Patent ID: 8065250

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for causing a computer system to process data according to a predictive modeling system, the predictive modeling system comprising: a plurality of artificial agents responsive to an input data set, wherein: at least one artificial agent comprises a predictive algorithm; the input data set comprises at least one intake data set and at least one outcome data set, wherein: a first intake data set corresponds to a set of factors for a first cohort at an initial state in time; and a first outcome data set corresponds to a change in the set of factors for the first cohort after a passage of time; each artificial agent produces a correlation data set relating at least a portion of the first outcome data set with at least a portion of the first intake data set for predicting a future change to a second cohort over a second passage of time based on a second intake data set corresponding to a second set of factors for the second cohort at a second initial state in time; and each artificial agent produces a predictability value for quantifying an accuracy of the correlation data set produced by the artificial agent; and an agent factory responsive to the input data set, wherein the agent factory produces the plurality of artificial agents in response to the input data set.
