What is shown on the distribution analytics page

The distribution analytics page displays statistics on how the values of the properties in your data are distributed over a certain time period and area. This is the same information as what is shown on the distribution panel on the visual analytics page.

Distribution analytics = segmentation analytics

Distribution analysis is also called segmentation or segment analytics.

However, compared to the visual analytics distribution panel, the distribution analytics page:

  • Makes it easy to compare the distribution of a property in different regions against each other

  • Makes it easy to compare two time periods against each other, and spotting the difference

Example use-cases for the distribution analytics page include

  • Looking at the speed profile on different sections of the highway.

  • Analyzing the different age groups that visit a store versus a store of the competition.

  • Analyzing the impact on maritime traffic in terminal A after closing terminal B.
