Patent ID: 7149649

Claim:
A method for an automatic software-driven statistical evaluation of a large amount of data to be assigned to statistical variables in a database contained in at least one cluster, the method comprising: developing a statistical model that approximately describes at least one relative frequency of the states of the statistical variables and a statistical dependency between the states of the statistical variables; determining an approximate relative frequency of the states of the statistical variables and an approximate relative frequency belonging to an at least one pre-determined relative frequency of the states of the statistical variables and an expected value of the states of the statistical variables dependent thereon by using data stored in the database and the statistical model; and performing a statistical evaluation of at least one of: (a) customer data in a Web reporting/Web mining area; (b) customer data in a customer relationship management system; (c) an environmental database; (d) a medical database; and (e) a genome database; and outputting results of the statistical evaluation.
