Fractal Analysis for Public Safety
We recently packaged OAC with our Public Safety SaaS in the LGGIU. Deploying first responders generates large amounts of transactional and geospatial data. We've been receiving requirements in RFPs for Fractal Analysis capabilities. I'm familiar with fractals, but not through practical analytics. Most research I've found is academic and relates to micro/macro trends in economics, weather, motivation, and location. I've started looking at bringing in data from NOAA, USGS, and BLS assuming we have the micro crime data and need more visibility of macro factors. Does anyone have any experience in this form of analytics?

OAC has a REST API as a data source connector
https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/analytics-cloud/acsds/rest-api.html#GUID-62FD9E15-7FF5-4E3F-80C6-5C5B090BC2DAIt will link you to some examples in the OA Public library.

One such example is US Geological Survey, so if those public data sources have a REST API, then you could bring in data.0

Hi Matthew,
OAC includes some feature that may be helpful to you for pattern identification, anomaly detection, correlations, etc.
I will list them here, and let you dive into the documenation and tutorials to explore the features further. Just type them in the documentation search field, or use your favorite internet search with the keywords: Oracle Analytics Cloud plus the feature.- Auto Insights
- Explain
- AI Assistant
- Spatial or Graph Analytics
- Deeper Analytics with autoML or OCI Services : What Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Services Does Oracle Analytics Support?
I don't mean for this to sound like some sor of "marketing response", but just a conversation starter and provide features for you to explore. It may depend on upon the specifics / examples of the RFP request vs. generalization.
@Philippe Lions-Oracle - May have some additional ideas and insights.

Thanks Steve, we'll definitely evaluate these. I think an additional challenge will be to bring in macro data which would likely include economic and other environmental factors that influences social behavior in communities.

In the Galleries link in the top ribbon, there are a lot of cool examples that may inspire you.

Additionally, you can reference layers to map visualizations to overlay macro data.
Hopefully many in the community will comment.2 -
@Public Safety Matthew-Oracle
hi Matthew, most likely this type of analytics will require some DB algorithms in the background, my guess may be graph engine, but may be ML as well. We should have the ability to answer this as our integration between DB and OAC is strong, but we need you to precise a bit further what you are trying to achieve functionally under 'Fractal Analysis'. Let us know. Thanks2 -
As others have indicated, you'll probably need to use other tools first before bringing in the results for presentation in OAC. Depending on the complexity of analytics you want to do, some of those might be available in the Database (stats, ML, graph, spatial, etc). If you need to do more, you could use OCI Data Science. Then gather the data and results, store them in a DB and present using OAC

Are there any connections established with the Dept of Labor and statistic, National Weather, US Geological Society public data?
