  • Optimized parametric modeling system and method
    Patent number: 7136788
    Abstract: A system for enabling optimization of a parametric modeling process. The system includes a processor and an interface that allows at least one user input. Additionally, the system includes a regression analysis tree program that is executable by the processor. Upon execution by the processor, the regression analysis tree program operates to build a tree in accordance with the at least one user input by using a modified forward stepwise regression process to select the attributes for the tree's branches from a plurality of attributes. After the tree is built, the regression analysis tree program then performs regression analysis to calculate at least one regression result for an attribute subset in a tree branch when the tree branch is in compliance with at least one criterion and the attribute subset has not been previously analyzed.
