  • Dynamic editing of data representations using cascading weights
    Patent number: 10922478
    Abstract: A method and system for representing data includes providing a data representation according to defined variables and a functional relationship between the defined variables and receiving an assigned weight assigned to a defined variable. The method includes receiving a modification of a selected defined variable, and providing a further data representation according to a recalculation of an unselected defined variable, based upon the functional relationship, the assigned weight and the modified variable. Assigned weights and a plurality of modifications of the weighted variable are received. A further data representation is provided according to a further recalculation of the weighted variable based upon a weight selected from the assigned weights according to a previous modification of the weighted variable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 16, 2021
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
