Iterative Refinement of Cohorts Using Visual Exploration and Data Analytics
First Claim
1. An apparatus defining a cohort comprised of multiple data objects, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory; and
at least one hardware device, coupled to the memory, operative to;
obtain an initial cohort seeding;
visualize said initial cohort using a selected view to present a current cohort;
reduce said current cohort using one or more visual filters;
visualize said current cohort using a selected view;
expand said current cohort using one or more selected analytics; and
determine whether said current cohort should be further modified using one or more of additional reductions and additional expansions.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for iterative refinement of cohorts using visual exploration and data analytics. A cohort comprised of multiple data objects is defined by obtaining an initial cohort seeding; visualizing the initial cohort using a selected view to present a current cohort; reducing the current cohort using one or more visual filters; visualizing the current cohort using a selected view; expanding the current cohort using one or more selected analytics; and determining whether the current cohort should be further modified using one or more of additional reductions and additional expansions. Cohorts can be passed between views and analytics via drag-and-drop interactions as an analysis unfolds.
