EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119107 titled 'EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The evaluation apparatus described in the abstract is designed to acquire combination determination information from an indicator selection apparatus and generate evaluation information for an evaluation target based on this information.

  • Combination acquisition unit acquires combination determination information from an indicator selection apparatus.
  • Combination determination information includes a combination of a category variable and at least one support variable related to an evaluation target.
  • Plurality of groups are determined based on the value of the category variable.
  • Statistic of the support variable is generated for each group.
  • Evaluation unit generates evaluation information for each support variable based on the value of the support variable of the evaluation target and the statistic of the support variable of the corresponding group.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields such as data analysis, market research, and performance evaluation.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently evaluating and analyzing data by considering multiple indicators and support variables simultaneously.

Benefits

- Improved accuracy in evaluation processes - Enhanced decision-making based on comprehensive data analysis

Potential Commercial Applications

- Market research companies - Financial institutions - Government agencies

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of statistical analysis software in research and evaluation processes to analyze data based on multiple variables.

The abstract does not mention the computational resources required for the evaluation apparatus to generate evaluation information for each support variable.


Original Abstract Submitted

an evaluation apparatus includes a combination acquisition unit and an evaluation unit. the combination acquisition unit acquires combination determination information from an indicator selection apparatus. the combination determination information determines a combination of a category variable being one of a plurality of indicators related to an evaluation target and at least one support variable each being the indicator different from the category variable. further, a plurality of groups are determined based on a value of the category variable. then, a statistic of the support variable is generated for each of the plurality of groups. the evaluation unit generates, for each of the support variables, evaluation information, for example, an evaluation value by using a value of the support variable of the evaluation target and the statistic of the support variable of the group to which the value of the category variable of the evaluation target belongs.
