  • Patent number: 11194940
    Abstract: A computing system determines a design space for designing a design system. The computing system receives a request to identify input(s) that will provide a response of the design system that advances a user-defined goal for the design system. The computing system, responsive to the request to identify input(s), generates a design for the design space that provides design cases for generating the response of the design system and obtains responses of the design system generated for multiple design cases of the design for the design system. The computing system selects at least one design case based on obtained responses of the design system for the multiple design cases, and based on the at least one design case, outputs an indication of suggested input(s) for the design system. The suggested input(s) advances the user-defined goal for the design system and is not disallowed according to disallowed combination(s).

  • Patent number: 10963804
    Abstract: Graphical interactive prediction evaluation is provided. An extrapolation threshold value is computed using an extrapolation threshold function with an explanatory variable value of each of a plurality of explanatory variables read for each observation vector of a plurality of observation vectors. A model is fit to the observation vectors. Model results are presented in a display that include a first value for each explanatory variable. An indicator of a second value of at least one of the explanatory variables that is different from the first value is received. An extrapolation value is computed using an extrapolation function with the second value and the first value of others of the explanatory variables. The extrapolation value is compared to the extrapolation threshold value. An extrapolation indicator is presented in the display when the comparison indicates that the second value is an extrapolation.
