Patent ID: 8013864

Claim:
A method for visualizing multivariate statistical measurements, implemented by a processing system, comprising: receiving multivariate statistical output data from a multivariate statistical model, said multivariate statistical output data comprising raw and/or post processed data; rendering as a color map on a display of said processing system, said multivariate statistical output data as a function of time; wherein rendering as a color map on a display said multivariate statistical output data as a function of time comprises: obtaining multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples; rendering multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples as a corresponding color patch on said display; wherein rendering multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples as a corresponding color patch on said display includes: mapping the magnitude of multivariate statistical output data at each time sample or multiple time samples to a corresponding color or range of colors; and adjusting the color of the corresponding patch to the mapped color or range or colors.
