Controlled selection of inputs
First Claim
1. A process for selecting input parameters for application to an intelligent processing system or a data manipulating operation, the process including the steps of:
- —
(a) applying said input parameters to a pre-processor capable of providing an indication of a state of organisation of said parameters as a whole, (b) selecting said parameters if the state of said organisation of said parameters as a whole is determined to be sufficient;
otherwise;
(c) analysing said indication to determine the influence of at least some of said input parameters thereupon, (d) rejecting one or more of said parameters based upon the degree of said influence, and (e) repeating steps (a), (b), (c) and (d) until the said state of organisation of said parameters as a whole is determined to be sufficient.

Abstract
The invention relates to a selection process for input parameters intended for application to an intelligent processing system such as a neural network, or in the implementation of an intensive data handling operation, such as data mining. The selection process involves producing an indication of the state of organisation of the parameters and selecting them for use in the processing system or data handling operation if their state of organisation is indicated to be sufficient. If the state of organisation of the parameters is not deemed sufficient, their various influences are automatically determined and at least one parameter tending to disturb the state of organisation is rejected. A revised indication of the state of organisation of the remaining parameters is then produced, and the selection process is repeated until either a satisfactory indication is produced, at which point the relevant parameters are applied to the processing system or data handling operation, or insufficient parameters remain to produce a reliable indication.
