US Patent 8370280 Combining predictive models in predictive analytical modeling

A method can include the actions of: receiving a feature vector, the feature vector including one or more elements; identifying an element type for each of the one or more elements; selecting, from a set of predictive models, a subset of one or more predictive models based on the element types and one or more performance indicators associated with each predictive model in the set of predictive models; processing the feature vector using the subset of predictive models, each predictive model of the subset of predictive models generating an output based on the feature vector to provide a plurality of outputs; and generating a final output based on the plurality of outputs. Other embodiments may include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products for executing the method.
