Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for methods and apparatuses for determining when to perform or trigger events. The technique comprises determining a first cost of false positives and a second cost of missed true positives. A Receive Operating Characteristic (ROC) of a prediction model is determined for the occurrence of one or more events. The operational area on the ROC is determined based on the first costs and second costs. A threshold is determined from the ROC and is applied to a detection or prediction function. An event is triggered based on the threshold.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a hierarchical representation containing a set of namespaces of a set of features shared by a set of statistical models. Next, the system uses the hierarchical representation to obtain, from one or more execution environments, a subset of the features for use in calculating the derived feature. The system then applies a formula from the hierarchical representation to the subset of the features to produce the derived feature. Finally, the system provides the derived feature for use by one or more of the statistical models.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for analyzing a result of clustering massive data. An open-source map/reduce framework named Hadoop is used to calculate a silhouette coefficient corresponding to a significance verification index capable of evaluating a result of clustering massive data. To implement the system and the method for analyzing a result of clustering massive data, clustered data is divided into blocks. For all of the blocks, input splits are generated. Then, the generated input splits are assigned to multiple computers. Each computer stores only data of blocks included in an input split assigned in a memory, and calculates a silhouette coefficient for each record. Each computer provides only the calculated silhouette coefficient to an index coefficient calculation apparatus, and enables the index coefficient calculation apparatus to calculate a silhouette coefficient for a cluster. Therefore, the result of clustering the massive data can be rapidly and objectively analyzed.
