SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TWO-TIERED QUESTIONNAIRE ANALYSIS

摘要

A system and method for using a two-tiered weighting algorithm for analyzing answers given for a particular questionnaire. In various awards shows, sporting events, or contests with categories and multiple candidates for winning various categories, users of the system may make a set of predictions for each category. The predictions may include predictions ranked according to the user's belief in likelihood of winning. Thus, the choice a user believes is most likely to win may be ranked in a first position, the choice the user believes to be the second most likely to win may be ranked in a second position and so on. Then, each category may be assigned a weighted value for the category as well as weighted values for positions in which the user predicted the winner. Thus, an overall two-tier weighted score for the set of predications may be calculated.

1. A computing system, comprising:
a computing device configured to receive a plurality of sets of predictions corresponding to a set of events, each predication in each set of predications including an ordering of a plurality of possible outcomes for each event in the set of events; and a ranking module configured to display, on a computing device display, a ranking of the sets of predictions based upon a weighting of each predication and a weighting of the ordering of each predication.
