11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the comparative rule is a named rule, and wherein generating the rule parameters comprises: using a least-squared-error fit with a single constraint; and adding a Lagrange multiplier to the least-squared-error equations.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein reverse engineering a set of comparative rules comprises: iteratively generating rule parameters for each comparative rule in the set of comparative rules until the rule parameters are stable.
