Abstract

The invention concerns a method for determining competing risks for objects following an initial event based on previously measured or otherwise objectifiable training data patterns, in which several signals obtained from a learning capable system are combined in an objective function in such a way that said learning capable system is rendered capable of detecting or forecasting the underlying probabilities of each of the said competing risks.
