Predictive model search by communicating comparative strength

A method for comparing a plurality of predictive data models based on a predictive model search, the method comprising:

• receiving a first portion and a second portion of a set of data;
• identifying a first variation of the second portion and a second variation of the second portion, wherein the first variation is different from the second variation;
• generating a plurality of first predictive data models based on the first variation;
• generating a plurality of second predictive data models based on the second variation;
• applying a criteria to rank the plurality of first predictive data models and the plurality of second predictive data models based on a predictive strength;
• and
• presenting a display of the ranked criteria, comprising the first portion, and a portion of the plurality of first predictive data models and the plurality of second predictive data models, wherein the portion of the plurality of first predictive data models and the plurality of second predictive data models are collectively ranked and presented on the display according to the predictive strength.
