FREE South West Holidays For Grenfell Victims
Two friends organise holidays for those traumatised by the disaster.
Horse Rescue Plymouth
Bad teeth, malnutrition and even poisoning - animal cruelty to horses in Devon is on the rise. **Video contains distressing scenes**
**Video contains distressing scenes**
A Plymouth-based charity has warned that the number of cases of animal cruelty to horses has increased.
This comes after the charity recently rescued two horses while their owner was on holiday.
Corey, a co-founder of Ponderosa, described how the horses had bad teeth, poor diets and were poisoned by the plants in their field.
Heart spoke to Corey, who said that people had bought horses to try out riding, or just because they have a spare field are finding how time consuming and difficult it is to look after them full-time.
When winter months approach, newer owners are not always willing to go out in the cold to tend to their horse.
As well as neglect, owners may not wish to pay for medical bills to keep the horse healthy.
Heart was given videos of the recent rescue which took place at the weekend.
In this recent rescue, sadly only one of the horses survived.
Ponderosa Equine and Animal Rescue has previously run into financial difficulty, threatened with closure. For their Facebook page CLICK HERE

FDA-Approved Chemicals for Use in Federally Inspected Meat and Poultry Plants
Several Birko customers have asked whether we carry FDA-approved chemicals for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.
No, and neither does anyone else. With the advent of HACCP, the chemicals used in the plant are now the responsibility of the plant management. Command and control procedures are now replaced with performance standards. It becomes more important than ever to have an understanding of the guidelines for good chemical practice. You may rely on science-based documents to support the good manufacturing practice in your plant, or a letter of guarantee from your provider that specifies a product is appropriate for its purpose. Your provider must be an experienced company, like Birko, with the science and documentation to back that up.
You may continue with products in place or approved on the online NSF White Book™ Listing of proprietary substances and nonfood compounds. That strategy has a "grandfathering" safety net. Innovations in chemistry will not be available to those relying on the grandfathered products. Refer to 9 CFR Parts 416.1 through 416.17 for new rules on sanitation.
FSIS Directive 11,000.1 applies, and supercedes many prior regulations.
When selecting a chemical products supplier, keep in mind that Birko's experience in food safety dates to 1953, pre-dating the implementation of USDA inspection. We maintain a nationwide complement of technical representatives, all HACCP certified, to help you with your chemical process implementations.
One Response to "FDA-Approved Chemicals for Use in Federally Inspected Meat and Poultry Plants"
Dear Kelly,
I appreciate your post and I am glad to find it since I was doing online research about regulations regarding chemicals used in food plants (meat and poultry). I am consulting a company that had developed a new product, it is not a cleaning chemical, nor a sanitizer. It is used as a biofilm (bacteria) detection kit. I was wondering if this product with some chemicals such as surfactants need to be FDA-approved. FSIS regulation just says that documentation substantiating the safety of a chemical's use in a food processing environment must be available. But this kept me wondering which type of documentation is valid. I would greatly appreciate it if you can give me some advice or light about this. Thank though for posting this info on Birko webpage.

So, uh, I've got a confession to make.
Remember the Blackhawks' 24-game point streak? The longest such streak to start a season in the history of the NHL?
Well, um, I ruined that.
Last Thursday I wrote a lengthy column about the streak, celebrating the Hawks' ability to MacGyver a win out of any conceivable game scenario. I spent more than a thousand words exalting them as unconquerable ice deities who would blast their opponents aside like a fire hose to ducklings and make a gingerly stroll to a Stanley Cup victory.
And this, of course, jinxed them.
The very next day, they lost to the exceedingly mediocre Avalanche after giving up roughly 73 goals. And in their next game, they were vanquished by the bottom-of-the-conference Oilers, once again allowing roughly 73 goals.
Now they are the worst professional sports team that humankind has ever known, and it's all my fault.
But while I'm horrified to have derailed one of the most sensational sports stories of the year, I'm also feeling empowered. As Spider-Man once said, "With great power comes inevitable yet amusing abuses of that power, like using my web to draw glasses on old people sitting across from me on public transportation."
Applied to my own life, this means I can harness my jinxing powers to put the kibosh on everything I find mildly upsetting about sports. All I gotta do is heap praise on whatever's bugging me, and within two business days or so it will simply stop happening. That's how jinxing works.
So I think I'll go ahead and do that now. And if it goes as planned, maybe next week I'll get around to poverty and war and stuff.
Floyd Mayweather's undefeated streak
No one will ever defeat Floyd Mayweather. I am certain of it. Even if Muhammad Ali in his prime had metal arms and Jaws as a tag-team partner, he would still be no match for Floyd Mayweather, because no one can ever be better at him than anything, including being a role model. He is a national treasure, and it would be a real shame if for some reason he were to suddenly turn into a mound of day-old Arby's roast beef or something equally humiliating.
JumboTron proposals
Can there be a purer expression of love than when a man requests an eternal union with a woman on a colossal TV screen while 30,000 strangers shake their heads and mutter, "That poor girl"? There cannot! One can only fathom how hopeful a woman feels when the Oscar Meyer Deli Meat Dash ends and then suddenly, on that very screen, there is a seven-word solicitation for her entire life with the thoughtful man who just spilled an $8 beer in her lap while lunging for a foul ball. This, dear readers, is the firmest foundation for a healthy marriage.
Terrific! Ha-ha! Nothing enhances the quality of a sport quite like a little bit of theater, am I right? Anderson Varejao, you are a Shakespearean actor of the highest order. Bravo, sir.
Lance Armstrong being a talking point
Americans care a tremendous deal about cycling, as evidenced by how we all know the names of loads of professional cyclists, like, uh, Henry Handlebar and, er, um, Dave Bikeguy. Hence, it only makes sense that we're still giving obscene amounts of attention to Lance Armstrong and his misdeeds. So let's continue to hurl our anger at him, as it is very fulfilling to hurl anger at a cancer survivor who might've cheated but also raised millions of dollars to help other people affected by cancer. Hopefully we'll continue to hear about him for decades and decades to come.
Athletes dressing like nerds
After many millennia of ruthless dork oppression, it's soooooooo great to see athletes finally warming up to nerd culture. Sure, it'd be nice if they paid some reparations, perhaps in the form of supermodel groupies, but honestly, the real reward is in seeing guys like Russell Westbrook wearing flowery little Urkel shirts and big dweeby glasses. It's like if Genghis Khan were to follow up his massacres by wearing the traditional tunics of the vanquished populations. Just a really touching gesture, y'know?
BCS polls
[Ardently slaps forearms together like a seal to express in ways that words cannot just how wonderful and rational the BCS polls truly are.]
Alex Rodriguez
Great guy. Just a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great guy. Karma will reward him richly for being such an upstanding fellow. Definitely won't be reincarnated as a used Band-Aid or anything like that. And you gotta figure that once that hip heals up (without the aid of banned substances, of course), he'll be hittin' dingers for another 10 years. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he doesn't dwindle into obscurity and/or get cartoon squashed by a gigantic anvil.
Athletes making parody videos
These videos just NEVER. GET. OLD. Whether it's "Gangnam Style" or "Harlem Shake," my idea of a perfect day is to pry my eyes open "Clockwork Orange"-style and watch dozens upon dozens of athlete parody videos until I laugh myself unconscious. If this athlete parody video craze ever comes to an end, you'll find me lying naked and alone in the darkness of my closet, slowly forfeiting the will to live, because I just can't imagine life without them.
Roger Goodell and Gary Bettman
Eh. I got nothing. Can't feign any enthusiasm here. But honestly, I don't really believe in jinxing, anyway. Perhaps we could find another way to get rid of them. Like, maybe we could swap their monogrammed cuffs with ordinary cuffs so they're too ashamed to go out in public again. Or leave a sign outside a closet that reads "POOR PEOPLE GETTING CONCUSSED INSIDE! HILARIOUS!" and then lock the door behind them when they go in. We need some solid strategies. If you have any ideas, feel free to leave them in the comments.

Tire Blowout Blamed for Clinton Trucking Accident
Authorities suspect that a tire blowout is to blame for a fatal trucking accident that left two people dead and 21 injured last Monday.
About the Fatal Arkansas Accident
According to KARK-TV, two people were killed and 21 people were injured in Clinton, Arkansas last week after a truck reportedly lost its brakes, flipped over, and spilled logs onto a bridge construction site.
One worker, Hubert Keith Moore, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident while another, Ricardo Trochez Atkins, died shortly after being taken to the hospital.
While investigations are ongoing, State Police claim that earlier accounts of the truck's brakes failing were incorrect.
A preliminary report issued by police suggests that the trailer's left-rear tire blew out, causing the truck to lose control.
Trucking Accident Statistics
- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,921 people were killed in trucking accidents in 2012 – up 4 percent from 3,781 deaths recorded in 2011.
- Another 104,000 people suffered injuries in connection to trucking accidents, marking an 18 percent increase from 88,000 in 2011.
- Of those killed in trucking accidents in 2012:
- 697 (18 percent) were occupants of large trucks
- 2,843 (73 percent) were occupants of passenger vehicles
- 381 (10 percent) were non-occupants including pedestrians and pedalcyclists
- Trucking accidents occurred most often on weekdays during the daytime hours between 6 am and 5:59 pm.

Its been nearly a year since The Project 13 launch night last September where the P13 residents smashed a packed out Joshua Brooks which still stands as one of our best partys to date.
The Project has evolved greatly in the past year beyond our expectations, but, what has been greater is the
progression the residents have made taking them to a international level.
In the past year their bookings have taken them as far as Belgium, The Netherlands, the prestigious FabricLive, Outlook Festival & pretty much everywhere in the U.K not to mention a couple'o number one releases in the Juno Charts & releases on
world wide credited labels (aswell as merking all P13 raves on a regs ! )
So for a mere £2 come scope out one of the strongest array of artist in Manchester. We'll also have the mighty T-Man joining us on mic for extra re-enforcement on this one.

His sounds can be heard on forward thinking labels such as LowRiders & Saturate and he'll be merking Outlook festival this September for the second time running:
Leadbelly (Project 13 / FabricLive / Hit&Run )
Originally making his name in 2008 on the underground free party scene playing to thousands of people Leadbelly quickly established his position as one of the strongest and most frequently booked young Manchester DJs.
Known for his overly tight mixing abilities, intricate track selection and now his productions have taken Leadbelly as far as Amsterdam, Outlook Festval this September and most recently merking the prestigious Fabric London bigger things are set to pop off in the near future.
Catacombs & Knowledge (M.U.D / Innamind / Project 13)
2 of the top young Manchester producers at the moment utilising the original eyes down 140bpm sound with a new school twist, in which, resulted in them burying the number 1 spot on the Juno Charts a couple of months back with there release on M.U.D "Out of Focus". There tunes are being repped by pretty much every respectable DJ and producer on the scene from Biome, Jay5, Sleeper, District, Thelem and gaining regular RinseFM airtime from the likes of Distance etc.
There bookings have taken them as far as belgium and all over the U.K.
Check the DISTRICT remix of there number 1 "Old Town"
Sparkz (Project 13 / JKP / Selective Hearing / Hit&Run)
The Manchester Host with the most by a mile, gaining residencies for numerous respectable Manchester nights as well as his Solo work taking him as far as the States.
Sparks has been smashing raves all over the country and will be gracing Outlook festival this year.
Brero (Project 13)
The P13 dark horse Brero will be joining us once more. Not much is known about this guy yet but he is one of the strongest slept on producers in manchester at the moment.
Check out his soundcloud for some fresh heat and a cheeky free dl.
Mankovic (Project 13)
P13 head honcho and one of manchesters smoothest selectors The Mankovic has been some long overdue recognition for his mixing ability gaining gigs in and around manchester frequently recently, his productions are equally as cold which you'll be hearing more of in the very near future!
Just £2 before 11:30, £3 after
This will be our last rave till the 1st birthday in September so don't slack!
Peace & green, P13

Transit Supervisor Assaulted
Published: August 14, 1989
A Transit Authority supervisor was critically injured yesterday when she was beaten by a fellow worker at the authority's headquarters on Jay Street in Brooklyn during a hallway dispute, the transit police said. The woman, whose age was given as 44 and whose name was withheld until her family could be notified, was taken to Long Island College Hospital. The transit police arrested Steven Trowel, who lives at 1469 West Avenue in the Parkchester section of the Bronx, and charged him with assault.

Expand Messages
- Feb 1, 2012Fan cooled,1000W, so I would like to transfer heat to the enclosure too. In theory it's only 1.5 pounds/screw...at least until you drop it. The previous supply I used was smaller but had 8 M3 screws. Those have been on tour 2 years now with no failures.
Guess I'll just use the screws with some thread-locker so they don't back out. 3mm isn't all that far to have the supply fall out.

"I just wanted to take a moment to express how amazing this training retreat turned out to be for me. I know you saw the transformation I experienced on a surface level in terms of my expression of pain (fibromyalgia) and I can attest the internal transformation was even more meaningful and life affirming. Thank you both for creating a space that was so loving and safe to allow for this level of vulnerability. I am really excited about continuing my education and practice of the Breathworks teachings both on a personal level and as part of my ongoing professional practice. I honestly cannot wait to attend the next level of training (more intensive and longer retreat) and only wish that I could just come to the UK this summer. However, I can tell you now to "sign me up" for the next event in the United States in the Spring of 2016. I really believe this model can help so many people and needs to be out there in the community!"
Carolyn Licht, PHD, NYS Licensed Psychologist, New York
" I would like to thank you for the excellent MBCT/MBSR Pathways course I attended as the start of my teacher training with Breathworks, it is the first training that I have found that allows me to use many of my skills. I have been teaching Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology to Complementary Health Practitioners for The Energy Centre in Geneva for some years now and so the explanation of the 'three diaphragm' breath inquiry made so much sense to me. Your whole program makes me feel that the participants attending the course will really benefit enormously. Not only are they getting the basis of the MBSR programme but they are also getting a huge amount of practical assistance and explanations on how to assist themselves and ultimately learn to have a different relationship with their pain.

Germany (Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria)
An abandoned castle in France. How can this be? It must be a disaster on the inside because it's magnificent on the outside. I'll take it!
Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
Misty Parsonage, a gorgeous little cottage in Somerset, in the middle of nowhere, it was the Parson's residence for the quaint Culbone Church which you can see here. Legend has it that Samuel Taylor Coleridge was staying here when he had a dream that lead to the creation of his Kubla Khan poem, but he was awoken in the midst of the dream ... so it was never finished!

My Dh is out with his friends too. I am rather annoyed bc he's worked like crazy we've hardly seen him all week, he worked today too then left to go out when there's so much yard/house work that needs to be done. I hope your Dh honors his promise to you! I dont think I'd like my Dh gone for the weekend, I'd probably give him s**t about it lol.
It is a relief knowing gender, now I can shop if feels more real now, I know that's silly to think that way but I'm definitely happy to know! The kids are excited for a sister (my daughter more so than my son lol) gender didn't really matter to me as long as she's healthy!!
I wasn't overly concerned when you said bow legs, not unless it's at a point where it's hindering him then I'd be concerned. i hope they figure out his allergies so that can get straightened out quickly!!
Temper tantrums.... I dislike those lol.. my kids still throw them when they don't get what they want haha they are 7 and 12 . Are those new for him??
The weather has been nice here too now that the rain finally let up! I hope you're enjoying your nice warmer weather, we sure have been. It makes sports so much more enjoyable when we aren't freezing sitting out there watching lol.
Enjoy your weekend!!

Evaluation Wilson is a massive defensive line prospect who dominates at the point of attack. Possesses the strength and power to overwhelm most opponents at the high school level. Tall, long-armed, thick-trunked. Consistently gets off blocks to make plays vs. run and as a pass-rusher. Powerful bull-rusher, sometimes even when doubled. Explosion off the ball looked noticeably better on junior tape compared to sophomore film. Pursues well for such a large interior defender. Potentially scheme-versatile as even-front 3-technique DT and multi-position prospect in odd front. Can play a bit too high at times because of his height. While pursuit ability is impressive, can sometimes (understandably) get off-balance laterally. Must be ready to acclimate to a significant jump in competition going from private school football in Texas (a state ruled by public schools) to Power Five college level. Overall, one of the top prospects in Texas - and the nation - in the 2017 cycle. - Gabe Brooks *****
Evaluation Watts is a big interior defensive line prospect who's potentially scheme-versatile at the Power Five conference level. Big frame and good size to match. Powerful at the point of attack. Shows ability to back up traffic and plug gaps. Can take on blockers and still affect opponents' run game. Strong hands aid in consistent disengaging ability and sure tackling. Sometimes can collapse pocket as interior pass-rusher. At times, shows excellent get-off at the snap, but inconsistent in that aspect of his game for now. Can improve body control, especially when taking contact. Possibly scheme-versatile enough to play in an even or odd front. Overall a big, physical interior talent who projects to the P5 level. - Gabe Brooksnull

Electronic storage mechanisms have enabled accumulation of massive amounts of data. For instance, data that previously required volumes of books for recordation can now be stored electronically without the expense of printing paper and with a fraction of the physical space needed for storage of paper. Many users employ database systems or other systems for storage and organization of data. To maintain data in a readily retrievable format and in an easily understandable manner, the data can be arranged in, or represented by, a tabular format. That is to say, the tabular data can be organized in rows and columns, wherein each row can be regarded as an entity described by properties that are contained in the columns of the row.
In some situations, a user may be interested in performing goal seeks in the tabular data. As such, the user is interested in a particular outcome and would like to know the changes within the data that can bring about that particular outcome. Thus, seeking a goal becomes the problem of finding an optimum input for the function so that the result (e.g., the value of the target column) is as close as possible to the desired target value.
Generally, the implementation of goal seeking is based on cell formulae that requires a target cell to be functionally dependent (through cell formulae) on the input cells. This implementation consists in a search over the set of possible values for the input cells. The search succeeds if one of the inputs yields the desired value for the target cell. Thus, functional dependency (cell formula) between the target column and the remaining cells is needed to perform goal seeking.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments. This summary is not an extensive overview and is intended to neither identify key or critical elements nor delineate the scope of such embodiments. Its purpose is to present some concepts of the described embodiments in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
In accordance with one or more embodiments and corresponding disclosure thereof, various aspects are described in connection with goal seeking utilizing predictive analytics, data mining models technologies, or other predictive technologies. The goal seeking can be developed based on an existing model that contains patterns that describe the world as viewed through the data. In some embodiments, the goal seeking can be performed by creating a model and using the created model for goal seeking on multiple types of tabular data. In accordance with some embodiments, the confidence of a goal seek result can be normalized to estimate the degree of confidence that the change will yield the desired outcome.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, one or more embodiments comprise the features hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims. The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative aspects and are indicative of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the embodiments may be employed. Other advantages and novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings and the disclosed embodiments are intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents.
Various embodiments are now described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more aspects. It may be evident, however, that the various embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing these embodiments.
As used in this application, the terms "component", "module", "system", and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs.
Furthermore, the one or more embodiments may be implemented as a method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed embodiments. The term "article of manufacture" (or alternatively, "computer program product") as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope of the disclosed embodiments.
Various embodiments will be presented in terms of systems that may include a number of components, modules, and the like. It is to be understood and appreciated that the various systems may include additional components, modules, etc. and/or may not include all of the components, modules, etc. discussed in connection with the figures. A combination of these approaches may also be used. The various embodiments disclosed herein can be performed on electrical devices including devices that utilize touch screen display technologies and/or mouse-and-keyboard type interfaces. Examples of such devices include computers (desktop and mobile), smart phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other electronic devices both wired and wireless.
Referring initially to
An example of such a goal can be in the context of a column labeled "Housing: Own or Rent". The rows corresponding to that column can take the values "Own" and "Rent". For this example, the goal is the "Own" state. The semantics can be that a certain business problem is optimized if the person identified by that row/column pair owns a house. Another example is a column labeled "Income", which may take any numeric value between 0 and 100,000. A goal can be a value of "95,000." This indicates that a certain business problem can be optimized if the income of the entity defined by that row/column pair is as close as possible to 95,000.
In further detail, system 100 includes tabular data 102, which can be any form of tabular data 102 contained in an application 104. The tabular data 102 can be in various forms, such as in a server in a relational form, in a storage media on a client application, or in numerous other forms. The tabular data 102 can be in a variety of formats, such as a spreadsheet, extensible markup language XML data that can be represented as tabular data, a grid based application, a form, a report, a webpage, a printout, or other data that can be divided into fields. Thus, tabular data, as used herein, can be any data that is user visible and/or user interactive.
The tabular data information 102 can be provided to a predictive analysis engine component 106 that can be configured to analyze the tabular data 102 and determine a change or changes to an input (e.g., row/column pair) that can result in a desired output or goal(s) 108. The recommended change(s) to achieve the goal(s) 108 can be presented to a user for further action. If the analysis by predictive analysis engine component 106 indicates that changes will not result in the goal, the recommendation 108 can instead be an error message that can be presented to the user. This error message can be presented in various formats (e.g., text message, audio message, other visual or audible indications), provided it is understandable to the user.
The tabular data 102 and/or application 104 can be located remote from the predictive analysis engine component 106. That is to say, the disclosed computations, modeling and predictive analytics can be executed on a server independent of the location of the data. For example, the data 102 can be retained in a client machine and the predictive analysis engine component 106 and/or other system 100 components can be located on another machine, such as a remote server. Therefore, a device with low computing power can interact with a server machine, which can perform the computational complexities described herein. The interaction can be through various connections, both wired and wireless.
The disclosed embodiments do not have to rely on functional dependency for goal seeking but instead can infer the functional dependency based on the rows other than the row being analyzed in the tabular data. These other rows should be semantically related to the row and goal being analyzed. The goal seeking can be performed for both categorical data and continuous data. The results of applying a function to the possible n-tuples (A1, A2, A3, . . . An) can be evaluated and the result that generates the closest output to the goal can be chosen. A tuple, as used herein, is one row of the tabular data (or data that can be expressed as a row if the data is not in tabular format). The methodology 200 can be independent of the predictive solution being utilized (e.g., any predictive analytics can be used including data mining and other analytic techniques) and/or the number of columns being considered as inputs for seeking the goal.
Method 200, can start, at 202, when a desired goal is received from a user and/or entity (e.g., the Internet, another system, a computer, . . . ), referred to herein as user. Based on the desired goal, a predictive model can be built from the tabular data, at 204. The predictive model can be a classification model (e.g., for a categorical goal), a estimation model (e.g., for a continuous goal), or another type of model. The model can determine patterns that can determine a value or values of a target column as a function of the other columns within the tabular data that can result in the desired goal. A function that can be utilized to describe the target column values can be:
F=(Col1Values×Col2Values× . . . ×ColN values)→(targetColValues)
where N is an integer greater than or equal to one. An input argument for the above function can be an n-tuple: (A1, A2, A3, . . . An) where Ai is one of the possible values of the ith column.
At 206, the set of possible values for each column in the tabular data can be ascertained, which can occur at substantially the same time as the modeling, at 204. For a current row, the possible combinations of states for the input columns can be explored, at 208, and a determination whether one or more of the combinations of states might achieve the desired goal can be made, at 210. If the desired goal can be achieved ("YES"), the combination of states that maximizes the probability that the target column has the desired value is output, at 212. This output value can be presented to the user for further action. In some situations, it is possible that none of the evaluated combinations of values will achieve the desired goal ("NO"). In this case, an error is reported, at 214. The error can be a message to the user indicating that the goal is not achievable, this error message can take various forms and can be presented in various different ways (e.g., text message, voice message, or other visual or audible means).
With reference now to
First, a predictive model is built and patterns determined. Depending on the predictive analytics (e.g., predictive algorithm, data mining models technology, data mining methodologies and so forth) various patterns can be obtained. Such patterns can include the following:
Based on the determined pattern, the possible values for each column can be obtained. These possible values represent all the values within each column that are possible, based on the world as viewed by the data. Thus, if a column does not contain a particular value it is not considered. For example, values that would not be considered for the "Marital Status" column include "Divorced", "Single", "Widowed" and so forth because the world, as viewed by the data, only contains the fields "Married" and "Not Married". The possible values for the exemplary table 300 illustrated are:
Next, the possible combinations can be explored and the combination that maximizes the probability (e.g., the desired goal) is returned or output to the user. Based on the simple patterns described above, the probability for "Married", which is the desired goal, can be maximized if "Age" is 35 or 45. Thus, the output presented to the user can suggest changing the Age column to 35 or 45. However, as will be discussed further below, there may be situations for which a subset (or none) of the columns are candidates for change and thus, the desired goal cannot be achieve based on the current information.
With reference now to
In further detail, predictive analysis engine component 406 can include a receiver component 412 that can be configured to receive a user defined goal, which can be an optimization for a business problem applied to a respective row. Receiver component 412 can also be configured to receive or request tabular data 402 that corresponds to the goal.
Also included is an optimization component 414 that can be configured to optimize goal seeking in the case of a single degree of freedom. That is to say an implementation can be: for a given row, find the value of column Source that can maximize the likelihood of reaching the goal in the Target column. In some scenarios, it is likely that only some of the input columns are candidates for change in order to achieve a goal (e.g., the problem may have a relatively small number of degrees of freedom). This can be caused by the fact that certain attributes of the entities modeled by rows cannot be reasonably changed. For example, in a direct marketing scenario, one might choose between offering a customer a free gadget or a free trip, but cannot change the customer's address.
For situations where some or most of the n-tuple's elements are fixed, optimization component 414 can be configured to evaluate the function:
F=(Col1Values×Col2Values× . . . ×ColN values) (targetColValues)
for n-tuples with some fixed positions. With reference now to
The following is a practical example to illustrate the above. The goal of this example is to find the saving offer that can maximize the likelihood that a particular customer will buy a bike. This particular customer has the following attributes: Age=25; Distance from Work=2-5 miles; Number of Cars=0; Savings Offer=?. Optimization component 414 can determine those factors that should not be optimized (because they are fixed). In this example, these factors are Age, Distance from Work and Number of Cars, which are not in control of the salesperson trying to sell the bike. Information relating to generating a search space on a continuous input column will be provided below with reference to
Additionally or alternatively, optimization component 414 can be configured to support multiple degrees of freedom. As such, optimization component 414 can generate correct results utilizing a greedy approach, which generally involves making the decision that seems the best at the moment the decision is made without reconsidering this decision, regardless of later situations. The greedy approach utilized by optimization component 414 can include solving the problem, as indicated above, for each individual input column. Then one n-tuple can be created that contains the best results for each input column. The created n-tuple can be suggested as a result of the goal-seek operation. Additionally or alternatively, the solution can be optimized to remove local optimums by taking into account the first N best solutions for each column and testing the combination of these top N partial solutions.
Predictive analysis engine component 406 can also include a measurement component 416 that can determine a measure or degree of confidence that a recommended change will yield the desired outcome or goal. This measurement and/or the degree of confidence can be presented to the user through a display or output component 418. In addition, output component 418 can present the results from optimization component 414 or other system 400 components.
Measurement component 416 can be configured to measure the degree of confidence directly from the predictive model generated by optimization component 414. When traversing the input space, measurement component 416 can obtain a certain confidence (e.g., probability) that the goal can be reached for each n-tuple. The suggestion can then be the n-tuple with the maximum probability.
By way of example and not limitation, a target column has exactly 2 states, which are "Yes" and "No". The goal for this example is "Yes" and measurement component 416 determines that changing an input column to value "A" yields a goal confidence of 90%. Measurement component 416 further determines that changing an input column to value "B" yields a goal confidence of 20%. Both these confidence levels can be presented to the user. In this case, the raw confidence is convincing since 90% is much better than 20%. However, the result would not be convincing if the confidence is actually 51%. Similarly, a probability of 10% is not convincing, but may indicate a lot if the target column has one hundred distinct states.
To measure confidence, measurement component 416 can use a normalization process which can take into account the confidence returned by the best input n-tuple and/or the prior probability that the target is already the goal. Continuing the above example, if at training time, measurement component 416 determines that the probability of "Yes" is 10% and the probability of "No" is 90%. After a goal seek procedure is performed, it is determined that the best n-tuple has a probability of 80% of reaching the goal. This 80% can represent a significant lift over the original 10%. Therefore, this result can be suggested by measurement component 416 with a high confidence. However, if the probability of "Yes" is 90% and the best n-tuple has a probability of 91% of reaching the goal, this 91% is not a significant lift over 90%. Therefore, this result has a limited confidence.
Measurement component 416 can also utilize a normalization mechanism, which is an exponential function applied to the probability lift. The probability lift can be defined as:
Lift=(([Best N-tuple probability]−[Prior probability of the Goal])/[Prior probability of the Goal])
The normalized confidence can be computed as:
where the exponential function has values in the 0-1 space and multiplication by 100 normalizes the confidence between 0 and 100.0.
With reference now to
In some embodiments, a machine learning component 614 can be utilized with the disclosed techniques. The machine-learning component 614 can employ artificial intelligence based systems (e.g., explicitly and/or implicitly trained classifiers) in connection with performing inference and/or probabilistic determinations and/or statistical-based determinations with respect to goal seeking and which columns/rows and changes within those columns/rows might bring about the desired goal(s).
As used herein, the term "inference" refers generally to the process of reasoning about or inferring states of the system, environment, and/or user from a set of observations as captured through events and/or data. Inference can be employed to identify a specific context or action, or can generate a probability distribution over states, for example. The inference can be probabilistic—that is, the computation of a probability distribution over states of interest based on a consideration of data and events. Inference can also refer to techniques employed for composing higher-level events from a set of events and/or data. Such inference results in the construction of new events or actions from a set of observed events and/or stored event data, whether or not the events are correlated in close temporal proximity, and whether the events and data come from one or several event and data sources. Various classification schemes and/or systems (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines, and so forth) can be employed in connection with performing automatic and/or inferred action in connection with the disclosed techniques.
At 808, the best point and the distance between the goal and the best point's solution are found. The min and max are defined, at 810, where min is defined as ([best point]−δ) and max is defined as ([best point]+δ). Method 800 can continue, at 802, where a min/max point of range of possible values for the input are chosen. This can be repeated until the distance becomes stable (e.g., for about five iterations).

Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the inventive methods can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor computer systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.
The illustrated aspects may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where certain tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
A computer typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital video disk (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer.
Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of the any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.

The system bus 1108 can be any of several types of bus structure that may further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. The system memory 1106 includes read-only memory (ROM) 1110 and random access memory (RAM) 1112. A basic input/output system (BIOS) is stored in a non-volatile memory 1110 such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, which BIOS contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 1102, such as during start-up. The RAM 1112 can also include a high-speed RAM such as static RAM for caching data.
The computer 1102 further includes an internal hard disk drive (HDD) 1114 (e.g., EIDE, SATA), which internal hard disk drive 1114 may also be configured for external use in a suitable chassis (not shown), a magnetic floppy disk drive (FDD) 1116, (e.g., to read from or write to a removable diskette 1118) and an optical disk drive 1120, (e.g., reading a CD-ROM disk 1122 or, to read from or write to other high capacity optical media such as the DVD). The hard disk drive 1114, magnetic disk drive 1116 and optical disk drive 1120 can be connected to the system bus 1108 by a hard disk drive interface 1124, a magnetic disk drive interface 1126 and an optical drive interface 1128, respectively. The interface 1124 for external drive implementations includes at least one or both of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 interface technologies. Other external drive connection technologies are within contemplation of the one or more embodiments.
The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, and so forth. For the computer 1102, the drives and media accommodate the storage of any data in a suitable digital format. Although the description of computer-readable media above refers to a HDD, a removable magnetic diskette, and a removable optical media such as a CD or DVD, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of media which are readable by a computer, such as zip drives, magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, cartridges, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment, and further, that any such media may contain computer-executable instructions for performing the methods disclosed herein.
A number of program modules can be stored in the drives and RAM 1112, including an operating system 1130, one or more application programs 1132, other program modules 1134 and program data 1136. All or portions of the operating system, applications, modules, and/or data can also be cached in the RAM 1112. It is appreciated that the various embodiments can be implemented with various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems.
A user can enter commands and information into the computer 1102 through one or more wired/wireless input devices, e.g., a keyboard 1138 and a pointing device, such as a mouse 1140. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, an IR remote control, a joystick, a game pad, a stylus pen, touch screen, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 1104 through an input device interface 1142 that is coupled to the system bus 1108, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, etc.
A monitor 1144 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 1108 through an interface, such as a video adapter 1146. In addition to the monitor 1144, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.
The computer 1102 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections through wired and/or wireless communications to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer(s) 1148. The remote computer(s) 1148 can be a workstation, a server computer, a router, a personal computer, portable computer, microprocessor-based entertainment appliance, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 1102, although, for purposes of brevity, only a memory/storage device 1150 is illustrated. The logical connections depicted include wired/wireless connectivity to a local area network (LAN) 1152 and/or larger networks, e.g., a wide area network (WAN) 1154. Such LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices and companies, and facilitate enterprise-wide computer networks, such as intranets, all of which may connect to a global communications network, e.g., the Internet.
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 1102 is connected to the local network 1152 through a wired and/or wireless communication network interface or adapter 1156. The adaptor 1156 may facilitate wired or wireless communication to the LAN 1152, which may also include a wireless access point disposed thereon for communicating with the wireless adaptor 1156.
When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 1102 can include a modem 1158, or is connected to a communications server on the WAN 1154, or has other means for establishing communications over the WAN 1154, such as by way of the Internet. The modem 1158, which can be internal or external and a wired or wireless device, is connected to the system bus 1108 through the serial port interface 1142. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 1102, or portions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device 1150. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.
The computer 1102 is operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, e.g., a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag (e.g., a kiosk, news stand, restroom), and telephone. This includes at least Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices.
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from home, in a hotel room, or at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology similar to that used in a cell phone that enables such devices, e.g., computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.11(a, b, g, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet). Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, at an 11 Mbps (802.11a) or 54 Mbps (802.11b) data rate, for example, or with products that contain both bands (dual band), so the networks can provide real-world performance similar to the basic 10BaseT wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.

The system 1200 also includes one or more server(s) 1204. The server(s) 1204 can also be hardware and/or software (e.g., threads, processes, computing devices). The servers 1204 can house threads to perform transformations by employing the various embodiments, for example. One possible communication between a client 1202 and a server 1204 can be in the form of a data packet adapted to be transmitted between two or more computer processes. The data packet may include a cookie and/or associated contextual information, for example. The system 1200 includes a communication framework 1206 (e.g., a global communication network such as the Internet) that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 1202 and the server(s) 1204.
Communications can be facilitated through a wired (including optical fiber) and/or wireless technology.
