Abstract
A computer implemented system for segmenting data collected from a document production environment is provided. The system includes determining, with a computer implemented data processing platform, that a set of document production related data should be represented as a non-normal distribution. A first test is performed and it is determined that the non-normal distribution should not be analyzed pursuant to a first analytic category. A second test is performed and when it is determined that the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to a second analytic category, an output, indicating that the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to the second analytic category is provided.
Claims25
A system for processing data collected from a document production environment, comprising
- (A) a computer implemented data processing platform;
- and
- (B) a computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, instruct the computer implemented data processing platform to:
- (1) read a set of document production related data, the document production related data being represented as a normal distribution or a non-normal distribution,
- (2) determine that the set of document production related data should be represented as a non-normal distribution,
- (3) perform a first test to determine whether the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to a first analytic category,
- (4) determine, with the first test of said (B)(3), that the non-normal distribution should not be analyzed pursuant to the first analytic category,
- (5) perform a second test to determine whether the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to a second analytic category,
- (6) when it is determined, with the second test of (B)(5), that the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to the second analytic category, provide an output indicating that the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to the second analytic category.
A computer implemented method for segmenting data collected from a document production environment, comprising:
- (A) providing a set of document production related data, the document production related data being represented as a normal distribution or a non-normal distribution;
- (B) determining, with a computer implemented data processing platform, that the set of document production related data should be represented as a non-normal distribution;
- (C) performing, with the computer implemented data processing platform, a first test to determine whether the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to a first analytic category;
- (D) determining, with said (C), that the non-normal distribution should not be analyzed pursuant to the first analytic category;
- (E) performing, with the computer implemented data processing platform, a second test to determine whether the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to a second analytic category;
- and
- (F) when it is determined, with said (E), that the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to the second analytic category, providing an output indicating that the non-normal distribution should be analyzed pursuant to the second analytic category.
A computer implemented method for processing a segmented set of document production related data, the set of document production related data including a first distribution, comprising:
- (A) partitioning the first distribution into a second distribution and a third distribution;
- (B) determining, with a computer implemented data processing platform, whether (1) the second distribution is normal or non-normal, and (2) the third distribution is normal or non-normal;
- (C) when it is determined with said (B) that the second distribution is non-normal, categorizing the second distribution into one of a plurality of analytic categories;
- (D) when it is determined with said (B) that the third distribution is non-normal, categorizing the third distribution into one of the plurality of analytic categories;
- and
- (E) providing an output indicating whether (1) the second distribution belongs to a normal distribution or one of the plurality of analytic categories, and (2) the third distribution belongs to a normal distribution or one of the plurality of analytic categories.
The method of clam 24, wherein said (F) includes fitting mixtures of Gaussians to the first distribution and assessing the fit.
