Database processing method for statistical analysis of data arising from a number of external databases with data input, using a mask, to a standard data table for statistical analysis and detection and removal of redundant data

摘要

Method for statistical evaluation of data uses data masks and selection criteria to select partial data quantities. Subsequent steps involve selection of a statistical method from a multiplicity of available methods to use in data processing and a step in which the selected data is copied into a data table with a predefined structure so that the selected method can be applied in a standard manner that is independent of the data content. Independent claims are also included for the following:- (a) a method for detection and removal of redundancies in data tables, especially relational database tables; (b) a computer program; (c) a data carrier; (d) and a computer system for implementation of the inventive methods.
