Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more computing devices for determining optimal combinations of elements having multiple dimensions, the method comprising: implementing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a Magnitude Classification Model (MCM) that provides a plurality of MCM magnitude classifications corresponding to a plurality of distribution intervals; assigning, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, for each of a plurality of continuous values for a plurality of dimensions, each individual continuous value to one of the plurality of MCM magnitude classifications based on which of the plurality of distribution intervals includes the individual continuous value; generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a combination matrix having a plurality of elements corresponding to the plurality of MCM magnitude classifications, the elements being presented in the combination matrix in a sorted combinational order, the sorted combinational order having element values descending from a first end of the combination matrix to a second end of the combination matrix; removing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, each element assigned to the highest MCM magnitude classification and incrementing a count of packed combinations for each element removed; resizing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the combination matrix to fit the remaining elements; and iteratively combining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the remaining elements within the combination matrix to determine the optimal combination of the remaining elements.
