Abstract:
1. A computational system comprising: storage coupled to a processor comprising a configuration script accessible by a modeling module, a prediction module, and a prescription module, the configuration script when executed by the processor is to identify a set of influencers, a set of performance indicators, at least two model types associated with the modeling module, a model type selection criteria, a prediction time, and a prescription algorithm, wherein, in response to execution by the processor, a select model type of the at least two model types is selected based on the model type selection criteria for use by the modeling module; the modeling module that when executed by the processor is to access the configuration script and to receive data associated with the set of influencers and data associated with the set of performance indicators and to derive a model of the select model type associating the set of the influencers with the set of performance indicators based on the set of performance indicators, the set of influences and the select model type identified in the configuration script; the prediction module that when executed by the processor is to access the configuration script and is communicatively coupled to the modeling module to receive the model associating the set of influencers with the set of performance indicators, the prediction module when executed by the processor is to provide future indicator values associated with the set of performance indicators at the prediction time based on a set of influencer values associated with the set of influencers based on the prediction time identified in the configuration script, the set of influencer values including a set of present influencer values associated with the set of influencers and including a projected set of future influencer values associated with the set of influencers; and the prescription module that when executed by the processor is to access the configuration script and is communicatively coupled to the prediction module to receive the future indicator values associated with the set of performance indicators and the set of influencer values associated with the set of influencers, the prescription module when executed by the processor is to prescribe a set of prescribed actions based on the prescription algorithm identified in the configuration script.
