Claim 7:
8. A method utilizing prune-and-prioritize functionality for assisting analysis of event data which relates to a circumstance that is under investigation by an analyst, the method comprising:
pruning the event data by condensing at least some of the event data or by excluding at least some of the event data or by doing both;
automatically creating clusters based on pruned event data, the clusters being created according to a similarity metric by using a clustering algorithm;
ranking at least some of the clusters according to one or more factors, thereby prioritizing event data of clusters for inspection;
performing a regression analysis using call stack traces of multiple threads of a build, the call stack traces generated by execution of the build, the regression analysis indicating an amount of the call stack traces that were not generated by execution of at least one different build; and
presenting through a user interface a result of the regression analysis, or at least a portion of the pruned event data of at least some clusters according to their cluster ranks, or both.
