1. A method of analyzing first data elements representative of usage of a data processing system by users, the method comprising:
- inputting the first data element into a first data classifier;
operating the first data classifier to generate classification outputs from the first data elements, wherein the classification outputs are indicative of classes of the first data elements;
inputting the first data elements and the classification outputs into a rule inducer;
operating the rule inducer to generate rules explaining relationships between the first data elements and the classification outputs; and
outputting the rules explaining the relationships to a user.

Abstract
A method of processing data relating to a plurality of examples using a data classifier arranged to classify input data into one of a number of classes, and a rule inducer, comprising the steps of:
- (i) inputting a series of inputs to the data classifier so as to obtain a series of corresponding outputs;
- (ii) inputting said series of outputs and at least some of said series of inputs to the rule inducer so as to obtain a series of rules which describe relationships between the series of inputs to the data classifier and the series of corresponding outputs from the data classifier.
