Abstract
A method for visually representing a plurality of clusters, the plurality of clusters comprising a plurality of entities with respect to a plurality of entity attributes is provided. The plurality of entities is segmented into the plurality of clusters, such that each individual entity belongs to at least one cluster. A plurality of entity data regarding the plurality of entities is processed to obtain a plurality of characteristics of each cluster of the plurality of clusters with respect to each entity attribute of the plurality of entity attributes. A visual display of the plurality of clusters with respect to the plurality of entity attributes is generated, such that for each cluster of the plurality of clusters and for each entity attribute of the plurality of entity attributes, a portion of the display represents at least two characteristics of the plurality of characteristics simultaneously for that cluster with respect to that entity attribute.
