  • Patent number: 7805703
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for visually representing the interactions of input variables and output variables using a visualization field. The method comprises generating a visualization field on a display device, generating input variable indicators representative of the input variables, positioning the input variable indicators relative to the visualization field, generating interaction indicators, which are indicators of the input variables, positioning the interaction indicators relative to the visualization field, and adjusting the appearance of the interaction indicators to reflect the values of the output variables. The interaction indicators may also comprise association indicators that identify the input variables associated with the interaction indicators.
