System, method, software arrangement and computer-accessible medium for incorporating qualitative and quantitative information into an economic model
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing qualitative information associated with a characteristic of at least one entity based on associated quantitative information, comprising:
- obtaining first information which contains at least in part a qualitative information relating to at least one of the at least one entity;
determining second information associated with at least one attribute of the characteristic obtained from the first information;
obtaining third information which contains at least in part quantitative information associated with at least one of the at least one entity; and
establishing fourth information as a function of the second information and the third information to determine which of at least one attribute affects the characteristic.

Abstract
A system, method, software arrangement and computer-accessible medium can be provided for incorporating quantitative and qualitative information into an economic model is provided. An exemplary method for analyzing qualitative information associated with a characteristic of at least one entity based on associated quantitative information, includes, obtaining first information which contains at least in part a qualitative information relating to at least one of the at least one entity; determining second information associated with at least one attribute of the characteristic obtained from the first information; obtaining third information which contains at least in part quantitative information associated with at least one of at least one entity; and establishing fourth information as a function of the second information and the third information to determine which of at least one attribute affects the characteristic. For example, an observable economic variable can be characterized using numerical and qualitative information associated with one or more of the entities. The influence of the quantitative and qualitative information on the observable economic variable for a given entity relative to other entities may be determined using statistical regressions.

16. A system for analyzing qualitative information associated with a characteristic of one or more entities based on associated quantitative information, comprising:
-
a storage arrangement having modules provided thereon which are capable of configuring a processing arrangement to; obtain first information which contains at least in part qualitative information relating to at least one entity; determine second information associated with at least one attribute of the characteristic obtained from the first information; obtain third information which contains at least in part quantitative information associated with at least one of the at least one entity; and establish fourth information as a function of the second information and the third information to determine which of the at least one attribute affect the characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A software arrangement provided for analyzing qualitative information associated with a characteristic of one or more entities based on associated quantitative information, comprising:
-
a first module, which when executed by a processing arrangement causes the processing arrangement to obtain first information which contains at least in part qualitative information relating to at least one entity; a second module, which when executed by a processing arrangement causes the processing arrangement to determine second information associated with at least one attribute of the characteristic obtained from the first information; a third module, which when executed by a processing arrangement causes the processing arrangement to obtain third information which contains at least in part quantitative information associated with at least one of the least one entity; and a fourth module, which when executed by a processing arrangement causes the processing arrangement to establish fourth information as a function of the second information and the third information to determine which of the at least one attribute affect the characteristic.

21. A computer-accessible medium which includes a set of instructions that are provided for analyzing qualitative information associated with a characteristic of one or more entities based on associated quantitative information, wherein, when a processing arrangement executes the instructions, the processing arrangement executes the steps comprising of:
-
obtaining first information which contains at least in part qualitative information relating to at least one entity; determining second information associated with at least one attribute of the characteristic obtained from the first information; obtaining third information which contains at least in part quantitative information associated with at least one of the at least one entity; and establishing fourth information as a function of the second information and the third information to determine which of the at least one attribute affect the characteristic.
