<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system (30) for detecting business behavioral patterns related to a business entity. <P>SOLUTION: A model for business behavioral patterns in which the likelihood of a particular business behavioral pattern is associated with the occurrence of a qualitative event and a quantitative metric is determined. A first data set representing the occurrence of the qualitative event (34) is extracted from a first data source (32) and a second data set representing the quantitative metric (38) associated with the business entity is extracted from a second data source (36). Then a first confidence attribute and a first temporal attribute associated with the qualitative event (34), a second confidence attribute and a second temporal attribute associated with the quantitative metric (38) are determined. Finally, the likelihood of the particular business behavior pattern is evaluated by running the model based on the first data set, the second data set, the first confidence attribute, the first temporal attribute, the second confidence attribute and the second temporal attribute. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
