METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING PRICING COMPARISONS OF COMPLEX LAYERED OR TOWER PRICING STRUCTURES WITH VARYING PRICING COMPONENTS

摘要

In an illustrative embodiment, methods and systems for modeling a layered or tower pricing program based upon limited layered or tower pricing structure data includes accessing pricing structure data having a number of layers, determining a base curve algorithm for representing an estimation of an optimally efficient pricing structure based upon the pricing structure data, the base curve algorithm representing a statistical distribution, and calculating, using the base curve algorithm and the pricing structure data, a fitted curve fitted to attachment points of the pricing structure data. The fitted curve may be used to estimate layer information and missing data points within one or more layers of the pricing structure data. By repeating the process for a number of competitors, peer comparison data may be generated to present comparisons of otherwise incompatible layered or tower pricing programs.
