Claim One:
1. A method for identifying a streak in a data set, the method comprising: identifying, by one or more computing devices including one or more processors, a plurality of patterns within the data set, the data set being a binary data set including only “1”s and “0”s; converting, by the one or more computing devices including the one or more processors, the data set into a linear graph including a plurality of nodes and linking edges, wherein each node is assigned an initial value based on a count of consecutive “1”s identified within the data set and each linking edge is assigned an initial value based on a count of consecutive “0”s identified within the data set; merging, by the one or more computing devices including the one or more processors, one node with at least one adjacent node, thereby forming a merged node having an increased value based on the values of the one node and the adjacent node; and identifying, by the one or more computing devices including the one or more processors, a streak based on the value of the merged node.
