Method and system for visualizing multivariate statistics

An automated system for visualizing multivariate statistical measurements comprising:

• a processor operably coupled to a display monitor;
• said processor being configured to:
• receive multivariate statistical output data from a multivariate statistical model, said multivariate statistical output data comprising raw and/or post processed data;
• and
• render as a color map on said display said multivariate statistical output data as a function of time;
• map the magnitude of said multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples to a corresponding color value or range of color values;
• and
• adjust the color of a corresponding patch of said color map to the mapped color value or range of color values.

A non-transitory computer-readable media with a color map display rendering module stored thereon, which, when run on a computer system, implements a method for visualizing multivariate statistical measurements on a display monitor, the method comprising:

• receiving multivariate statistical output data from a multivariate statistical model, said multivariate statistical output data comprising raw and/or post processed data;
• and
• rendering as a color map on a display of said computer system said multivariate statistical output data as a function of time;
• wherein rendering as a color map on a display said multivariate statistical output data as a function of time comprises:
• obtaining multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples;
• rendering multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples as a corresponding color patch on said display;
• and
• wherein rendering multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples as a corresponding color patch on said display includes:
• mapping the magnitude of multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples to a corresponding color or range of colors;
• and
• adjusting the color of the corresponding patch to the mapped color or range of colors.
