Patent ID: 6898563

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of representing a mathematical transform between a binary output variable and a plurality of binary input variables on a computer display, the method comprising the steps of: separating the plurality of binary input variables into a respective plurality of fields, each field of the plurality of fields corresponding to a respective display level of a multi-level display format having a top display level and at least one lower display level; selecting a combination of the binary input variables of a first field of the plurality of fields, the first field corresponding to a first display level; identifying combinations of the binary input variables of a second field of the plurality of fields which affect the binary output variable for the selected combination of the binary input variables of the first field of the plurality of fields, the second field corresponding to a second display level lower than the first display level; displaying, on the computer display at the second display level, the identified combinations of the binary input variables of the second field of the plurality of fields in at least one collapsed combination map.
