20090198641 | System and method for forecasting real-world occurrences - A method of predicting the occurrence of crime is provided, where information relating to prior transactions is provided, and where each transaction is a past incident where law enforcement units were involved. A set of analysis parameters relating to details associated with the incident may be selected and conditions associated with respective analysis parameters are selected. Further, at least one pivot variable may be selected, each pivot variable corresponding to one or more analysis parameters, and a frequency of the occurrence of the past incidents in relation to the pivot variables may be computed. Thus, a probability of a future incident occurring may be determined based on existence of a condition related to the pivot variable. | 08-06-2009 |
