In carrying out the unusual combinations analysis, Mamut Validis examines the value of each field within each transaction and identifies what the usual combinations of field values are, and what combinations are unusual.
The Unusual Combinations report shows:
The value of transactions for each unusual combination (or “issue”); available as a chart or as a table.
The number of occurrences for each different unusual combination (or “issue”); available as a chart or as a table.
A summary list of “issues”, transactions and values.
