Creation of Attribute Combination Databases Using Expanded Attribute Profiles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer based method for compiling attribute combinations, comprising:
- a) receiving a query attribute;
b) accessing a set of expanded attribute profiles associated with a group of query-attribute-positive individuals, wherein the set of expanded attribute profiles comprises a set of primary attributes and a set of secondary attributes, wherein the set of secondary attributes is derived from the set of primary attributes and wherein the set of secondary attributes has lower resolution than the set of primary attributes;
c) accessing a set of expanded attribute profiles associated with a group of query-attribute-negative individuals, wherein the set of expanded attribute profiles comprises a set of primary attributes and a set of secondary attributes, wherein the set of secondary attributes is derived from the set of primary attributes and wherein the set of secondary attributes has lower resolution than the set of primary attributes;
d) identifying attribute combinations having a higher frequency of occurrence in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-positive individuals than in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-negative individuals; and
e) storing the identified attribute combinations to create a compilation of attribute combinations that co-occur with the query attribute.

Abstract
A method and system for compiling attribute combinations are presented in which expanded attribute profiles associated with a group of query-attribute-positive individuals and expanded attribute profiles associated with a group of query-attribute-negative individuals are accessed, and combinations of attributes having a higher frequency of occurrence in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-positive individuals are identified. The identified attribute combinations and corresponding statistical results can then be stored to create a compilation of attribute combinations that co-occur with the query attribute.

18. A computer based system for compiling attribute combinations, comprising:
-
a) a data receiving subsystem for receiving a query attribute; b) a data accessing subsystem for; i) accessing a set of expanded attribute profiles associated with a group of query-attribute-positive individuals, wherein the set of expanded attribute profiles comprises a set of primary attributes and a set of secondary attributes, wherein the set of secondary attributes are derived from the set of primary attributes and wherein the set of secondary attributes has a lower resolution than the set of primary attributes; ii) accessing a set of expanded attribute profiles associated with a group of query-attribute-negative individuals, wherein the set of expanded attribute profiles comprises a set of primary attributes and a set of secondary attributes, wherein the set of secondary attributes are derived from the set of primary attributes and wherein the set of secondary attributes has a lower resolution than the set of primary attributes; c) a data processing subsystem comprising; i) a data comparison subsystem for identifying attribute combinations having a higher frequency of occurrence in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-positive individuals than in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-negative individuals; ii) a statistical computation subsystem for generating statistical results that indicate the strength of association of the identified attribute combinations with the query attribute based on the frequencies of occurrence of the identified attribute combinations in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-positive individuals and in the set of expanded attribute profiles associated with the group of query-attribute-negative individuals; and iii) a data storage subsystem for storing the identified attribute combinations and the statistical results to create a compilation of attribute combinations that co-occur with the query attribute. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
