Abstract
Checking and/or completing for data grids is described such as for grids having rows and columns of cells at least some of which contain data values such as numbers or categories. In various embodiments predictive probability distributions are obtained from an inference engine for one or more of the cells and the predictive probability distributions are used for various tasks such as to suggest values to complete blank cells, highlight cells having outlying values, identify potential errors, suggest corrections to potential errors, identify similarities between cells, identify differences between cells, cluster rows of the data grid, and other tasks. In various embodiments a graphical user interface displays a data grid and provides facilities for completing, error checking/correcting, and analyzing data in the data grid.
