20090030662 | System And Method For Non-Linear Modeling - A computer-implemented system and method of non-linear modeling in a computer system having a limited precision processor is provided. A non-linear model is initialized by forming an objective function having one or more functional components and a marginal variance matrix. The model is then iteratively solved using the computer processor until it has converged to a feasible solution. In doing so, the feasibility of computing the objective function is evaluated by determining if the marginal variance matrix is positive definite, thereby indicating whether or not the computer processor is capable of calculating a feasible solution to the non-linear model. If the marginal variance matrix is positive definite, then the objective function and its gradient are computed using the marginal variance matrix. If the marginal variance matrix is not positive definite, then a surrogate marginal variance matrix is constructed that is positive definite and a surrogate objective function is constructed having components continuous first derivatives. The surrogate objective function and its gradient are then computed using the surrogate marginal variance matrix. | 01-29-2009 |

20150081735 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAST IDENTIFICATION OF VARIABLE ROLES DURING INITIAL DATA EXPLORATION - Systems and methods are provided for identifying data variable roles during initial data exploration. A variable type, unique data value count values, and an overflow count value are determined for a variable. The unique data value count values include a number of occurrences of each of a plurality of unique data values for the variable in a data set. The overflow count value is a number of occurrences of data values other than the plurality of unique data values for the variable in the data set. When a number of the plurality of unique data values is greater than a value for a high cardinality threshold, the variable is determined to be a high cardinality variable. When the variable is not determined to be the high cardinality variable, a class variable role is assigned to the variable. When the variable is determined to be the high cardinality variable, Whether or not the variable is a numeric variable type is determined based on the determined variable type. When the variable is determined to not be the numeric variable type, the overflow count value is compared to the unique data value count values to determine whether or not rare visible values occurred for the variable. When the determination is that rare visible values occurred for the variable, a record identifier variable role is assigned to the variable. | 03-19-2015 |

20130024118 | System and Method for Identifying Patterns in and/or Predicting Extreme Climate Events - A method and system are provided for medium-range probabilistic prediction of extreme temperature events. Extreme temperatures are measured according to how local temperature thresholds are exceeded on daily timescales to generate a local “Magnitude Index” (MI). A regional MI reflecting the historic temperature intensity, duration and spatial extent of extreme temperature events over all locations within the region is then computed. The regional MI is used to create a synoptic catalog for each of one or more pre-defined weather variables by testing the significance of leading modes in historic atmospheric variability across specified periods of time. Current or recent weather conditions are compared against the synoptic catalog to generate probabilistic predictions of extreme temperature events based the presence of synoptic precursors identified in historic patterns. | 01-24-2013 |
