  • Patent number: 11334809
    Abstract: A computing system receives as candidate predictors, for a model set, a list of terms for computer identification in dataset(s). The system receives initial user selections in the graphical user interface (GUI) of a term set, a response variable, and target value(s) for the response variable. The term set comprises candidate predictors from the list. The response variable is for a response to input to an initial model of the model set. The system generates the initial model that estimates a relationship between the target value(s) and the term set. The system displays in the GUI a performance representation of the initial model for user comparison of models and an indication of a contribution, to the initial model, of terms of a subset of the term set. The system receives a subsequent user selection, in the GUI, to change an aspect of the initial model.
