Viewing a discrete 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 run that uses non-cumulative subsets 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 discrete map graph.

7.         On the Discrete Map Graph 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.

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.

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 score of at least the specified number.

8.         Specify the following display options:

 

Display Option

Description

Select by and show value of

In each cell of the grid, display the numeric value of N (observed), EBGM, or EB05. Cells with no occurrences are empty.

Color by

Indicates whether the cell color should be controlled by:

  • EBGM, according to the graph cutpoints and palette.

  • EB05, according to the graph cutpoints and palette.

  • No color.

Order by high value in any subset

Depending on your selection for Select by and show value of, orders the combinations in the graph in descending order of N, EBGM, or EB05 across all subsets.

For example, if the graph contains values of EBGM and has at most six combinations. order by the high value in any subset. The application orders combinations in descending order of EBGM as follows:

Combination

Subset1

Subset2

Subset3

DrugA-EventA

EBGM=2.0

EBGM=3.8

EBGM=1.4

DrugA-EventB

EBGM=3.1

EBGM=1.1

 

DrugA-EventC

EBGM=1.5

EBGM=2.6

EBGM=2.8

DrugA-EventD

EBGM=2.7

 

EBGM=2.4

DrugA-EventE

EBGM=0.5

EBGM=2.5

EBGM=0.8

DrugA-EventF

 

EBGM=1.1

EBGM=2.1

Order by item

Sort combinations in the graph in ascending order of item name across all subsets.

9.         Click Display.

The discrete 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.

See Working with results graphs for information about links below the graph.
