1. In an electronic device, a data visualization method comprising the steps of:
- providing a data structure holding a representation of a Markov model for a system being modeled;
populating said Markov model data structure with at least one of transition probability data and emission probability data for the system being modeled; and
displaying more than one dimension of said probability data from said Markov model in a heat map.

Abstract
A method of displaying the probabilities associated with a Markov model as a series of interactive plots is disclosed. Three dimensions of probability data associated with a Markov model are presented to a user in a concise manner. Heat maps are used to display probability data from a Markov model so that the user can identify and understand hidden patterns and information in the data such as state and emission transitions which are not possible to see with conventional state diagram plots.
