  • Patent number: 10891354
    Abstract: A method for performing responses based on time-series data includes receiving time-series data for each variable of a plurality of explanatory variables, determining a least common period for the plurality of explanatory variables, forming a plurality of explanatory variable groups using lags less than the least common period, determining one or more selected explanatory variable groups of the plurality of explanatory variable groups based on at least one information metric, receiving categorical data for a response variable corresponding to the plurality of explanatory variables, generating a response variable model using the selected explanatory variable groups, receiving additional time-series data corresponding to the selected explanatory variable groups, generating a categorization sequence for the additional time-series data using the response variable model, and performing one or more responses based on the categorization sequence.

  • Publication number: 20200394527
    Abstract: A prediction model can be created by reading an objective variable and a plurality of explanatory variables into a memory, and subsequently calculating a degree of influence of each of the plurality of explanatory variables on the objective variable. The determination of whether the two highest degrees of influence are approximate with each other or not can be performed. In the case that the two highest degrees of influence are approximate with each other, then a stepwise method can be carried out in order to select one explanatory variable among the plurality of explanatory variables. A prediction model can be subsequently created using the selected explanatory variable.
