Abstract
A dataset and some user selected columns of the dataset are received by a statistical analysis module for analysis. The statistical analysis module generates a score for each unselected column of the dataset based on statistical analysis of the unselected columns and all or a subset of the selected columns. A ranking of the unselected columns is presented to the user for selection of one additional column of the dataset, after which the remaining unselected columns are re-ranked according to their associated scores and once again displayed to the user. The user may continue selecting from among the ranked columns until a threshold number of columns has been selected, at which point the user may deselect a selected column in order to continue selecting additional columns. A visualization suggestion application program interface then matches the selected columns with compatible visualization configurations and presents some of these visualizations to the user.
