Patent ID: 8521668

Claim:
A method of reconstructing a causation process from time varying data describing an event, wherein the data consist in a certain number of entities each one having a position in a space, and each one of the entities is characterized by at least a quantity or value relatively to at least one feature and in the quantity or value relatively to at least one of the features of the entities at least at two different times or at each time instant of a sequence of time instants; the method describing the higher likelihood transition of all entities i, j from the time n to the time n+1 as a function of the position coordinate of the entity I and of the entity j and the quantity of the at least one feature of the entity I and of the entity j at the time n and at the time n+1: M i,j [n,n+1] =ψ( x i ,y i ,q i [n] ,q i [n+1] ,x j ,y j ,q j [n] ,q j [n+1] ). the function determining the strength of the connection between each entity i at time n and each other entity j at time n+1; and the method determining the source causing changes in quantity of the entity j from the time n to the time n+1 as the entity i for which the strength of connection is a maximum.
