Alert type
The Alert type is used to set the thresholds for
creating an alert.
The Sensitivity of the report depends on the sessions
times (minutes) of the group's rumination/eating:
• Increase the threshold for the alert level if the
report is too sensitive – (it includes too many
alerts [false positives]),
• Decrease the threshold for the alert level if the
report fails to indicate a problem.
Note: When the group's average rumination/eating time is shorter, a greater deviation threshold should be applied to accurately flag
problems.
Note: When a group's average rumination/eating time is longer, smaller deviations are required to indicate that a problem exists.
