  • Patent number: 11086881
    Abstract: A method and a device for analyzing data are provided. The method includes following steps. A plurality of queries for an event stored in a database are integrated to obtain a plurality of features. Each feature is limited at a searching condition. A plurality of items of searched data are obtained from the database according to respective searching condition of each feature. Whether a data volume of the searched data is higher or lower than a predetermined range is determined. If the data volume is higher than the predetermined range, the data volume of the searched data is reduced according to the features. If the data volume is lower than the predetermined range, the data volume of the searched data is increased according to the features. A correlation between the features and the event is analyzed according to the searched data.
