Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to providing methods executed on a computer and computer-based apparatus, including computer program products, for probabilistic prediction. Specifically, various exemplary embodiments relate to providing probabilistic prediction of an applicant's acceptance by an institution.
Claims11
A computerized-method for generating a probabilistic prediction of an applicant's acceptance by a selective institution, the method comprising:
- collecting, by a computing device, quantitative or qualitative data from the applicant;
- comparing, by the computing device, data from the applicant with statistical quantitative data associated with previous applicants accepted by the institution;
- comparing, by the computing device, data from the applicant with statistical converted qualitative data associated with previous applicants accepted by the institution;
- comparing, by the computing device, data from the applicant with statistical quantitative data associated with previous applicants rejected by the institution;
- comparing, by the computing device, quantitative data from the applicant with statistical converted qualitative data associated with previous applicants rejected by the institution;
- generating, by the computing device, a probability of acceptance based on the comparisons;
- and
- displaying, by the computing device, the probability of acceptance as a probabilistic prediction to the user.
5 more elements
A system for generating a probabilistic prediction of an applicant's acceptance by a selective institution comprising:
- a database that stores an institutional predictive model for the selective institution, the institutional predictive model comprising:
- statistical quantitative data associated with previous applicants accepted by the institution;
- statistical converted qualitative data associated with previous applicants accepted by the institution;
- statistical quantitative data associated with previous applicants rejected by the institution;
- and
- statistical converted qualitative data associated with previous applicants rejected by the institution;
- an applicant computing device that collects quantitative or qualitative data from the applicant;
- and
- a predictive server connected to the database and connected to the applicant computing device, wherein the predictive server:
- compares any quantitative data from the applicant with statistical quantitative data associated with previous applicants accepted by the institution;
- compares any quantitative data from the applicant with statistical converted qualitative data associated with previous applicants accepted by the institution;
- compares any quantitative data from the applicant with statistical quantitative data associated with previous applicants rejected by the institution;
- and
- compares any quantitative data from the applicant with statistical converted qualitative data associated with previous applicants rejected by the institution;
- generates a probability of acceptance based on the comparisons;
- and
- a display device for presenting the probability of acceptance as the probabilistic prediction to the user.
