Patent ID: 7643969

Claim:
A machine-readable medium or media having instructions recorded thereon that when executed by a processor: (a) input a regression model specification related to providing predictions regarding the outcome for a patient of a medical treatment; (b) repeat (a) a plurality of times to obtain and store a plurality of the regression model specifications; (c) when a plurality of the stored regression model specifications are selected for use, analyze the selected regression model specifications to determine at least one of common variables and functions of common variables, to thereby determine a reduced-redundancy request for input of variables; (d) output a user interface for display, the user interface including a plurality of fields to receive patient parameters corresponding to the reduced redundancy request for input of variables; output for display a set of stored regression model specifications; accept a selection of the displayed regression model specifications for use; output for display a reduced-redundancy user interface that requests a user to provide input of variables for the selected regression model specifications; accept input values for the variables requested; and use the accepted input values to determine and provide for display results of the selected stored regression model specifications.
