Abstract
The methods and systems described herein attempt to address the above-mentioned need by providing an algorithm and software capability to automatically detect and assess 'natural experiments' that exist in any underlying dataset. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for identifying an experiment to use in an analysis of a business initiative comprises storing, by a computer, a set of historical data regarding entities in a business network; receiving, by the computer, a selection of inputs for the historical data; detecting, by the computer, a natural experiment based upon changes in the historical data; and outputting, by the computer, a report of a detected experiment from the historical data.
