Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing a comprehensive decision support system to include predictions, recommendations with consequences and optimal follow-up actions in specific situations are described. Data is obtained from multiple disparate data sources, depending on the information deemed necessary for the situation being modeled. The decision support system provides a prediction or predictions and a recommendation or a choice of recommendations based on the correlative analysis and/or other analyses. Also described are methods and apparatus for developing application specific decision support models. The decision support model development process may include identifying multiple disparate data sources for retrieval of related information, selection of classification variables to be retrieved from the data sources, assignment of weights to each classification variable, selecting and/or defining rules, and selecting and/or defining analysis functions.

2. A method comprising:
-
selecting, by an electronic device comprising at least one processor, a data set for an application area; creating, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, a weighted data set based on weighted scores assigned to data in the data set; generating, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, a correlation between the weighted data set and one or more previously correlated weighted data sets; and determining, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, a recommended action as a response to an event related to the data set, and outcome information for the recommended action, wherein said determining is based at least in part upon the correlation between the weighted data set and one or more previously correlated weighted data sets. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method comprising:
-
selecting, by an electronic device comprising at least one processor, a data set for an application area; analyzing, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, the data set based on fuzzy logic instructions; generating, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, a recommended action and outcome information for the recommended action; and performing, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, statistical analysis by a statistical analysis engine configured to be programmed with one or more models, wherein each model comprises mathematical instructions for processing the data set, wherein the mathematical instructions comprise weights to be assigned to the data set according to at least one of a source from which the data set was received or an age of the data set. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for performing an application specific decision support model comprising:
-
identifying, by an electronic device comprising at least one processor, data sources for an application area; selecting, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, variables to be searched for in each identified data source; assigning, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, weights to each variable searched, wherein weights correspond to relevance of information in each data source; identifying, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, instructions to apply to a search of a selected variable in an identified data source; conducting, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, a correlation process, wherein a current scenario is correlated with previous scenarios; conducting, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, multiple analysis on the current scenario; determining, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, at least one next likely outcome or event for at least one time point; identifying, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, at least one recommendation for each time point, wherein the at least one recommendation is based on the at least one next likely outcome or event; determining, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, at least one potential consequence for each recommendation; performing, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, an action based upon the at least one recommendation and at least one potential consequence; and storing, by the electronic device comprising at least one processor, results of the action. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
