Abstract

The method is for detecting a selectable number of groups of objects having at least one selectable characteristic from a population of objects specifiable by a plurality of attributes. The objects of the population are subdivided into object groups of a first order, on the basis of respectively at least one attribute. The quality of each object group of this order is detected, on the basis of the total number of its objects and the number of its objects having said at least one characteristic. Each object group of this order is included into the number of object groups to be detected, if the object group has a quality higher than the lowest quality of the object group among the object groups detected up to this point. A hypothetical quality is detected on the basis exclusively of those objects of this object group which have at least one of the characteristics. The hypothetical quality is a quality of a hypothetical group derived from the actually processed group and including exclusively the objects thereof having the at least one characteristic. All those object groups of this order the hypothetical quality of which includes a selectable quality value and particularly is of the quality of the respective object groups, are subdivided into object groups of the next lower order, by selecting at least one attribute.
