CALL MAPPING SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING BAYESIAN MEAN REGRESSION (BMR)
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining or obtaining or receiving, by one or more computers, a distribution of real agent performance from previous real agent performance data for a respective skill k in a set of skills;
determining, by the one or more computers, a set of hypothetical agents with respective hypothetical agent performances APi ranging from a worst performance to a best performance for the respective skill k;
calculating for each of the set of hypothetical agents, by the one or more computers, a posterior distribution taking into account actual results of a respective actual agent in each of the set of skills, using the distribution of real agent performance and the set of hypothetical agents with respective hypothetical agent performances APi, to obtain a total probability for each hypothetical agent of the set of the hypothetical agents;
repeating, by the one or more computers, the calculating the posterior distribution steps for multiple of the hypothetical agents in the set of hypothetical agents to obtain the respective total probabilities for the respective hypothetical agents; and
determining, by the one or more computers, one of the hypothetical agents with a better value of total probability TP as the actual agent'"'"'s most probable global performance.

Abstract
A method, system and program product, the method comprising: determining a distribution of real agent performance from previous real agent performance data; determining a set of hypothetical agents with respective hypothetical agent performances APi ranging from a worst performance to a best performance; calculating for each of the set of hypothetical agents a posterior distribution taking into account actual results of a respective actual agent in multiple skills, using the distribution of real agent performance and the set of hypothetical agents with respective hypothetical agent performances APi, to obtain a total probability for each hypothetical agent of the set of the hypothetical agents; repeating calculating the posterior distribution steps for multiple of the hypothetical agents to obtain the respective total probabilities for the respective hypothetical agents; determining one hypothetical agent with a better value of total probability as the actual agent'"'"'s most probable global performance. This method may also be applied to obtain caller global propensity.
