  • Generating a prediction function using a genetic algorithm and a reduced number of factors
    Patent number: 10885443
    Abstract: A system to reduce the number of factors that need to be considered in generating a prediction function includes an access module and a function generator module. The access module accesses a reduced set of factors derived from an original set of factors based at least in part on correlations between the factors of the original set. The function generator module generates, based on the reduced set of factors and a data set associated therewith, a plurality of potential prediction functions that operate on the data set to predict a result, evaluates performance of each one from the plurality of potential prediction functions, and selects a solution prediction function based on the evaluated.

  • GENERATING A PREDICTION FUNCTION USING A GENETIC ALGORITHM AND A REDUCED NUMBER OF FACTORS
    Publication number: 20160239744
    Abstract: Methods and systems to reduce the number of factors or variables that need to be considered in generating a function such as a prediction function. The methods and systems may involve receiving a first set of factors and a data set associated with the first set of factors, calculating an importance value of each factor in the first set of factors, and selecting, based on the importance values, a second set of factors. In some embodiments, the methods and systems also include generating the prediction function based on the data set and the second set of factors.
