Patent ID: 8301675

Claim:
A computer system for assisting prediction, comprising: a memory for storing a chronological set of M numerical values of abscissas (x −M+1 , X −M+2 , . . . , x −1 , x 0 ); and an analyzer for executing data treatments on the chronological set of values for detecting tendencies, wherein the analyzer comprises: a regression calculator for calculating a regression of a chosen order D, equal or greater than 1, on a part of given length of the chronological set of values, from which a particular point of a regression curve is memorized, wherein the regression calculator is configured to iteratively repeat the regression calculation by shifting the part of the chronological set of values, wherein points obtained from the iterative regression calculation together form a curve, a controller configured to repeatedly call up the regression calculator, and change the length of the shifted part according to a series (p 1 , p 2 , . . . , p N ), the series being such that a corresponding network of curves contains at least 20 curves and has a uniform density on average.
