Abstract:
1. A computer implemented system for aggregating and segmenting probabilistic distributions in real time comprising the steps of: an input device for creating a target profile from the input of one or more users using stated preferences or expectations relative to data about which probabilistic distributions exist; a computer program for simulating the future behavior of the target profile or comparative profiles with historical data; a second computer program for identifying substitute profiles that match or improve upon the target profile or comparative profiles; a third computer program for modifying a target profile or comparative profiles by selectively adding, eliminating, or changing particular probabilistic distribution characteristics in response to user-defined parameters or movements of an interactive user operated control; a fourth computer program for codifying any discrepancies between a target profile and comparative profiles; a fifth computer program for sensing and tracking single or multiple probabilistic distributions; a sixth computer program for sensing and tracking multiple segments of a single aggregate probabilistic distribution; and a display for generating results in a continual manner so that immediate feedback is displayed to the user as a discrepancy indicator wherein the step of codifying any discrepancies between a target profile and a comparative profile further comprises the step of calculating such discrepancies according to the following formula: where E[X where respective values are weighted per user specifications and where the sum of weights is required to total one hundred percent.
