Apparatus and method for assessing relevant categories and measures for use in data analyses
First Claim
1. A computer readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions to:
- receive a selection of a category ensemble overlying a dataset;
define an analysis view of the category ensemble, wherein the analysis view comprises;
a set of categories divided into;
a first subset of unselected categories, anda second subset of selected categories,a set of measures, anda visualization for a subset of the dataset, including a preselected measure that is a highly relevant measure in the category ensemble, wherein the preselected measure is a codomain of the visualization;
receive a relevancy parameter;
conduct a search based on the relevancy parameter in the category ensemble;
create a first order of the first subset of unselected categories based on relevancy, wherein the first order based on the relevancy is based on relevancy of the relevancy parameter to each category in the set of categories;
create a second order of the first subset of unselected categories based on merit, wherein merit is a value which indicates efficiency for partitioning the dataset;
combine the first order and the second order into a final order for the first subset of unselected categories of the set of categories; and
update the analysis view by displaying the first subset of unselected categories in the final order.

Abstract
A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to receive a relevancy parameter. The relevancy parameter is searched in a category ensemble including a set of categories, where the category ensemble overlies a dataset. A first order of the set of categories is created based on the relevancy of the relevancy parameter to each category in the set of categories, where the relevancy is a degree of match to the relevancy parameter. A second order of the set of categories is created based on the merit of each category to partition the dataset. The first order and the second order are combined into a final order, which is returned. A measure in the category ensemble is searched based on the relevancy parameter. The measure is returned as a selected measure, where the selected measure is a codomain of a visualization depicting a portion of the dataset.
