Method and system of database analysis and compression

Abstract

In an embodiment, a system includes at least one computing device and program instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium. The program instructions, when executed by the at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to receive input data in the form of at least one search criterion indicative of a data landscape, query an electronic database based at least in part on the input data, retrieve a data list from the electronic database based at least in part on the query, count data with common player names from the data list, sort by count to generate a discrete distribution, apply power law analysis to the discrete distribution to determine the value of an exponent S of the discrete distribution and use the exponent S as a metric of consolidation of the data list. Said exponent may then be stored in a lossy compressed database.
