34 results about "Categorical variable" patented technology

In statistics, a categorical variable is a variable that can take on one of a limited, and usually fixed number of possible values, assigning each individual or other unit of observation to a particular group or nominal category on the basis of some qualitative property. In computer science and some branches of mathematics, categorical variables are referred to as enumerations or enumerated types. Commonly (though not in this article), each of the possible values of a categorical variable is referred to as a level. The probability distribution associated with a random categorical variable is called a categorical distribution.

Method, system and computer program product for visually approximating scattered data using color to represent values of a categorical variable

A method, system, and computer program product for a new data visualization tool for determining distribution weights that represent values of a categorical variable and then mapping a distinct color to each of the weights so as to visually represent the different values of the categorical variable (or data attribute) in a scatter plot. The distinct colors of a splat are based on the distribution of categorical variable values in a corresponding bin, the distribution of which is represented by a vector. The vector contains as many locations as the number of different values for the categorical variable. The value stored in each location is typically a weight or percentage for that particular value of the categorical variable. Each location in the vector is also associated with a distinct color. The coloring of a single splat with multiple colors involves the rendering of each vector by looping through each vector location, and then based on the weight stored in that location, randomly selecting the same percentage of triangles in the splat for the color associated with that vector location. A threshold is used to help reduce confusion and decrease processing time by summing all weights below the threshold and assigning to it a single neutral color. A slider or other controller can be used to vary the value of the threshold.

Valuation of properties bordering specified geographic features

Modeling comparable properties and rendering map images with automatic valuation of properties bordering specified geographic features. A valuation model identifies and accounts for the proximity of properties to geographic features. For example, estimating property value includes accessing property data corresponding to a geographic area and performing a regression based upon the property data. The regression models the relationship between price and explanatory variables, with the explanatory variables including proximity to geographic features. Proximity may be a categorical variable wherein properties bordering the geographic feature are determined to possess the proximity characteristic. Alternative explanatory variables may incorporate different degrees of proximity.
