  • Patent number: 8401950
    Abstract: A decision model is applied to a set of current data from a mortgage portfolio to generate a first portfolio metric. The decision model is formed from a network of a plurality of predictive models that are trained on historical data derived from a plurality of mortgage account profiles for a plurality of mortgages within the mortgage portfolio. One or more of the predictive models is an action-based predictive model allowing modification of at least one attribute affecting performance of the mortgage portfolio. One or more of the attributes can be modified and a second portfolio metric can then be optimized, using the decision model, in light of at least one constraint (which can be user-defined). Related techniques, apparatus, systems, and articles are described.
