Abstract:
A system and method for evaluating various decision opportunities faced by a person, where the person has the opportunity to take different actions over time, where the state of affairs in each time period and the action taken affect the reward or benefits received by the person at that time and the action is likely to affect the state of affairs in the next time period.

Claim (Index 8):
In a system employing a sequential decision making model using a user input interface, a user output device; and a processor that (A) facilitates input of information regarding (i) type of decision to be made, (ii) possible actions that can be taken, (iii) possible outcomes; (iv) a reward associated with an outcome, (v) a discount rate and a growth rate, and (vi) a time index that establishes ordering of events, (B) generates elements for a functional equation, including (i) a set of states that describe possible outcomes, (ii) a set of possible actions, (iii) a transition probability function representative of the likelihood of a particular state occurring at a future time based on the current state and a particular action, (iv) a reward function representative of the benefits and costs associated with each possible combination of state and action; (v) a discount factor determined from the growth rate and the discount rate, and (vi) time index that established a sequential ordering of events, characterized in that a convergence check on the input information is performed to determine whether a solvable functional equation can be formulated, and, if a solvable functional equation can be formulated, formulating a functional equation, solving the functional equation and presenting decision making advice based on the solution to the functional equation, and if a solvable functional equation cannot be formulated, requesting additional input.
