  • System and method for optimization of a database for the training and testing of prediction algorithms
    Patent number: 7711662
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for the training and testing of prediction algorithms. According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention the method generates optimum training, testing and/or validation data sets from a common general database by applying a genetic algorithm to populations of testing and training subsets used in connection with a given prediction algorithm. In exemplary embodiments the prediction algorithm operated upon is an artificial neural network. As well, in preferred exemplary embodiments, the most predictive independent variables of the records of the common database are automatically selected in a pre-processing phase.
