  • Patent number: 11848104
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes selecting a group of sets. Each set has values for immutable attributes that match values for at least one mutable attribute in a prediction request. The method includes determining a conditional covariance matrix for the group of sets. The method includes generating a deviation model based on the conditional covariance matrix. The method includes sampling the deviation model to generate multiple sets of likely mutable attribute values. The method includes automatically selecting a neural network from a set of outcome models based on the likely mutable attribute values. Each neural network includes a set of layers. Each layer includes a set of nodes. A first layer receives inputs at the set of nodes of the input layer. Each layer other than the first layer receives outputs from a preceding layer and creates modified outputs. A last layer outputs the modified outputs from the neural network.
