Benefits of technology

The disclosed method allows for quick interpretation of complex statistical data by laypeople. This can be useful for interpreting data from professional sources. Additionally, the method can be used by chief marketing officers to quickly analyze models that predict a person's likelihood to purchase or churn.

Problems solved by technology

But connecting mathematical values and results to their natural language meaning has troubled generations.
Thus, while experts are able to understand the meaning of the statistical analysis, those with less expertise are not.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]The present disclosure relates to a method for analyzing statistical data and presenting the analysis in a textual or prose format (i.e., common language). The method will use stored rules for determining the interpretation of the statistical data and the text of the output. The method can function in conjunction with a computer processor in a dynamic, real-time mode. One possible example is the interpretation of statistical data on who is likely to purchase particular product. The various components of the present invention, and the manner in which they interrelate, are described in greater detail hereinafter.

[0012]Initially with reference to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention comprises a computer-implemented method 10 for presenting statistical analysis in a natural language textual output, the method employing a processor and comprising providing pre-established plain language descriptive text 24, providing a plurality of pre-established statistical analysis ty...

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for presenting statistical analysis in a natural language textual output comprising: receiving data to be analyzed by the processor; processing the data according to at least one of a plurality of pre-established statistical analysis types, thereby providing processed data; interpreting the processed data by converting the processed data to a pre-determined natural language text, thereby providing interpreted data; and generating a natural language textual output for the interpreted data according to at least one pre-established rule for converting the interpreted data to a natural language textual output.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This disclosure relates to a method for processing and interpreting statistical analyses and presenting the results of the analyses as plain language text. More particularly, this disclosure relates to the interpretation of statistical data including, but not limited to, inferential statistical analyses, supervised and unsupervised models, non-parametric analysis (e.g., Mann Whitney test), data mining analyses (association rules, neural networks, generalized additive models, classification and regression trees, predictive models, CHAID models, cluster analyses, data reduction, classification models), time series models, structural equation models, medical informatics, bioinformatics, and fraud detection models.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Statistical analysis is vital in almost every industry. But connecting mathematical values and results to their natural language meaning has troubled generations. Thus, while experts are able to understand the meaning of th...
