(2011) Process for determining a confidence factor
for insurance underwriting suitable for use by an automated system, P. Bonissone,
W. Cheetham, US Patent 8,005,693, (August
23, 2011) A process is described for evaluating the
decision-making confidence of a process and system for at least a partial
underwriting of insurance policies where placement of an insurance
application to an underwriting category is based on its similarity to
previous insurance applications. The confidence factor computed is a measure
of the correctness of the decision for a given application for insurance.
(2010) System for determining a confidence factor
for insurance underwriting suitable for use by an automated system, P. Bonissone,
W. Cheetham, US Patent 7,818,186, (October
19, 2010) A system is described for evaluating the
decision-making confidence of a process and system for at least a partial
underwriting of insurance policies where placement of an insurance
application to an underwriting category is based on its similarity to
previous insurance applications. The confidence factor computed is a measure
of the correctness of the decision for a given application for insurance.
(2009) Systems
for case-based insurance underwriting suitable for use by an automated system,
P. Bonissone, S. Bollapragada, K. Chalermkraivuth, N. Eklund, N. Iyer, R.
Subbu, US Patent
7,630,910 (Dec 8, 2009) A system
for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. Based
on the similarity to previous insurance applications, a decision on the
current request for underwriting may be made. This decision-making process
represents an analogical approach to the placement of an insurance
application to an underwriting category, whereby a given insurance
application request is compared to previous requests.
(2009) Method and system for
forecasting reliability of assets, (156003-1), P. Bonissone, K. Aggour, A. Varma, US Patent No. 7,509,235, (March 24, 2009). A
method and system of forecasting reliability of an asset is provided. The method
includes identifying peer units of the asset by using selected criteria,
performing a search for the peer units based upon the selected criteria, and
constructing local predictive models using the peer units. The method also
includes estimating the future behavior of the asset based upon the local
predictive models and dynamically updating the local predictive models to
reflect at least one change in the criteria.
(2001) Method for Estimating the Value of
Real Property, W. Cheetham, P. Bonissone, US Patent No.
6,178,406 (Jan. 23, 2001) A method for estimating the price of real
property such as a single family residence. A set of real estate properties
comparable to the subject property is retrieved. The comparable properties
and the subject property are characterized by a plurality of common
attributes each having a respective value. Each attribute value from the
comparable properties are evaluated to the same attribute value of the subject
property on a fuzzy preference scale indicating desirable and tolerable
deviations from an ideal match with the subject property. A measurement of
similarity between each comparable property and the subject property is then
determined. Next, the price of the comparable properties
are adjusted to the value of the subject property and the best
properties are extracted for further consideration. The extracted comparable
properties are then aggregated into an estimate price of the subject
property.
(2000) Method
for Estimating the Price per Square Foot Value of Real Property, P. Bonissone, W.
Cheetham, US Patent No. 6,141,648 (Oct. 31, 2000) A computer-implemented method for estimating a dollar per square foot value of a subject property. A set of properties comparable to the subject property are retrieved. The comparable properties are characterized by a plurality of common attributes each having a respective value. The plurality of common attributes includes distance from the subject property, sale price, and living area. The distance of the comparable properties to the subject property are rated on a fuzzy preference scale indicating desirable and tolerable deviations from an ideal match with the subject property. Each evaluation generates a weighted preference. The sale price and the living area from each of the comparable properties are then aggregated with the weighted preference for that comparable into a dollar per square foot estimate of the subject property.
(2008) System And Method For Equipment Life
Estimation, P. Bonissone, F. Xue, A. Varma, K. Goebel, W. Yan, N.
Eklund, filed A method to
predict remaining life of a target is disclosed. The method includes
receiving information regarding a behavior of the target, and identifying
from a database at least one piece of equipment having similarities to the
target. The method further includes retrieving from the database data prior
to an end of the equipment useful life, the data having a relationship to the
behavior, evaluating a similarity of the relationship, predicting the
remaining life of the target based upon the similarity, and generating a
signal corresponding to the predicted remaining equipment life.
(2003) Process for case-based insurance
underwriting suitable for use by an automated system, P. Bonissone, R. Messmer,
D. Yang, M. Pavese, A. Patterson, A. Mogro-Campero, A. Varma, M. Durham, D.
Russell, R. Subbu, PUB_20030187697
filed A system
for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. Based
on the similarity to previous insurance applications, a decision on the
current request for underwriting may be made. This decision-making process
represents an analogical approach to the placement of an insurance
application to an underwriting category, whereby a given insurance
application request is compared to previous requests. |
