Method of determining implicit hidden features of phenomena which can be represented by a point distribution in a space

摘要

A method of determining implicit hidden features of phenomena, representable by a point distribution in a space, includes the following steps:defining a set of first parameters describing effects of a phenomenon such as an event or process, which are measurable and characteristic of the event or process;defining a n-dimensional space, wherein the first parameters are represented by entity points;determining, as a function of measured values of the first parameters, additional geometrical points in the n-dimensional space, which are expected to provide additional characteristic parameters describing the phenomenon or additional locations where the phenomenon will produce its effects;adding the additional parameters or points, in recurrent sequence, to the first parameters or points, to define at each iterative step a shorter minimum spanning tree than at the preceding step; anddisplaying or printing the n-dimensional space, wherein the additional characteristic parameters or points are shown together with the first parameters and the geometrical point.
