Abstract: A method of proportional highlighting of data is provided. A graph presented on a display includes a first axis, a second axis, and a first value marker that indicates a value determined from data selected for presentation. The first axis includes a minimum value and a maximum value. The second axis includes a plurality of category values. An indicator identifying a subset of the data is received. A proportional value is determined for the first value marker based on the received indicator. A second value marker indicating the proportional value is presented on the graph overlaid on the first value marker when the determined proportional value is between the minimum value and the maximum value. A scale adjustment marker is presented on the graph without adjusting the first axis when the determined proportional value is not between the minimum value and the maximum value.

Abstract: Techniques to present hierarchical information as orthographic projections are described. An apparatus may comprise an orthographic projection application arranged to manage a three dimensional orthographic projection of hierarchical information. The orthographic projection application may comprise a hierarchical information component operative to receive hierarchical information representing multiple nodes at different hierarchical levels, and parse the hierarchical information into a tree data structure, an orthographic generator component operative to generate a graphical tile for each node, arrange graphical tiles for each hierarchical level into graphical layers, and arrange the graphical layers in a vertical stack, and an orthographic presentation component operative to present a three dimensional orthographic projection of the hierarchical information with the stack of graphical layers each having multiple graphical tiles. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for handling time-stamped data. The one or more GUIs are used to define properties of an event and to associate the event with time-stamped data. The properties of the event defined using the one or more GUIs includes one or more statistical properties that indicate how the event statistically affects the time-stamped data. A time series analysis program uses the time-stamped data and the associated event to generate a mathematical model.
