Abstract
Using natural language-like user inputs to provide statistics on a subset of data is described. In one embodiment, a user input that includes at least one word or phrase representing a rule is received. The rule includes an identification of a subset of data and a statistical expression to be performed on the subset of data. The subset of data includes at least part of the data elements of a data set. Each data element includes information on an individual or group. Instructions are provided for translating the rule into an executable format. The executable format includes a translated identification of the subset and a translated statistical expression. The subset of the data is accessed using the translated identification of the subset. The translated statistical expression is executed to obtain statistics on data elements of the subset of data. The statistics on the data elements are provided.
