System and method for estimating missing attributes of future events

摘要

Methods and arrangements for forecasting at least one attribute of a future event based on a repository of historical event data associated with historical events comparable to the future event. A plurality of event data points are obtained from the repository of historical event data. The plurality of event data points are grouped in accordance with at least one category and a plurality of subcategories to create at least one data tree. Certain of the grouped event data points are designated to form a set of candidate data attributes, and the designated set of candidate data attributes are compared to a set of data attributes from the at least one data tree associated with the future event. Based on the comparing, there is identified a data attribute missing from the set of data attributes from the at least one data tree associated with the future event, and a value for the missing data attribute is forecast. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
