Abstract
An editing process for an explanatory model includes a step for producing the explanatory model in the form of a set of rules. The rules are represented by logical combinations of elementary premises, each elementary premise including a restriction of the field of the variable. The rules are also represented by a logical combination of elementary conclusions, each elementary conclusion also including a restriction of the field of a variable. The process also includes a step for modifying at least a part of the initial rules, to determine a new explanatory model. The step for modifying the rules includes modifying the restrictions of the field of the variables, and calculating the quality indicators for the rule by applying the modified set of rules to a data source called the examples basis.
Claims19
Editing process for an explanatory model comprising:
- a step for producing the explanatory model in the form of a set of rules, the said rules being represented by:
- logical combinations of elementary premises, each elementary premise consisting of a restriction of the field of the variable,
- and a logical combination of elementary conclusions, each elementary conclusion also consisting of a restriction of the field of a variable.
- the process comprising moreover a step for modifying at least a part of the initial rules, to determine a new explanatory model characterised in that the step for modifying the rules consists of:
- modifying the restrictions of the field of the said variables,
- and calculating the quality indicators for the rule by applying the modified set of rules to a data source called the examples basis.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that the said quality indicators are defined by the user by means of a graphical interface.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises an operation for improving the a rule consisting of maximising one or more quality indicators by the optimal determination of the field of variation of one of the variables of the premises of the said rule.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises an operation for improving a rule consisting of maximising one or more quality indicators by the optimal determination of the field of variation of one of the variables of the premises of the said rule.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises an operation for improving a rule consisting of adding at least an additional premise in the aim of maximising one or more quality indicators by the optimal determination of the field of variation of the variables of the premises of the said rule.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises a rule enhancement operation consisting of eliminating at least premise of the said rule in the aim of maximising one or more quality indicators by the optimal determination of the field of variation of the variables of the premises of the said rule.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises a visualisation step of a graphical representation of the field of variation of the variables, and graphical symbols representative of the data of the reference source and the result of the application of the rule to the examples basis, and a modification step for the filed of the variables by graphical positioning of the markers commanded by actuation on a peripheral pointing device.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises a visualisation step of a graphical representation of the field of the space composed by the projection of the quality and positioning indicators in the said space of graphical symbols representative of the rules according to the indicators corresponding to each of the rules.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises among others means of selection and visualisation of one of the said rules with the aid of a peripheral pointing device.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that it comprises among others a step for constructing an additional rule by the graphical representation of a set of rules and the calculation of an additional rule resulting from a uniting combination of several rules.
Editing process for an explanatory model of any of the previous claims, characterised in that the fields of variation of the variables appearing as a premise of a first rule are viewed in the form of histograms.
