Statistical filtering of data using graphical user interfaces in information technology systems
First Claim
1. A method of data filtering in an information technology system, comprising:
- generating a graphical statistical representation of a data set in a first graphical user interface;
displaying the graphical statistical representation on an electronic display;
displaying multiple manipulable graphical elements in a second graphical user interface in conjunction with the graphical statistical representation, wherein a pair of particular manipulable graphical elements represents statistical ranges for the graphical statistical representation on either side of another particular manipulable graphical element;
receiving user input adjusting one or more of the manipulable graphical elements specifying one or more adjusted statistical ranges;
filtering the data set to correspond to the graphical statistical representation within the one or more adjusted statistical ranges;
wherein, the graphical statistical representation of the data set comprises a bell curve, each of the pair of particular manipulable graphical elements adjust a separate statistical range on different sides of the other particular manipulable graphical element, and the other particular manipulable graphical element adjusts a statistical percentile.

Abstract
Statistical filtering of data using graphical user interfaces in information technology systems. One embodiment comprises generating a graphical statistical representation of a data set and displaying the graphical statistical representation on an electronic display. One or more manipulable graphical elements are also displayed in conjunction with the graphical statistical representation, wherein the manipulable graphical elements represent one or more statistical ranges for the graphical statistical representation. Based on user adjusting one or more of the manipulable graphical elements specifying one or more adjusted statistical ranges, the data set is filtered to correspond to the graphical statistical representation within the one or more adjusted statistical ranges.

7. A system for filtering information, comprising:
-
a processor; a representation module that uses the processor to generate a graphical statistical representation of a data set; a user interface module that uses the processor to display the graphical statistical representation in a first graphical user interface on an electronic display, and displays multiple manipulable graphical elements in conjunction with the graphical statistical representation in a second graphical user interface, wherein a pair of particular manipulable graphical elements represents statistical ranges for the graphical statistical representation on either side of another particular manipulable graphical element, the user interface module receiving user input adjusting one or more of the manipulable graphical elements specifying one or more adjusted statistical ranges; a filtering module that uses the processor to filter the data set to correspond to the graphical statistical representation within the one or more adjusted statistical ranges, wherein, the user interface module uses the processor to display the filtered data set along with the graphical statistical representation and graphical elements, each of the pair of particular manipulable graphical elements adjust a separate statistical range on different sides of the other particular manipulable graphical element, and the other particular manipulable graphical element adjusts a statistical percentile. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer usable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith for execution on a computer, the computer readable program code configured to; generate a graphical statistical representation of a data set; display the graphical statistical representation in a first user interface on an electronic display, and display multiple manipulable graphical elements in conjunction with the graphical statistical representation in a second graphical user interface, wherein a particular pair of the manipulable graphical elements represents statistical ranges for the graphical statistical representation on either side of another particular manipulable graphical element, further receive user input adjusting one or more of the manipulable graphical elements specifying one or more adjusted statistical ranges; filters the data set to correspond to the graphical statistical representation within the one or more adjusted statistical ranges; wherein the graphical statistical representation of the data set comprises a bell curve each of the pair of particular manipulable graphical elements adjust a separate statistical range on different sides of the other particular manipulable graphical element, and the other particular manipulable graphical element adjusts a statistical percentile. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
