1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing warranty issues, comprising:
- using statistical analysis, by one or more data processors, to detect one or more warranty issues by examining one or more claim counts within a time period;
using a robust estimator, by the one or more data processors to calculate claim intensities corresponding to the one or more claim counts;
estimating, by the one or more data processors, one or more seasonality factors using a logistic regression model, wherein the estimated seasonality factors correspond to variations in claim intensities relative to the time period;
using the estimated one or more seasonality factors to determine a type of warranty analysis to perform upon the one or more claims, by the one or more data processors, wherein warranty analysis types include a production period model analysis and a claim period model analysis;
performing, by the one or more data processors, emerging issue analysis using the warranty analysis, wherein the results of the emerging issues analysis are reconciled;
processing, by the one or more data processors, one or more alerts based upon the reconciled emerging issues analysis, wherein each alert has an associated alert index score; and
generating, by the one or more data processors, a graphical interface display including the reconciled emerging analysis results according to the associated index scores.

Abstract
Computer-implemented methods and systems for analyzing claims related to a warranty. Statistical analysis is performed in order to examine claim counts with respect to a time period (e.g., production period, claim period, etc.). A claim issue is detected based upon the statistical analysis with respect to the time period.
