wherein the first display characteristic comprises at least one of a shading and a color of the given display element;
wherein the second display characteristic comprises a size of the given display element relative to one or more other display elements;
wherein the processing platform is further configured to adjust the generated visualization such that the first display characteristic of the given display element represents one of the at least one retrospective reliability measure and the at least one trend reliability measure for its associated set of one or more product and part combinations; and
wherein adjusting the generated visualization comprises dynamically adjusting the generated visualization in response to user input to change the first display characteristic from (i) representing the one or more scores computed as a combination of the at least one retrospective reliability measure and the at least one trend measure to (ii) representing scores computed using one of the at least one retrospective reliability measure and the at least one trend measure.

Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing platform configured to implement an analysis and visualization tool utilizing a mixture of multiple reliability measures to characterize each of a plurality of product and part combinations. The analysis and visualization tool comprises a data aggregation module configured to extract product and part data from a big data repository, a reliability measure generator configured to process the extracted product and part data to generate a plurality of reliability measures for each of a plurality of different product and part combinations, a mixture model module configured to compute a score from the plurality of reliability measures for each of the different product and part combinations, and a visualization module configured to generate at least one visualization as a function of the scores computed for the respective different product and part combinations. The generated visualization may comprise a quadrant plot view visualization displaying the computed scores.
