  • Publication number: 20220374325
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach builds a combination model that includes a normal status model and an abnormal status model. The normal status model is built from a set of time-sequenced normal status records and the abnormal status model is built from a set of time-sequenced abnormal status records. The approach computes a set of time-sequenced coefficient combination values of the normal status model and the abnormal status model based on applying a set of fitting coefficient characteristics to the normal status model and the abnormal status model. The approach performs goal seek analysis on a system using the combination model and the set of time-sequenced coefficient combination values.

  • Publication number: 20220327418
    Abstract: Feature importance is critical to understanding how predictive models produce accurate results, and can change significantly for different models. The present invention is used to achieve a good ranking for stable feature importance. An optimized technique is presented which considers feature importance value variation within different groups of cross-trained models. Feature importance is computed for all group models with this optimized method, and then a best set of models can be selected based on classification error as well as optimized stable feature importance values.

  • Publication number: 20220245483
    Abstract: A method for identifying influential effects that contribute most to a status change of a target index for goal seeking analysis. The method includes generating a candidate list of significant changed predictors between the normal and abnormal status time periods in collected data, and building a plurality of regression models from the collected data. The method determines a first value (trend value or Pearson correlation value) for each of the significant changed predictors based on whether at least one of the significant changed predictors have a significant change trend using the regression models. The method obtains a second predictor importance value for each of the significant changed predictors from a single model built on all the collected data. The method generates a final predictor value for each of the significant changed predictors by combining the first value with the second predictor importance value for each of the significant changed predictors.
