ADVANCED DATA SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS USEFUL FOR AUCTION PRICING OPTIMIZATION OVER NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for auction pricing optimization over a network, comprising:
- receiving, by a data platform from a client device, an asset pricing request containing information about an asset, the data platform operating on at least one server machine and supporting a network site, the client device communicatively connected to the data platform over the network;
determining, by an optimization engine running on the data platform, a predicted price for the asset at each of a plurality of locations at each of a plurality of times;
computing, by the optimization engine, a price matrix containing a plurality of values for the predicted price, each value of the plurality of values associated with a specific location of the plurality of locations at a specific time of the plurality of times;
identifying, by the optimization engine from among the plurality of values at the plurality of locations relative to the plurality of times in the price matrix, an optimized predicted price for the asset by;
for a given location of the plurality of locations, comparing values associated with different times of the plurality of times;
for a given time of the plurality of times, comparing values associated with different locations of the plurality of locations; and
for a given location of the plurality of locations at a given time of the plurality of times, comparing values associated with different locations of the plurality of locations at different times of the plurality of times;
generating a view for presentation of the optimized predicted price for the asset on the client device; and
communicating the view to the client device over the network.

Abstract
An advanced data platform may receive an asset pricing request containing information about an asset. An optimization engine may determine a predicted price for the asset at different locations and times and compute a price matrix accordingly. The engine may identify an optimized predicted price from the price matrix, taking into account the spatial and temporal factors and various optimization conditions. A view for presentation of the optimized predicted price for the asset on a client device is generated and communicated to the client device over a network. When the asset is a vehicle, the engine may compute a linear regression model that defines a set of input variables with associated regression coefficients, the set of input variables comprising input variables representing attributes describing the vehicle.
