DIAGNOSTIC VISUAL TOOLS AND METHODS FOR GRAPHICAL COMPARISON OF DATA POINT AND HISTORICAL DATA DENSITY
First Claim
1. A method of data analysis to determine how a data point compares with historical data comprising:
- graphically displaying a data density graph using a contour plot, the contour plot related to a relationship between first and second variables and a historical frequency with which a given pair of values for the first and second variables has occurred; and
superimposing an indicator on the data density graph indicative of values for the first and second variables relative to the data point.

Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems adapted to aid in data analysis by graphically displaying current situation on the background of historical data density, Historical data density is represented by one or more contour plots. An indicator of how a current data point compares to the historical data may be placed on one or more of the data density graphs. In some examples, data falling outside a threshold contour of historical data density may represent a new or an abnormal situation, and such data and/or a contour plot having such data may be highlighted in a graphical display.
