DecisionExpert Forecaster

Reduct & Lobbe

Predicts outcomes for new data and automates decision-making using approximate reasoning technology. It predicts outcomes, based on real-time or historical data, and knowledge rules derived by other components of the REDUCT Decision Suite (RDS). It also incorporates human expert rules into the decision-making, finds the best rules or patterns, and predicts both numeric and symbolic outcomes. It determines and quantifies the similarities, discrepancies and inconsistencies between the new data and the available knowledge, and allows decision-making even when the new situations are dissimilar to or inconsistent with past events. It is customizable for real-time data acquisition systems and it displays and stores the prediction and evaluation results in a historian file.
