The Expander program derives aggregate sets or supersets from input data, and outputs both the relative set name and the percentage of cells in both the newly derived sets and the original sets. The percentage of cells in the derived sets is calculated by adding together the percentages in the subsets, as illustrated in Figure 1. The rows below illustrate the format of both input and output, but not direct correspondence between input and output. Output is loaded into a relational database for further analysis.
