Method, system, and storage medium for providing a dynamic, multi-dimensional commodity modeling process
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a dynamic multi-dimensional commodity modeling process, comprising:
- creating a commodity hierarchy data structure comprising;
at least one top level node; and
at least one leaf node dependent upon said at least one top level node;
assigning attributes to nodes in said hierarchy, said attributes sharing uniform characteristics;
selectively assigning at least one dimensional attribute to a node;
wherein dimensional attributes includes at least one of;
a perfoniaance tolerance;
a noise filter;
an oscillation thresholds or trends;
consecutive trending; and
negative performance threshold; and
creating a commodity tree that includes the commodity hierarchy data structure, assigned attributes, and selectively assigned dimensional attributes, the commodity tree used in invoking an analysis based upon said at least one dimensional attribute;
wherein dependent nodes inherit dimensional attributes assigned to corresponding upper level nodes.

Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing a dynamic multi-dimensional commodity modeling process. The method comprises creating a commodity hierarchy data structure. The commodity hierarchy data structure includes at least one top level node and at least one leaf node dependent upon the top level node. The method further comprises assigning uniform attributes to nodes in the hierarchy and selectively assigning at least one dimensional attribute to a node for invoking an analysis based upon the dimensional attribute. The dependent nodes inherit dimensional attributes assigned to corresponding upper level nodes. Other embodiments include an apparatus, a system, and storage medium.
