Abstract
A density gradient analysis tool can be employed in conjunction with heat mapping systems. A data distribution of data points can be generated. The data distribution can include bins that represent an interval of time and density corresponding to a number of data points in each bin. Further, the data distribution can aggregate data points in each bin. A heat map can be generated based on the data distribution that includes regions corresponding to bins and coloration associated with aggregate values. Further, the heat maps can be interactive including an ability to transition between time periods, expand an interval of time, and select a subset of data for further inspection.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- executing on a processor instructions stored in a memory that cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a set of data comprising data points from a predetermined period of time;
- determining an interval of time of the predetermined period of time so as to efficiently display the data points, wherein the interval of time defines a bin size for each bin of a set of bins based on a distribution of the data points in the received set of data, wherein the bin size determines a total number of bins in the set of bins;
- grouping the data points into the set of bins based on the interval of time, wherein each bin represents the interval of time and has a density corresponding to a number of data points in the bin;
- aggregating a plurality of characteristics associated with the data points to generate a single quantitative value for each data point;
- computing an aggregate value from the density of each bin;
- generating a heat map for the data points based on the bins and corresponding aggregate values, wherein regions of the heat map correspond to the bins and coloration is based on the aggregate values;
- and
- conveying, for display on a display device, the heat map.
A system, comprising:
- a processor coupled to a memory that stores instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to:
- determine an interval of time that defines a bin size for each bin of a set of bins based on a distribution of data points in a data set from a predetermined period of time so as to efficiently display the data points, wherein the bin size determines a total number of bins in the set of bins;
- group the data points into the set of bins based on the determined interval of time, wherein each bin represents the interval of time and has a density corresponding to a number of data points in the bin;
- compute an aggregate value from the density of each bin;
- generate a heat map for the data points based on the bins and corresponding aggregate values, wherein regions of the heat map correspond to the bins and coloration is based on the aggregate values;
- and
- convey, for display on a display device, the heat map.
A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed cause a computer to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving a set of data comprising data points from a predetermined period of time;
- determining an interval of time of the predetermined period of time that defines a bin size for each bin of a set of bins based on a distribution of data points from the predetermined period of time so as to efficiently display the data points, wherein the bin size determines a total number of bins in the set of bins;
- grouping the data points into the set of bins, wherein each bin has a data point density corresponding to a number of the data points;
- computing an aggregate value from the number of data points in each bin;
- generating a heat map of data points based on the bins and corresponding aggregate values;
- and
- conveying, for display on a display device, the heat map.
