Abstract
A computer-based method of determining a weirdness score for variables within a data set is provided. The method includes receiving a selection of a first variable, wherein the first variable is defined by a measure, a time period, and a plurality of entities, calculating a plurality of parameters for the first variable, wherein each of the plurality of parameters is calculated based at least in part on a deviation of a measured value from a predicted value, calculating a rank for each of the plurality of parameters for the first variable, wherein the rank of each parameter is calculated relative to corresponding parameters calculated for all other variables in the data set having the same measure and time period as the first variable, and calculating a weirdness score for the first variable based at least in part on the calculated rank of each of the plurality of parameters.
