First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory,the processor and memory implementing a computer-user interface for a visual display of a perspective view of a data set, the computer-user interface including an interactive threshold editor,the interactive threshold editor including one or more interactive visual threshold markers overlaying the visual display of the perspective view of the data set, each of the one or more interactive visual threshold markers suggesting a threshold data value for the data set based on prior system-initiated statistical analysis and characterization of features of the data set, the suggested thresholds providing a selection of scale and units to visually distinguish features of the data set, each of the interactive visual threshold markers coupled to an interactive user interface element for graphical acceptance, rejection or adjustment, by a user, of a suggested threshold as a display threshold,the interactive threshold editor configured to;
in response to user selection of the display threshold, process the data set for display based on the display threshold;
display, on the computer-user interface, a perspective view representing the data set that has been processed based on the user selection of the display threshold; and
use the user selected display threshold to visually mark features of the data set in the perspective view displayed on the computer-user interface.

Abstract
A method for selecting thresholds for a data variable or key performance indicator (KPI) includes processing, by a computer, an actual data set for the data variable or KPI and displaying a perspective view representing the actual data for the data variable or KPI in an interactive threshold editor or selection dialog on a computer-user interface. Processing the actual data set for the data variable or KPI includes statistically curve fitting the actual data set to a probability distribution function and determining a set of pre-selected thresholds based on the parameters obtained by fitting the actual data set to the probability distribution function. The method further involves presenting one or more user-activable UI elements that are configured to receive user acceptance, rejection or adjustment of the pre-selected thresholds as thresholds for the data variable or KPI.
