CYCLIC PREDICTIONS MACHINE

摘要

Determining the value of an item or event at a point in time or over a targeted period of time based on the values of the item over a past era. During the past era, data is obtained to represent the changes to the value during the era. This data is iteratively processed by: smoothing the curve, subtracting the smooth curve from the original curve to obtain a next level curve and repeating the process. After several iterations, a set of smoothed out curves are obtain and the projected time-wise to encompass the targeted time or period of time. Once projected, the curves are then combined together and the value at the targeted time or period of time can then be ascertained.

1. A method, under the control of a processing unit, for identifying the value of characteristics of an item at a point in time based on characteristic information representative of the item during a past era of time, the method comprising the actions of the processing unit:
receiving chart data representative of one or more characteristics of an item during a past era of time; iteratively extracting varying degrees of characteristic information from the chart data for n levels; for each degree of characteristic information, project the data to a different point in time; and iteratively combining the projected data to create new chart data representative of one or more characteristics of the item at a different point in time; and further comprising the action of invoking an action based at least in part on the value of the one or more characteristics at the different point in time.
