Storage Of Stochastic Information In Stochastic Information Systems
US Patent:
8463732, Jun 11, 2013
Filed:
Jan 5, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/318644
Inventors:
Sam L. Savage - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06N 5/02, G06F 17/10
US Classification:
706 52
Abstract:
A stochastic information system stores a coherent stochastic model corresponding to an uncertain variable in a data store. The coherent stochastic model is stored in a compressed format. The stochastic information system includes a calculation engine operable to calculate a result by performing a simulation using the coherent stochastic model. In some implementations, the stochastic data is encoded and stored as a single element, such as, for example, a string. The stochastic data may be encoded using a quantizer, which may be configured to exploit gaps in the stochastic data. A method includes receiving stochastic information including values for a plurality of trials for use in a stochastic information system, encoding the stochastic information as a string representing the values for the plurality of trials, and storing the encoded stochastic information for use by the stochastic information system.
Utilization And Distribution Of Stochastic Data
US Patent:
8255332, Aug 28, 2012
Filed:
Feb 2, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/346071
Inventors:
Sam L. Savage - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 21/00
US Classification:
705 50, 705 4, 705 38
Abstract:
A certified distribution stored on a computer-readable medium for use in a stochastic information system includes stochastic data providing a series of trials for at least one uncertain variable such that the series of trials maintains the relationship between the trials of each of the at least one uncertain variable, and a digital imprimatur associated with the stochastic data to certify the stochastic data. A distribution database includes a database stored on a computer-readable medium and a communications interface operable to receive a database query, to determine a result set of the at least one stochastic models satisfying the database query, and to respond to the database query. The database includes at least one stochastic model providing a series of trials for at least one uncertain variable such that the series of trials maintains the relationship between the trials of each of the at least one uncertain variable.
