Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure provides examples of computerized methods and software for performing analytical procedures by interacting with visual representations of datasets. In one aspect, a visualization of a first dataset is displayed in a first portion of a GUI, where that visualization is associated with a set of criteria applied to the first dataset. A visualization of a second dataset is displayed in a second portion of the GUI. A selection of at least a portion of the data from the visualization of the first dataset is received, the selection associated with at least one set of set of criteria from the first dataset. A request to apply the selection to the second dataset is received, and, based thereon, the set of criteria from the first dataset is applied to the second dataset to generate a third dataset. A visual representation of the third dataset is then displayed in the GUI.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for performing analytical procedures by interactions with visual representations of datasets, comprising: displaying a visualization of a first filtered dataset in a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), the visualization of the first filtered dataset associated with at least a first set of filters applied to an underlying dataset; displaying a visualization of a second filtered dataset in a second portion of the GUI, the second filte…
