Method and apparatus for identifying data relationships based on temporal dependency relationships

摘要

A decision support apparatus (100) includes a subject record database (102), a temporally dependent relationship identifier (104), an event predictor (130), a coded subject record database (106), a decision support system processor (108), and a user interface (110). The temporally dependent relationship identifier processes the data in the subject record database (102) to identify temporally dependent relationships in the data. Information indicative of the identified relationships is processed by the processor (108) and presented to a user via the user interface (110).
