SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF SMART MEASURES FOR USE WITH A DATA ANALYTICS ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing dynamically-generated analytic data metrics or measures, referred to herein as smart measures, for use with a data analytics environment. A smart measure can be scoped to a dataset, and associated with a metadata that indicates an understanding of the scoped data or changes thereto of interest to particular users. A system can operate in accordance with a smart measure and associated rules to monitor its associated data, and broadcast relevant information to subscribers, such as, for example, anomalies, trends, or other notable changes. Smart measures can be automatically discovered, defined, or updated by the system, for example as dynamically-generated key performance indicators, based on an understanding of the dataset and/or information received from a community of users. Conditional formatting can be used in presenting the smart measure as, for example, a data metric or visualization.
