1. A method for characterizing, detecting and predicting an event of interest, a target event, based on temporal patterns useful for predicting a probable occurrence of the target event, the method comprising:

  • defining measurable events and their features and quantizing them into event classes;

    analyzing temporal series of the event classes, and establishing preliminary prediction rules by analyzing temporal patterns of the event classes that precede an occurrence of the target event using a sliding time window;

    evaluating the quality of and optimizing parameters of the preliminary prediction rules using a defined fitness function, thereby defining finalized prediction rules;

    making available the finalized prediction rules for application on a temporal series of the event classes to forecast a probable occurrence of the target event; and

    applying the finalized prediction rules on the temporal series of the event classes to forecast a probable occurrence of the target event.
