A formalization of the space of descriptions used by data analysts is described and heuristics for searching through this space are described, including a Tree-based Environment for developing Statistical Strategy (TESS), which includes a development environment for implementing and evaluating statistical strategies, as well as flexible mechanisms for applying the strategies to data.
