Patent number: 11521744Abstract: A method includes maintaining sets of values for mutable and immutable attributes. Each outcome model of a set of outcome models generates a predicted likelihood of an outcome in response to at least one immutable attribute value and at least one mutable attribute value. A prediction request specifies a first outcome, values for at least one immutable attribute, and values for at least one mutable attribute. The method includes, in response, selecting a group of the sets, where each has values for the immutable attributes that match those of the prediction request. The method includes determining a conditional covariance matrix for the group of sets and then generating a deviation model. The method includes sampling the deviation model to generate sets of mutable attribute values. The method includes, for each of the sets of mutable attribute values, generating, using a selected outcome model, a likelihood of the first outcome occurring.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Cigna Intellectual Property, Inc.Inventors: Armand E.
