Abstract: A system for analyzing data from a data set is disclosed. The system includes analysis logic responsive to a dimensional analysis control and an attribute analysis control for the same data. This logic can incrementally update the state of a data presentation from an existing state to a new state, and then remain responsive in the new state to further user input via the dimensional data analysis control and further user input via the attribute analysis control to further incrementally update the presentation.

Abstract: A system for analyzing data is disclosed. In one general aspect it includes a data analysis user interface responsive to user interaction to initiate actions on the data. An action logging interface is operative to create a logged sequence of actions as the user initiates them through the data analysis user interface. And a token-based authoring user interface responsive to user selection commands to select action-tokens corresponding to the actions logged by the action logging interface to create an authored set of actions that has an authored sequence that can be different from the logged sequence.

Abstract: A system for analyzing data from a database is disclosed. In one general aspect, a binned data representation window is operative to display a binned data representation including bin elements that each correspond to one or more values from the database. A binning control is responsive to user input to adjust the correspondence between bin elements and the values from the database. The binning control is available while the binned data representation window is displayed, and changes to the binning control cause corresponding changes to the binned data representation window.
