A plurality of attribute groups is generated, where each of the attribute groups is statistically orthogonal and includes at least one of the plurality of attributes, based on occurrence data extracted from the plurality of EHRs. For a patient, a plurality of attribute scores is determined for the plurality of attributes based on occurrence data extracted from one or more EHRs corresponding to the patient. A plurality of attribute group scores is determined, for the patient, for the plurality of attribute groups, based on the plurality of attribute scores.
