METHOD OF VISUALLY REPRESENTING REPEATING DATA SETS

摘要

A method of displaying repeating data with improved intelligibility includes identifying sequential and non-sequential data in a data collection. The method further includes assigning data categories from the sequential data. The method further includes determining frequency of non-sequential data elements via software executing on a computer. The method further includes identifying affiliations between the non-sequential data elements and the data categories via software executing on a computer. The method further includes displaying the data categories on a chart in positions based on their sequential order via software executing on a computer. The method further includes displaying the non-sequential data elements on the chart in positions based on their affiliation with the data categories via software executing on a computer. The method further includes displaying a visual indicium of the frequency of each of the data elements via software executing on a computer.

1. A method of displaying repeating data with improved intelligibility, comprising:
(a) identifying sequential and non-sequential data in a data collection; (b) assigning data categories from the sequential data; (c) determining frequency of non-sequential data elements via software executing on a computer; (d) identifying affiliations between the non-sequential data elements and the data categories via software executing on a computer; (e) displaying the data categories on a chart in positions based on their sequential order via software executing on a computer; (f) displaying the non-sequential data elements on the chart in positions based on their affiliation with the data categories via software executing on a computer; and (g) displaying a visual indicium of the frequency of each of the data elements via software executing on a computer.
