System and Method for Generating Greedy Reason Codes for Computer Models

A method for generating greedy reason codes for computer models comprising:

• receiving and processing, by a computer system, a computer model of a set of data, said computer model having at least one record scored by the model;
• identifying, by a greedy reason code generation engine stored on and executed by the computer system, reason code variables that explain why a record of the model is scored high by the model;
• and
• building by the greedy reason code generation engine an approximate model to simulate a likelihood of a high score being generated by at least one of the reason code variables identified by the engine.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform the steps of:

• receiving and processing, by the computer system, a computer model of a set of data, said computer model having at least one record scored by the model;
• identifying, by a greedy reason code generation engine stored on and executed by the computer system, reason code variables that explain why a record of the model is scored high by the model;
• and
• building by the greedy reason code generation engine an approximate model to simulate a likelihood of a high score being generated by at least one of the reason code variables identified by the engine.
