A method for predicting future responses from large sets of dyadic data includes measuring a dyadic response variable associated with a dyad from two different sets of data; measuring a vector of covariates that captures the characteristics of the dyad; determining one or more latent, unmeasured characteristics that are not determined by the vector of covariates and which induce local structures in a dyadic space defined by the two different sets of data; and modeling a predictive response of the measurements as a function of both the vector of covariates and the one or more latent characteristics, wherein modeling includes employing a combination of regression and matrix co-clustering techniques, and wherein the one or more latent characteristics provide a smoothing effect to the function that produces a more accurate and interpretable predictive model of the dyadic space that predicts future dyadic interaction based on the two different sets of data.

In accordance with the principles of the present invention, an apparatus, simulation method, and system for modeling loss in a term structured financial portfolio are provided. An historical date range, time unit specification, maturity duration, evaluation horizon, random effects specification, and set of portfolio covariates are selected. Historical data is then segmented into infinitely many cumulative loss curves according to a selected covariate predictive of risk. The s-shaped curves are modeled according to a nonlinear kernel. Nonlinear kernel parameters are regressed against time units up to the maturity duration and against selected portfolio covariates. The final regression equations represent the central moment models necessary for prior distribution specification in the hierarchical Bayes model to follow. Once the hierarchical Bayes model is executed, the finite samples generated by a Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs sampling routine enable the inference of net dollar loss estimation and corresponding variance. In turn, the posterior distributions enable the risk analysis corresponding to lifetime loss estimates for routine risk management, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, risk-based pricing for secondary markets or new debt obligations, optimal holdings, and regulatory capital requirements. Posterior distributions and analytical results are dynamically processed and shared with other computers in a global network configuration.

A method and system for accurately predicting the remaining useful life of devices and device components based on rigorous statistical analysis data to reduce service costs by implementing condition-based maintenance is disclosed. One such rigorous statistical model is the general degradation path model. The General Path Model is used to generate simulated data that shares similar data characteristics of historical field failure data. This generated data can be used in a reliability study based on Monte Carlo techniques for RUL prediction. The study can be used to investigate the effects of influential factors such as suspension percentage and heavy-tailed behavior. The remaining useful life prediction is based on both the fixed-time predictors (such as the market segment) and the time-dependent covariates (e.g., dark decay, printing rate, etc.). The Random Forest Model can also be used for accurately predicting remaining useful life based on both fixed-time predictors and time-dependent covariates, which are both contained in the field data of a component. A relationship between component failure and amount of degradation makes it possible to use degradation models for accurate predictions of failure time.

Dependent variables believed to contribute to a likelihood of falling are analyzed using a latent class analysis. The dependent variables are biomedical factors, which may include, for example, arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, foot disorders, Parkinson's Disease, stroke, eye disorder, limb disorder, or proprioceptive disorder. Data pertaining to the biomedical factors is gathered from a population of individuals at risk of falling. Covariate data, including for example age and the number of prescriptions taken, is further analyzed against latent class data. For a particular group of at risk individuals, a set of five classes produced useful results broadly corresponding to groups representing individuals who have: good health; a range of diseases; Parkinson's Disease; arthritis; and high blood pressure. A probability of falling is determined, relative to the group of individuals with good health.

Provided is an automated process for producing accurate statistical models from sample data tables. The process solves for the optimal parameters of each statistical model considered, computes test statistics and degrees of freedom in the model, and uses these test statistics and degrees of freedom to establish a complete ordering of the statistical models. In cases where the sample data table is sufficiently small, the process constructs and analyzes all reasonable statistical models that might fit the data table provided. In cases where the number of possible models is prohibitively high, the process begins by constructing and solving more general models and then constructs and solves those more detailed models that are similar to those general models that achieved the highest ordering. In either of these two cases, the process arrives at a statistical model that is highest in the ordering and is thus deemed most suitable to model the sample data table. The result of this process is a statistical model deemed to be most suitable to model the sample data table and a set of average table values produced by this resulting model. This resulting table may include modeled values for table entries for which no initial data was supplied. This invention finds application in the area of credit scoring, where covariates such as age, profession, gender, and credit history are used to determine the likelihood that an individual will default on a loan. It also finds application in analyzing the effectiveness of many types of tools as they are used in various environments (e.g., the effectiveness of radar when used in different weather conditions). It also finds application in the area of insurance, where one wishes to estimate the future number of claims against a specific insurance policy based on a database of past insurance claims.
