Abstract
Methods and apparatus for predicting unknown values given a data set of known values. A prediction engine ingests a variety of data sets. Once the dataset has been ingested, requests for predictions may be presented to the prediction engine. The engine responds with a prediction as well as a confidence score based on the ingested information using a variety of techniques. Some of these techniques identify witness values in the ingested data that are similar to the requested prediction, other techniques compute witness values from ingested data, etc. These witness values are aggregated to yield an answer and a confidence level in a way that permits the user to review the underlying witness values.
