Method and apparatus for selecting and/or optimizing models for data sets

A computer-implemented method for statistical modelling optimization, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the processing unit, a plurality of inputs, each of the plurality of inputs corresponding to a continuous value or a categorical value, wherein the categorical value corresponds to a finite set of categories;
• receiving, by a processing unit, a set of conditions for a plurality of outputs;
• for each of the plurality of inputs corresponding to a continuous value, receiving a discretization number;
• and displaying, by the processing unit in a display screen, a parallel coordinate plot comprising a vertical axis for each of the plurality of inputs, each of the plurality of outputs, and for at least one measure of compliance, each vertical axis comprising a number of points, and wherein the parallel coordinate plot further comprises lines connecting at least one point of each vertical axis with at least one point of the neighbouring vertical axis;
• wherein the number of points of a vertical axis corresponding to an input among the plurality of inputs corresponding to a continuous value is calculated on the discretization value received for said input, the number of points of an input comprising a categorical value is based on the corresponding finite set of categories of said input, each of the points of a vertical axis of an output corresponds to a selection of a specific point in each vertical axis corresponding to an input and is calculated using a mathematical model corresponding to said input, and the at least one measure of compliance indicates a compliance of the calculated outputs with the set of conditions.
