Patent number: 10949752Abstract: The embodiments the systems and methods described herein attempt to optimally select a group or portfolio of control locations for each test location. The optimization can be generally performed in two steps. First, an objective function is defined that scores the similarity of a set of control locations averaged together. Second, given the large number of potential solutions, a computationally-feasible algorithm that identifies an optimal set of control locations and is based on the objective function is executed. In order to obtain the optimal set of control locations in an efficient manner for use in business analytics, the algorithm may use a hill-climbing algorithm. As a result, an optimization function can be incrementally improved in an efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Applied Predictive Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Philip Burns, Anthony Dean Bruce, Arvind Bhusnurmath
