Adaptive dynamic personal modeling system and method
First Claim
1. A method for building and analyzing a quantitative model from qualitative tacit knowledge comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of cause factors and a plurality of effect factors;
receiving a plurality of defined cause and effect relationships, each defined cause and effect relationship comprising a relationship value corresponding to a degree of influence that a selected cause factor has on a selected effect factor; and
providing a means for holistically analyzing a plurality of cause and effect relationships.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for building and analyzing a quantitative model from qualitative tacit knowledge. In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for creating and analyzing a model of a user'"'"'s semantic knowledge. The semantic knowledge model is based on cause and effect relationships as defined by the user. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for creating and analyzing a model of a user'"'"'s episodic knowledge. The episodic knowledge model is based on the user'"'"'s past experiences, including recalled stimuli and responses. The semantic and episodic models are used to describe the users internal mental model.

4. A method for building and analyzing a quantitative model from qualitative tacit knowledge comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of episodes, each episode comprising a plurality of cause factors and a plurality of effect factors;
receiving a plurality of defined cause and effect relationships, each defined cause and effect relationship comprising a value corresponding to a degree of influence that a selected cause factor in an episode has on a selected effect factor within the same episode; and
matching defined relationships in a first episode with defined relationships in a second episode such that the matched relationships have the same cause factor and the same effect factor;
deriving a function from the matched defined relationships such that the derived function describes a relationship between causes and effects across episodes; and
providing a means for holistically analyzing a plurality of cause and effect relationships. - View Dependent Claims (5)

computer readable code on a computer readable medium for receiving a plurality of cause factors and a plurality of effect factors;
computer readable code on a computer readable medium for receiving a plurality of defined cause and effect relationships, each defined cause and effect relationship comprising a relationship value corresponding to a degree of influence that a selected cause factor has on a selected effect factor; and
computer readable code on a computer readable medium for providing a means for holistically analyzing a plurality of cause and effect relationships.
