Data processing, analysis, and visualization system for use with disparate data types
First Claim
1. A method of interactively displaying records and their corresponding attributes, comprising:
- generating a first 2-D chart for a first record, wherein at least two attributes associated with the first record are shown along one axis, and wherein the values of the attributes are shown along the other axis;
receiving input from a user selecting the first record on the first 2-D chart;
analyzing an index to determine if the first record is shown in another view; and
if the first record is shown in another view, altering the visual representation of the first record in the another view based on the user input.

Abstract
A system or method consistent with an embodiment of the present invention is useful in analyzing large volumes of different types of data, such as textual data, numeric data, categorical data, or sequential string data, for use in identifying relationships among the data types or different operations that have been performed on the data. A system or method consistent with the present invention determines and displays the relative content and context of related information and is operative to aid in identifying relationships among disparate data types. Various data types, such as numerical data, protein and DNA sequence data, categorical information, and textual information, such as annotations associated with the numerical data or research papers may be correlated for visual analysis. A variety of user-selectable views may be correlated for user interaction to identify relationships that exist among the different types of data or various operations performed on the data. Furthermore, the user may explore the information contained in sets of records and their associated attributes through the use of interactive 2-D line charts and interactive summary miniplots.

17. A method of interactively displaying records and their corresponding attributes, comprising:
-
selecting a record and its associated attributes, wherein the associated attributes are any combination of numeric, categoric, sequence, and text information;
converting the associated attributes into numeric values; and
generating a 2-D chart for the record, wherein at least two attributes associated with the record are shown along one axis, and wherein the values of the attributes are shown along the other axis.

18. A method of interactively displaying records and their corresponding attributes, comprising:
-
generating a 2-D scatter chart that depicts a plurality of records;
generating a 2-D line chart for a group of records contained in a portion of the 2-D scatter chart, wherein at least two attributes associated with the group of records are shown along one axis, and wherein a statistical value for each of the at least two attributes is shown along the other axis; and
superimposing the 2-D line chart at a location on the 2-D scatter chart that is based on the location of the group of records on the 2-D scatter chart. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method of interactively displaying records and their corresponding attributes, comprising:
-
selecting a set of records and their associated attributes, wherein the associated attributes are any combination of numeric, categoric, sequence, and text information;
converting the associated attributes into numeric values;
generating a first chart that depicts the set of records;
generating a second chart for a subset of records depicted in the first chart, wherein at least two attributes associated with the subset of records are shown along one axis, and wherein a statistical value for each of the at least two attributes is shown along the other axis; and
superimposing the second chart at a location on the first chart that is based on the location of the subset of records on the first chart.
