Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

I think part of the blueprint should be to extend the Web API to provide "All months this year", "All weeks this year", and "All days this year" in addition to the "Last 12 weeks" etc. On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 7:51 PM, Lars Helge Øverland wrote: > Isma: I think you should explore the surveillance

Isma: I think you should explore the surveillance validation feature, this is exactly what it is designed for! Documentation here, some slides here

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Hi, We have pretty much similar requirement with Malaria Surveillance (weekly reporting) here in Tanzania where by threshold calculation to detect malaria outbreak is based on current reported value against three previous weeks values similar case like what Jim mentioned. It will be best if we c

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Hi - I just want to echo the need of more complex logic for doing indicators. The way that we are addressing this at PSI is by creating 'Calculated Data Elements'. That's basically a Data Element that doesn't have data entry, and instead we populate it via a SQL procedure that we run every night.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Would be great if we could somehow combine the logic and calculations of the surveillance rules with the analytics tables and make this data available in the analysis tools. Sounds like a good approach to try that in an app first. Ola -- -- Ola Hodne Titlestad

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Thanks a lot, Jim. We are in fact already developing a powerful time series app for which this is the main missing thing, however we may have to change to a different javascript graphing library (because of the license). Knut On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 12:59 PM, Jim Grace wrote: > Hi all, > > By

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Hi all, By all means tell anyone requesting this type of analysis about the new surveillance-type validation rules. They do exactly this type of analysis, for example the calculation Knut mentioned, comparing this year's weekly data with the average of the three previous years (e.g. week 48), mult

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Hi all, Surprisingly, yesterday I had exactly the same request from one of our users in Uganda: they'd like to see monthly data for current and past year as separate lines on the same chart, very similar to Knut's example. I can imagine that this would be rather complex to handle in the visualiser

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Thanks Ola, it's a good idea to have this also available as part of validation rules. However, my immediate need and what organizations dealing with seasonal epidemics such as WHO and CDC would like to see are charts with two lines: The trend of cases and deaths for the current year as compared to

Knut, Your example looks more like the kind of functionality we have/could build into in surveillance type validation rules. Ola -- On 4 Dec 2013 22:07, "Knut Staring" wrote: > We have the same requirement, in our case to compare this year's weekly > data with the average of the three previ

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

We have the same requirement, in our case to compare this year's weekly data with the average of the three previous years foe the corresponding periods (e.g. week 48), multiplied by 1.5. Perhaps this should be available in the indicator calculation? And/or an easy way to get it through the api. Cou

Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Dhis2-users] Homologous periods for indicators

Hi Paulo, this is not directly supported. One suggestion is to create a standard report with relative periodd last year and this year, and then let iReport do the calculation using a variable. Lars On Dec 4, 2013 8:46 PM, "Paulo Grácio" wrote: > Hi, > > > > One of the challenges that I have at t
