Abstract
A Value Analyzer system is a data-driven computer-facilitated financial model that provides accurate and consistent profitability calculations using account and event data stored in a relational database managed by a relational database management system (RDBMS), wherein the account data comprises attributes of the accounts being measured and the event data comprises attributes of account-related transactions. A selector function uses selection criteria to select accounts and events from the relational database in order to generate a number of inputs for profitability calculations.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method of performing financial processing, comprising:
- (a) selecting accounts and events from a database through a selector function performed by a computer, wherein the selector function is programmed to use event thresholding to select the accounts from the database based on a threshold test for related events selected from the database;
- and
- (b) performing one or more profitability calculations in the computer using attributes of the accounts and events selected from the database.
A system for performing financial processing, comprising:
- one or more computers;
- logic, performed by the computers, for:
- (a) selecting accounts and events from a database through a selector function, wherein the selector function is programmed to use event thresholding to select the accounts from the database based on a threshold test for related events selected from the database;
- and
- (b) performing one or more profitability calculations using attributes of the accounts and events selected from the database.
An article of manufacture comprising a storage device embodying instructions that, when read and executed by a computer, result in the computer performing a method of financial processing, comprising:
- (a) selecting accounts and events from a database through a selector function performed by a computer, wherein the selector function is programmed to use event thresholding to select the accounts from the database based on a threshold test for related events selected from the database;
- and
- (b) performing one or more profitability calculations in the computer using attributes of the accounts and events selected from the database.
