1. A method for analyzing a sequence of data arrays comprising the steps of: (a) selecting at least one type of region of interest of said data arrays; (b) selecting at least one region of interest for each of said at least one selected type of region of interest selected in step (a) from said data arrays; (c) transforming said sequence of data arrays into a first simplified data array having a first dimension equal to the number of said at least one region of interest selected in step (b), a second dimension equal to the number of data arrays in said sequence, and a third dimension equal to the number of said selected types of regions of interest; (d) detecting events of interest in said at least one selected region of interest; (e) storing said detected events of interest in a second simplified data array of binary data, having the same dimensions as said first simplified data array; and (f) analyzing data in one of the data arrays selected from the group consisting of said first simplified data array and said second simplified data array, to determine relationships between said detected events of interest.
