GENERATING A VISUALIZATION TO SHOW MINING RESULTS PRODUCED FROM SELECTED DATA ITEMS AND ATTRIBUTE(S) IN A SELECTED FOCUS AREA AND OTHER PORTIONS OF A DATA SET

To visualize and analyze data, selection of at least one focus area in a visualization of a data set is received. Based on characteristics of the selected at least one focus area, using at least one analytic technique to mine relationships between data items and at least one attribute in the selected at least one focus area and data items and at least one attribute in remaining portions of the data set.
