Computer-supported methods and systems are disclosed for determining a characteristic function from a matrix that contains a defined number of data records having classifiable features. The matrix may be processed and then the characteristic function may be calculated by taking into account the processed matrix. Processing of the matrix may include one or more processing steps, such as enrichment of the matrix with classes for the features and/or compression according to the classes. Further, such methods and systems may be controlled by the interpretation of a predetermined scheme. The predetermined scheme may define the sequence of individual executions for the processing the matrix (including enrichment and compression) and the rules for the particular individual executions.
A method of data processing with a program-controlled processor for determining a characteristic function from a matrix with a defined number of data records having classifiable features, wherein the method comprises processing the matrix, and calculating the characteristic function based on the processed matrix, and wherein processing includes enriching the matrix with classes for the features while retaining the number of data records and compressing according to the classes with a reduction in the number of data records, and further wherein the method additionally comprises interpreting a predetermined scheme in which a sequence of the individual executions for enrichment and compression, and rules for the particular individual executions are defined.
A computer program product with computer-readable program instructions for a processor, the computer program product for determining a characteristic function from a matrix with a defined number of data records having classifiable features, wherein the computer program product comprises instructions for processing the matrix and instructions for calculating the characteristic function based on the processed matrix, and wherein processing includes enriching the matrix with classes for the features while retaining the number of data records, and compressing according to the classes with a reduction in the number of data records, and further wherein the computer program product additionally comprises instructions for interpreting a predetermined scheme in which a sequence of the individual executions for enrichment and compression, and rules for the particular individual executions are defined.
