard deviation.
All Sequences (Normalized) Checking this box will export each normalized trace within the selected groups. This option also allows you to export the Events (Normalized), which exports the occurrence of each event within the signal.
All Sequences (Time Based) Checking this box will export each raw trace within the selected groups. This option also allows you to export the Events (Time Based), which exports the occurrence of each event within the signal.

Export Type: Summary Statistics

The export type data allows you to export all information related to queries. Again the Input Data field allows you to choose what data you want to be exported:

  1. All Queried Data - this will export all data that has been queried from the library
  2. All Plotted Data - this will export all data that has been visualized on one of the Explore Page's plots
  3. Active Plot Data - this will only export data that is on the Explore Page's active plot
  4. Highlighted Data - this will only export data that is highlighted
Field Description
All Workspaces in Group or Selected Workspaces Choosing Selected Workspaces will only export workspaces that are selected in the groups and workspaces widget.
Calculate results for This allows you to choose what you want the summary statistics to be calculated for. There are three options: Groups, Workspaces, and Instances.
Mean This calculates the means of the data you chose. Checking this box also allows you to calculate the Std. Dev. of the means.
Minimum This calculates the minimums of the data you chose. Checking this box also allows you to calculate the Std. Dev. of the minimums, and to export the Event Point of the minimums.
Maximum This calculates the maximums of the data you chose. Checking this box also allows you to calculate the Std. Dev. of the maximums, and to export the Event Point of the maximums.
Extra Options Checking extra option will only give results if previous options are checked, however this allows you the option to Add metric columns, and to Use normalized data to calculate metrics.

Export Type: PCA Results

This option allows you to export PCA results.

Field Description
Workspaces Scores This will export the workspace score for each groups workspace run in the PCA.
Group Scores This will export the group score for each group run in the PCA.
Group Scores Std. Dev. This will export the standard deviation of the group score for each group run in the PCA.
Variance Explained This will export the variance explained for each PC run in the PCA.
Eigenvectors This will export the data points of the eigenvectors for each PC.
Mean +/- 1 SD This will export the mean and +/- 1 standard deviation of the reconstructed PCs.
Mean +/- 5 and 95% This will export the mean, the 5th and the 95th reconstruction of the PC.

Export Type: Registered Curves

This option will allow you to export all the information related to curve registration. Again the Input Data field allows you to choose what data you want to be exported:

  1. All Queried Data - this will export all data that has been queried from the library
  2. All Plotted Data - this will export all data that has been visualized on one of the Explore Page's plots
  3. Active Plot Data - this will only export data that is on the Explore Page's active plot
  4. Highlighted Data - this will only export data that is highlighted
Field Description
Registered Curves Checking this box will export all the traces of the registered groups.
Warping Functions Checking this box will export the warping function for each trace in the registered groups.
Landmark Means Checking this box will export the mean locations of the landmarks the groups were registered to.
Landmarks for all Traces Checking this box will export the original location of each landmark for each trace.

Export Type: Dynamic Time Warping

This option will export the results from DTW.

Field Description
Found Anomalies/Traces Checking this box will export the traces that were found in DTW.
Cost Functions Checking this box will export the cost functions of the traces that were found in DTW.

Export Type: Statistical Parametric Mapping / SPM

This option allows you to export results from the SPM analysis module.

Field Description
SPM B Matrix This will export the traces in the B plot.
SPM Residual Matrix This will export the traces in the Residuals plot.
SPMs This will export the SPM curve.

Export Type: Normal Database

This option allows you to export queried ND signals

Export Type: Statistical Test Results

This option will export the results from the summary statistics dialog

Field Description
Test Information Displays the test name along with the type of statistical test and the significance level
Group Results For each group and overall the following results will be shown: Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error, N
Test Results Will display: Degrees of Freedom, Pooled Standard Deviation, T Stat, Null Hypothesis

Export Result Options Section

This section allows you to customize how you want the data to look in the exports and to show a preview.

Field
Export Format This allows you to pick the format of the text file you want. There are four types of formats: Standard ASCII, Transposed ASCII, SPSS ASCII, P2D, CSV, JSON, and XML.
Precision This is the number of digits after the decimal point.
Generate Preview Pressing this button will generate a preview of the export data. This is a good way to check everything is to your liking.
Browse This allows you to browse your computer's hard drive to select where you want to export your data to.

When the Generate Preview button is clicked, a pop-up window will appear displaying a preview of what is to be exported:
