Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a data processing system having multiple executable threads that is configured to generate a cross-product matrix in a single pass through data to be analyzed. An example system comprises memory for receiving the data to be analyzed, a processor having a plurality of executable threads for executing code to analyze data, and software code for generating a cross-product matrix in a single pass through data to be analyzed. The software code includes threaded variable levelization code for generating a plurality of thread specific binary trees for a plurality of classification variables, variable tree merge code for combining a plurality of the thread-specific trees into a plurality of overall trees for the plurality of classification variables, effect levelization code for generating sub-matrices using the plurality of the overall trees for the plurality of classification variables, and cross-product matrix generation code for generating the cross-product matrix.
