Abstract

A method and system for forecasting using pattern recognition and extension software. Models of the present invention select patterns from a library that match historical data and extend them into the future to make forecasts that can be used with a variety of predictive technologies.

Claims

1. A method of processing numbers, comprising:

(a) identifying a set of formulae independent of the numbers to be processed;

(b) establishing a pattern based upon said formulae;

(c) calculating a set of values related to the numbers to be processed;

(d) comparing said pattern to said set of values to establish a relationship; and

(e) extending said relationship to establish an outcome related to the processing of said numbers.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said method is used in a microchip processor.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of comparing is accomplished with one or more algorithms.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said comparing includes offsetting a pattern sequence until establishing a relationship that meets predetermined criteria.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising optimizing said method by reported application.

5. A method of processing numbers, comprising:

(a) identifying a set of formulae independent of the numbers to be processed; and

(b) recognizing patterns in said formulae or combinations of said formulae to process said numbers rather than by making numerical computations.

6. A microchip for processing numbers, comprising a set of patterns recognizing microcircuits and means engaged with said microcircuits for recognizing patterns in the numbers to be processed.

7. A method of enhancing the processing of numbers comprising modifying a microchip to recognize sets of patterns instead of relying solely on arithmetic processing.

9. A method of processing numbers, comprising:

(a) developing a set of formulae that are independent of the numbers to be processed;

(b) establishing a mathematical relationship between said formulae and said numbers; and

(c) extending said relationship to establish an outcome of said number processing.
