METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING VALUES DERIVED FROM LARGE DATA SETS BASED ON VALUES CALCULATED FROM SMALLER DATA SETS

摘要

The current document is directed to methods and systems for estimating values that could be derived from a large data set, were it available, from values computed from an available smaller data set. A specific example of the currently described methods and systems are methods and systems that estimate various medical-record-related statistics and values computed from hypothetical datasets. In order to extrapolate the desired statistics and computed values from the observed smaller data set, multiple models are employed by the currently disclosed methods and systems. These models can be employed sequentially to generate relatively fine-grained estimates over various multi-dimensional data-set volumes.
