Methods, systems and apparatus for modeling states of an entity are presented. For example, a method, implemented on a processor device, of modeling one or more states of an entity is presented. The method includes obtaining a training dataset for training a model by applying a stimulus to the entity, forming a set of model parameters, and using the set of model parameters to form the model, such that the model is configured to predict at least one of the one or more states of the entity. At least one model parameter of the set of model parameters changes with time as a result of dependency of the at least one model parameter on the stimulus and as a result of time-dependency of the stimulus. The steps of obtaining the training dataset, forming the set of model parameters and using the set of model parameters are implemented on the processor device.

Modeling states of an entity

Methods for predicting states of a subject are presented. For example, a method for predicting states of a subject includes obtaining training data comprising a plurality of variables, obtaining training states associated with the training data, and forming a predictive model according to the training data and the training states, the predictive model predictive of the training states. The forming of the predictive model includes extracting one or more hidden components from the training data. The extracting of the one or more hidden components includes regression analysis including determining one or more relationships between the one or more hidden components and the plurality of variables, and determining one or more relationships between the one or more hidden components and the training states. A number of the one or more hidden components is less than a number of the plurality of variables and greater than a number of the training states.
