Abstract:
1. A system for use in analysis of two-dimensional data, the system comprising: a computer having a processor, a display, and a memory, the processor being configured to operate programming instructions stored in the memory to: access a first set of two-dimensional data, the first set comprising a plurality of data points each representing a series of points having a locus X-value and a corresponding locus Y-value; and analyze the first set of two dimensional data to determine the presence of a first data set pattern at a determined locus X-value by developing a list of loci X-values and corresponding loci Y-values, the loci X-values being confined to a determined range including the locus X-value, the list further comprising data points drawn from the first set and excluding data points from the first set for which the Y-value is less than a determined tolerance value, the list further including only those data points for which a common mathematical relationship is found to be present.
