Claim One:
1. A method for displaying an interesting subset of a plurality of aggregations of data comprising: preprocessing the plurality of aggregations by an online analytical processing (OLAP) engine designed to operate on multidimensional data structures, the preprocessing comprising: receiving from a server a plurality of dimensions, a first order in which the dimensions are to be evaluated, a plurality of attributes, and a second order in which the attributes are to be evaluated, wherein the dimensions, the attributes, the first order and the second order describe properties of the plurality of aggregations; generating the plurality of aggregations based on the plurality of dimensions, the plurality of attributes, the first order and the second order received from said server; statistically analyzing and identifying a subset of the plurality of aggregations as the interesting subset of the plurality of aggregations, wherein each aggregation in the interesting subset has (i) one or more values that fall outside a predetermined boundary of a standard deviation, (ii) a ratio between one or more maximum values and one or more minimum values that exceeds a first predetermined value, and (iii) a difference between the maximum values and the minimum values that exceeds a second predetermined value; storing the interesting subset of the plurality of aggregations in a database; analyzing the plurality of aggregations based on a received query; and displaying the interesting subset of the plurality of aggregations in response to the received query.
