Method and system for mapping a hypothesis to an analytical structure
View Patent ↗A method for mapping a hypothesis to an analytical structure includes receiving the hypothesis from an interface and generating a representation of the hypothesis. The method includes generating a script of the representation by mapping the representation into a neutral grammar and transmitting the script to an analytical tool. The method may also include analyzing the script to form an analytical structure. The interface may comprise a human interface or a machine interface. The method may also include generating a linguistic expression of the hypothesis.
1. A computer-implemented method for mapping a hypothesis to an analytical structure, comprising:
receiving a hypothesis from an interface;
generating a representation of the hypothesis, the representation comprising at least one data source, at least one record and at least one dimension associated with the at least one record;
generating a script of the representation by mapping the representation into a neutral grammar;
transmitting the script to an analytical tool; and
analyzing the script to form an analytical structure, the analytical structure comprising a confidence factor.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a human interface.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a machine interface.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a linguistic expression of the hypothesis.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grammar comprises a tag-based grammar.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grammar comprises extensible Markup Language (XML).
7. A system for mapping a hypothesis to an analytical structure, comprising:
a memory comprising:
a hypothesis representation module operable to receive a hypothesis from an interface, wherein the hypothesis representation module is further operable to generate a representation of the hypothesis, wherein the representation comprises at least one data source, at least one record and at least one dimension associated with the at least one record; and
a hypothesis mapping module operable to generating a script of the representation by mapping the representation into a neutral grammar;
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor operable to transmit the script to an analytical tool;
the memory comprising the analytical tool; and
wherein the analytical tool is operable to analyze the script to form an analytical structure, the analytical structure comprising a confidence factor.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the interface comprises a human interface.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the interface comprises a machine interface.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hypothesis representation module is further operable to generate a linguistic expression of the hypothesis.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the grammar comprises a tag-based grammar.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the grammar comprises eXtensible Markup Language (XML).
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one dimension comprises a discrete dimension.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one dimension comprises a continuous dimension.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the hypothesis comprises the form H i ={{r|rεR k ,R k ⊂ R}∩{λd|λdεD′ j ⊂ }}.
16. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one dimension comprises a discrete dimension.
17. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one dimension comprises a continuous dimension.
