Sector maps

A sector map for data mining results is a visual presentation of data for a particular drug across all System Organ Classes (SOCs). A large tile represents each System Organ Class (SOC) in the sector map. Smaller tiles within each SOC tile represent Preferred Terms (PTs).

A sector map graph is available for two-dimensional results of MGPS data mining runs.

The application ranks PTs in descending order of values of the statistic (EBGM, EB05, Chi-statistic, or PRR) that you choose. A color key indicates relative ranking. You can also list the ranked PTs below the sector map.

Note:

The primary path of a PT determines where it appears in the sector map. If a PT is not in the event hierarchy associated with the configuration, it appears in a SOC tile named Unknown.

The list of ranked PTs below the sector map includes the following information:

Field Description

Rank

Ranking of the term (combined with the drug) according to values of the statistic you have configured the sector map to use (via the Color controlled by option).

SOC

SOC containing the term.

Term (PT)

Specific PT.

EBGM. EB05, Chi-statistic, or PRR

Value of the statistic you have configured the sector map to use (via the Color controlled by option).

If Notes is checked when you display the graph, a Notes section provides information about the selection criteria and display options used for the graph.

The following example is for a two-dimensional data mining run, with the drug Abacavir selected on the Select Criteria page:
