A computing system initializes a first frontier to be a root of a multi-dimensional hierarchical data structure representing an entity. The system acquires first data corresponding to the first frontier. The system performs modeling on the first data to obtain a first model and a corresponding first statistic. The system expands a dimension of the first frontier. The system gathers second data corresponding to the expanded frontier. The system applies the data modeling on the second data to obtain a second model and a corresponding second statistic. The system compares the first statistic of the first model and the second statistic of the second model. The system sets the second model to be the first model in response to determining that the second model statistic is better than the first model statistic. The system outputs the first model.
