Interactive user interface for regression systems that process distorted or erroneous data obtained from an environment

An interactive user interface of a regression planning and evaluation system, wherein the regression planning and evaluation system is employed, when in operation, to obtain audit evidence, and wherein the audit evidence is obtained based upon input data pertaining to a given use case, characterized in that the interactive user interface comprises:

• (i) at least one input interface element that enables the user to input a plurality of audit parameters to be employed for the audit evidence;
• and
• (ii) at least one output interface element that enables the regression planning and evaluation system to present to the user:
• (a) a regression plot representing a variation of a target variable with respect to at least one explanatory variable, wherein the regression plot indicates an upper acceptance bound and a lower acceptance bound with respect to a regression line, and wherein the regression plot is generated for a plurality of samples associated with the given use case based upon the input data and the plurality of audit parameters;
• and
• (b) key items, wherein the key items are identified as samples that fall outside the upper acceptance bound and the lower acceptance bound in the regression plot.
