Abstract:
1. A system for generating a probability state model, the system comprising: a detector; and a computer operably connected to the detector, wherein the computer accesses one or more logic instructions for receiving raw data at the computer and generating a probability state model display of one or more parameters associated with the raw data, wherein the probability state model comprises one or more parameter profiles comprising a plurality of distribution points, and wherein each distribution point is mapped to a parameter, an event, an a state index, wherein the computer performs the steps of: a. storing one or more retrievable models in a memory portion in communication with the computer, wherein: b. receiving raw data for at least one parameter, wherein the raw data comprises a plurality of observed event measurements for the at least one parameter; c. applying each of the plurality of observed event measurements to one of the one or more retrievable models; d. calculating a probability weight for each state based on the probability that each of the plurality of observed event measurements coincides with the probability distribution curve for each of the one or more control definition points and/or intermediate definition points; e. creating a state selection vector for each of the plurality of observed event measurements based on the calculated probability weights for the progression of state index values; f. stochastically selecting a specific state index value from the state selection vector calculated in step d) based on the probability weights wherein the specific state index value selected determines the definition point associated with that state index value for each of the one or more parameters; g. incrementing a frequency counter representing the frequency that each of the control definition points and intermediate definition points are stochastically selected in step f) for each state index in the progression; h. displaying a parameter profile on a graphical user interface at a display terminal in communication with the computer, wherein the parameter profile comprises definition points for one or more events that are plotted against the progression of state index values, such that each state index value in a full progression of state index values is associated with a definition point; i. analyzing the frequencies of the control definition points and intermediate definition points throughout the progression for uniformity; j. moving the control definition points left and right and the intermediate definition points left, right up, and down along the parameter profile to produce uniform frequencies across the progression; and k. displaying said parameter profile on said graphical user interface in communication with the computer, wherein the plurality of observed event measurements for each of the one or more parameters are a function of state index.
