Abstract

A system (10) for generating dependent data (132) includes a database (16) having at least a first dimension (50, 70, 122). The database (16) contains a mapping (106) comprising a source member (54) in the first dimension (50, 70, 122) and a target member (54) in the first dimension (50, 70, 122). The database (16) also contains an attach rate (120) that relates independent data (112) associated with the source member (54) to dependent data (132) associated with the target member (54). A server (12) coupled to the database (16) accesses the mapping (106) and applies the attach rate (120) to the independent data (112) for the source member (54) to generate the dependent data (132) for the target member (54).
