Abstract
A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to associate two or more data sets with two or more vertices in a Venn graph. An intersection of the two or more data sets is associated with a vertex in the Venn graph. A plurality of outliers is associated between the two or more data sets and the intersection of the two or more data sets with a plurality of vertices disposed between the two or more vertices and the vertex in the Venn graph.
Claims13
A computer readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions to:
- convert a Venn diagram into a temporary graph;
- create a dual graph from the temporary graph;
- remove a first vertex and a set of edges incident upon the first vertex from the dual graph, wherein the first vertex corresponds to the highest order intersection of the Venn diagram;
- and
- replace a second vertex with the first vertex to create a new graph, wherein the second vertex represents a universe of the Venn diagram, wherein the universe represents an outer infinitely large region associated with the Venn diagram.
