Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform processing comprising:
identifying a plurality of data sets subject to upcoming update processing in a next update cycle, the next update cycle comprising a plurality of calendar dates;
performing prediction processing for each data set of the plurality of data sets, the prediction processing comprising:
identifying a calendar date on which a most recent update processing for the data set occurred,
determining that at least one day since the most recent update processing for the data set occurred is designated a last day of a month,
calculating, for the at least one day, a first daily probability that data included in the data set changed on the at least one day based on the at least one day being designated the last day of the month,
calculating, for at least each respective day since the most recent update processing other than the at least one day, a second daily probability that data included in the data set changed on the respective day based on the calendar date of the respective day,
calculating an overall probability that data included in the data set has changed since the most recent update processing based on each first daily probability and second daily probability, and
assigning the data set to a first subset of the plurality of data sets in response to the overall probability of the data set being below a threshold value;

excluding the first subset of the plurality of data sets from update processing in the next update cycle until the respective overall probabilities are calculated again in a subsequent update cycle; and
performing the upcoming update processing on the plurality of the data sets not included in the first subset, the upcoming update processing including scraping updated data from at least one external data source.
