  • Patent number: 11328225
    Abstract: A computing device selects a trained spatial regression model. A spatial weights matrix defined for observation vectors is selected, where each element of the spatial weights matrix indicates an amount of influence between respective pairs of observation vectors. Each observation vector is spatially referenced. A spatial regression model is selected from spatial regression models, initialized, and trained using the observation vectors and the spatial weights matrix to fit a response variable using regressor variables. Each observation vector includes a response value for the response variable and a regressor value for each regressor variable of the regressor variables. A fit criterion value is computed for the spatial regression model and the spatial regression model selection, initialization, and training are repeated until each spatial regression model is selected. A best spatial regression model is selected and output as the spatial regression model having an extremum value of the fit criterion value.

  • Patent number: 11250340
    Abstract: In an example, for each feature of one or more features of a target sample data, feature values for one or more pseudo-samples are generated using, localized stratified sampling. The one or more pseudo-samples are fed into the trained machine learned model to obtain their prediction values. A piecewise linear regression model is trained using the one or more pseudo-samples and their prediction values, the piecewise linear regression model having two coefficients for each feature, a first coefficient describing prediction change when a corresponding feature value is increased and a second coefficient describing prediction change when a corresponding feature value is decreased. A top positive feature influencer is identified based on a feature of the one or more features of the target sample having a greatest magnitude of positive first coefficient or greatest magnitude of negative second coefficient.
