Rule correlation to rules input attributes according to disparate distribution analysis

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for visualizing rule input attributes with a rule according to disparate rule attribute distributions. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for visualizing rule input attributes with a rule according to disparate rule attribute distributions has been provided. The method includes identifying in response to a selection of a rule for viewing in a rule viewer an input for the selected rule and determining an attribute for the input. However, attributes present in a guard for the selected rule can be excluded. The method also can include computing a global distribution of the attribute irrespective of the identified input and a specific distribution for the identified input. Thereafter, the attribute can be flagged as being correlated with the selected rule when it is determined that a sufficient disparity exists between the global distribution and the specific distribution.

主权项

1. A rules editing system comprising:
a computer with memory and at least one processor; a datastore of rules previously applied utilizing different inputs; a rules viewer configured to display a selected one of the rules in the datastore; and, attribute logic executing in the memory of the computer and enabled to identify an input for a rule selected in the rules editor, to determine an attribute for the input, to compute a global distribution of the attribute irrespective of the identified input and a specific distribution for the identified input and to flag the attribute in the rules editor as being correlated with the selected rule responsive to determining a sufficient disparity between the global distribution and the specific distribution.
