Geometrization for pattern recognition, data analysis, data merging, and multiple criteria decision making
First Claim
1. A data merging method comprising the steps of:
- (a) using a computer processor, receiving data;
(b) using the computer processor, creating two or more rearrangements of the received data;
(c) using the computer processor, applying admissible geometrization to each of the two or more rearrangements of the received data to produce two or more spaces of dilation vectors;
(d) merging the two or more spaces of dilation vectors to form a single space of merged dilation vectors;
(e) merging components of the merged dilation vectors; and
(f) interpreting the merged components of the merged dilation vectors as merged data.

Abstract
An analyzer/classifier/synthesizer/prioritizing tool for data comprises use of an admissible geometrization process with data transformed and partitioned by an input process into one or more input matrices and one or more partition classes and one or more scale groups. The data to be analyzed/classified/synthesized/prioritized is processed by an admissible geometrization technique such as 2-partition modified individual differences multidimensional scaling (2p-IDMDS) to produce at least a measure of geometric fit. Using the measure of geometric fit and possibly other 2p-IDMDS output, a back end process analyzes, synthesizes, classifies, and prioritizes data through patterns, structure, and relations within the data.

5. A method for converting a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data into quantitative data comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data; (b) using a computer processor, applying admissible geometrization to the received mixture of qualitative and quantitative data to produce admissibly transformed data, comprising applying 2-partition individual differences multidimensional scaling to the received mixture of qualitative and quantitative data; and (c) interpreting the admissibly transformed data as quantitative data. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. Computer executable software program code stored on a computer usable medium, the code for merging data, the code, which when executed by a computer processor, comprising:
-
first code, when executed by a computer processor, that receives data and forms two or more rearrangements of the received data; and second code, when executed by a computer processor, that applies 2-partition individual differences multidimensional scaling to the two or more rearrangements of the received data to produce two or more spaces of dilation vectors. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

12. A computer system for merging data comprising:
-
(a) a memory which is able to store data, (b) a processor which is operatively connected to the memory which will; (1) compute two or more rearrangements of the stored data, and (2) compute admissible geometrization of the two or more rearrangements of the stored data, and (3) compute two or more spaces of dilation vectors, and (4) compute a merged space of the two or more spaces of dilation vectors, and (5) compute a merged value of the components of the merged dilation vectors, so that said memory will store the merged values and a display to display the merged values to a user to interpret the stored merged values as merged data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
