Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for real-time and computationally efficient calculation of a recommended value range for a quote variable, such as price, discount, volume, or closing time. The system uses the highest-density interval (HDI) of probability density function (PDF) as a recommended or suggested value range for a quote variable. PDFs for the quote variable are precomputed for groups of related inputs, and each PDF is summarized as an array of discrete points. A dimension reduction technique is applied to the PDF inputs in both the training and real-time (non-training) phases to reduce the number of possible combinations of PDFs. During a quote-creation process, a PDF look-up table enables the system to efficiently identify an applicable PDF from the group of precomputed PDFs based on reduced input values.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for creating and deploying prepackaged, predictive and prescriptive analytics modules for use with a quote-to-cash application. When deployed, the prepackaged analytics modules execute seamlessly, from the user's perspective, with the quote-to-cash application to provide predictions, recommendations, or other data-driven insights at one or more places in the quote-to-cash process. The modules are created by leveraging a pre-defined transactional data model that is native to the quote-to-cash application. A separate instance of the module is created for each customer that deploys a module. A customer's instance of the module is automatically retrained with the customer's own quote-to-cash data during the deployment phase by retrieving customer data matching metadata definitions predefined by the quote-to-cash application.
