Systems and methods are described which use associations between field values, more generally terms, called selectors, and data items, or structures within data items. The associative information is derived from the content of data and can be stored in optimal data structures, generally descriptively named associative matrices, which may be used to perform searches and calculations of data analytics. In some embodiments, calculations use only selector values and their counts, called frequencies, of associated data items, and / or structures within those items. Special queries, executed on the associative information, determine the frequencies. Methods of data analysis use the results of these queries. Applications can display results dynamically as a user creates queries by choosing selectors, changing the queries, and creating new ones, completely intuitively, using point and click. By comparing the results of multiple queries, such an application enables users to dynamically and quantitatively explore associations between facet values.

A method of evaluating business processes comprises inputting a set of initial processes, inputting a distance function, and determining whether new processes are allowed. If such new processes are not allowed, the method determines which of the initial processes is the best process by applying the initial processes to the distance function to determine which of the initial processes has the lowest measure score produced by the distance function. Therefore, the method identifies the initial process having the lowest measure score as the best-of-breed process. If such new processes are allowed, the method determines which of the initial processes and the new processes is the best using the following process. The process of finding the best process translates the initial processes to counterparts for use with an evolutionary algorithm and selects a fitness function for the evolutionary algorithm. This process continues by applying the evolutionary algorithm to the counterparts using the fitness function to generate an output state (score) and determining which of the processes is closest to the output state to identify the best process. Then the best-of-breed process can be translated and output to the user.

A database that generates summary as well as detailed comparisons between regions on a wide range of indicators, providing clear benchmarks to support the work of policymakers and analysts as well the general public. The first implementation of this data application system is the Regional Innovation Index, focused on economic innovation. The Regional Innovation Index allows a user to compare the performance of selected regions in terms of indicators such as capital availability, education, immigration patterns, labor availability, firms, industry composition, infrastructure and university activities. The system can also filter results by industry. Eventually it is anticipated that the Regional Innovation Index will be expanded to cover international comparisons.
