Publication number: 20150006605Abstract: Provided are techniques for interaction detection for generalized linear models. Basic statistics are calculated for a pair of categorical predictor variables and a target variable from a dataset during a single pass over the dataset. It is determined whether there is a significant interaction effect for the pair of categorical predictor variables on the target variable by: calculating a log-likelihood value for a full generalized linear model without estimating model parameters; calculating the model parameters for a reduced generalized linear model with a recursive marginal mean accumulation technique using the basic statistics; calculating a log-likelihood value for the reduced generalized linear model; calculating a likelihood ratio test statistic using the log-likelihood value for the full generalized linear model and the log-likelihood value for the reduced generalized linear model; calculating a p-value of the likelihood ratio test statistic; and comparing the p-value to a significance level.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Yea J.

Patent number: 8868573Abstract: Provided are techniques for generating order statistics and error bounds. For each of multiple, distributed data sources, a finite number of data bins are created for each field in that data source. Data values in each of the multiple, distributed data sources are processed to generate basic summaries for each of the data bins in a single pass of the data values. The data bins from each of the multiple, distributed data sources are sorted. One or more approximate order statistics are computed for a data set by accumulating counts from a number of the sorted data bins. Lower and upper error bounds are provided for each of the computed one or more approximate order statistics, wherein the lower and upper error bounds are values delimiting an interval containing a true value of an order statistic.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yea J.

Publication number: 20140207722Abstract: Provided are techniques for computing a task result. A processing data set of records is created, wherein each of the records contains data specific to a sub-task from a set of actual sub-tasks and contains a reference to data shared by the set of actual sub-tasks, and wherein a number of the records is equivalent to a number of the actual sub-tasks in the set of actual sub-tasks. With each mapper in a set of mappers, one of the records of the processing data set is received and an assigned sub-task is executed using the received one of the records to generate output.
