Viewing a cumulative map graph

1.         Click the Data Mining Runs tab.

The Data Mining Runs page appears.

2.         Click the row menu (Row menu) for the run. and then click View Results.

or

Click the Data Mining Results tab.

The Select Criteria page appears.

3.         From the Run name drop-down list, select the two-dimensional MGPS runs with cumulative subsets run that you want to view. (Your user preference, Default Run, determines which run, if any, is selected by default.) You can also click Browse next to the Run name field to find and select a run.

4.         Type  at least one drug or event.

5.         Click Choose Graph.

The Choose Graph page appears.

6.         Select a cumulative map graph.

7.         On the Map Graph (Cumulative) page, specify restrictions, which will be applied in addition to any restrictions that you specified on the Select Criteria page:

 

Restriction

Description

N at least ____

Display only combinations with an observed count (N) of at least the specified number.

EBGM at least ____

Display only combinations with an EBGM score of at least the specified number.

EB05 at least ____

Display only combinations with an EB05 value of at least the specified number.

At most ____ associations

Display no more than the specified number of combinations. You can display up to 200 combinations. If combinations are excluded because of this limit, a message appears below the graph.

8.         Specify the following display options:


Display Option

Description

Show value of

In each cell of the grid, display the numeric value of N (observed), EBGM, or EB05. You can also select Leave blank to display a grid without labels. Cells with no occurrences are empty.

Color by

Check to specify how to color graph cells:

  • EBGM, according to the graph cutpoints and palette.
  • EB05, according to the graph cutpoints and palette.
  • No color.

Order by first occurrence of

Indicates how to order drug-event combinations in the graph, based on descending order of N, EBGM, or EB05 values. The application applies this ordering to combinations for the first subset. If the maximum number of combinations is not reached, the application applies the ordering to combinations for the second subset, and so on, until the maximum number of combinations is reached. (The maximum number of combinations is determined by the At most __ associations option.)

For example, the graph shows values of EBGM and has at most six combinations. You order by the first occurrence of EBGM > 2. The combinations in descending order of EBGM are as follows:

 

Combination

Subset1

Subset2

Subset3

DrugA-EventB

EBGM=3.1

EBGM=1.1

 

DrugA-EventD

EBGM=2.7

 

EBGM=2.4

DrugA-EventA

EBGM=2.0

EBGM=3.8

EBGM=1.4

DrugA-EventC

EBGM=1.5

EBGM=2.6

EBMG=2.8

DrugA-EventE

EBGM=0.5

EBGM=2.5

EBGM=0.8

DrugA-EventF

 

EBGM=1.1

EBGM=2.1

9.         Click Display.

The cumulative map graph appears.

10.      You can point to a cell of the graph to display statistics for the combination represented by the cell. Long drug or event terms may end in an ellipsis in the label on the graph itself; in this case, you can point to the cell to see the full terms.

11.      Click a cell in the graph to display a menu. If you are displaying multiple graphs on the same page, do not click any graph until all the graphs appear.

A.        To display the cases underlying the cell, click View Cases to drill down to a list of cases for the bar.

B.        To create a case series from the cases comprising the cell, click Create Case Series.

C.        To transfer to a different case series, click Case Series.

D.        To download the cases from the cell, click Download Cases.

E.        To download case details of the cell, click Download Case Details.

F.        To run a report about the cell, click Reports.

G.        To save the graph as an attachment to a topic, click Save to Topic. (This option is available if Links is checked and the topics feature has been set up.) The graph is attached in a PDF file.
