1. A method of identifying leading indicators comprising:
- a. receiving a plurality of data streams;
b. selecting a cluster of the plurality of the received data streams;
c. determining a strength of a plurality of data streams of the cluster relative to at least a portion of the plurality of received data streams;
d. selecting at least one of the data streams having a strength exceeding a threshold value as a leading indicator.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for predicting future data values based on past data values. Past data values such as past product demand values are received. Leading indicators are identified based on the past data values. The future data values are generated based on the leading indicators.

14. A method of generating a prediction comprising:
-
a. receiving a plurality of data streams; b. determining a strength of one or more of the plurality of data streams; c. identifying at least one of the one or more data streams having a strength greater than a threshold value as a leading indicator; d. generating predicted values for the plurality of data streams based on the at least one of the one or more data streams identified as a leading indicator. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of generating a prediction comprising:
-
a. receiving a plurality of data streams; b. computing a correlation between each of the plurality of data streams and the other of the plurality of data streams; c. selecting data streams responsive to the strength of their respective computed correlation; d. generating predicted values for at least one of the plurality of data streams based on the selected data streams. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 23, 24)

22. A computerized system for generating a prediction comprising:
-
a computerized database stored on a computer memory medium; and a processor in communication with the database and configured to control the system to; receive a plurality of data streams, determine a strength of one or more of the plurality of data streams, identify at least one of the one or more data streams having a strength greater than a threshold value as a leading indicator, and generate predicted values for the plurality of data streams based on the at least one of the one or more data streams identified as a leading indicator.
