VISUALIZING A RELATIONSHIP OF ATTRIBUTES USING A RELEVANCE DETERMINATION PROCESS TO SELECT FROM CANDIDATE ATTRIBUTE VALUES

摘要

For plural categorical values of a first attribute, more relevant categorical values of a second attribute are selected from among candidate categorical values of the second attribute, where the selecting uses a relevance determination process that considers frequencies of occurrence of respective pairs of the categorical values of the first and second attributes. A visualization that includes groups of cells corresponding to the respective pairs of categorical values of the first and second attributes is generated. At least one of the groups includes cells assigned visual indicators based on values of a third attribute.

1. A method of visualizing a relationship of attributes in data records, comprising:
for plural categorical values of a first attribute, selecting, by a system having a processor, more relevant categorical values of a second attribute from among candidate categorical values of the second attribute, wherein the selecting uses a relevance determination process that considers frequencies of occurrence of respective pairs of the categorical values of the first and second attributes; and generating, by the system, a visualization that includes groups of cells corresponding to the respective pairs of categorical values of the first and second attributes, each of the cells corresponding to a pair of categorical values of the first and second attributes in a respective data record, wherein at least one of the groups includes cells assigned visual indicators based on values of a third attribute.
