Computer-Implemented Systems And Methods For Automatic Triangulation Of Forward Conversion Curves
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a future conversion curve between a first metric and a second metric, the method comprising:
- receiving a first metric and a second metric;
retrieving a plurality of conversion curves, the conversion curves having a corresponding weight, and each conversion curve identifying a plurality of future conversions between a source metric and a target metric;
calculating, using one or more processors, one or more paths between the first metric and the second metric using two or more conversion curves, wherein each path begins with the first metric and ends with the second metric, and wherein each path is associated with a path weight based upon the sum of the weights used to calculate that path;
determining a shortest path between the first metric and the second metric, wherein the shortest path is the path having the least weight; and
generating a future conversion curve by collapsing the two or more conversion curves of the shortest path.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a future conversion curve between a first metric and a second metric are provided. A system and method can include receiving a first metric and a second metric. A plurality of conversion curves are retrieved, where each conversion curve has a corresponding weight. One or more paths between the first metric and the second metric are calculated using two or more conversion curves, where each path begins with the first metric and ends with the second metric, and where each path is associated with a path weight based upon the sum of the weights used to calculate the path. A shortest path between the first metric and the second metric is determined, where the shortest path is the path having the least weight, and a future conversion curve is generated by collapsing the two or more conversion curves of the shortest path.
