Abstract:
1. An automated system for reducing inherent data loss associated with experimentation comprising: an automated experimentation platform (AEP) for automating one or more experimentation processes; a generalized exchange module (GEM) for automating data exchanges between said AEP and one or more target applications and for enabling the data exchanges to be generic with one or more attached components including any of instrumentation, device, software application or ICP; and a means for selectively predetermining study factors for said experimentation, wherein one or more unique surrogate response data sets are derived from said experimentation, wherein said one or more unique surrogate response data sets each have primary characteristics that include being numerically analyzable, being readily or directly obtainable when the inherent data loss occurs, being a response value for an experiment trial, and providing information on effects of changes made to said study factors.
