AUTOMATICALLY ORGANIZING DATA SETS

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for organizing data sets is provided. The method includes analyzing at least a subset of a first column of data in a data structure comprising a plurality of columns of data to determine a pattern. The method also includes determining a split column candidate according to the pattern. The method also includes determining a statistical correlation of the split column candidate with other ones of the plurality of columns of data. The method also includes splitting the first column of data into two columns of data when the statistical correlation of the split column candidate is less than a threshold.
