Abstract

A computing device learns a best topological order vector of a plurality of variables. A target variable and zero or more input variables are defined. (A) A machine learning model is trained with observation vectors using the target variable and the zero or more input variables. (B) The machine learning model is executed to compute an equation loss value. (C) The equation loss value is stored with the identifier. (D) The identifier is incremented. (E) (A) through (D) are repeated a plurality of times. (F) A topological order vector is defined. (G) A loss value is computed from a subset of the stored equation loss values based on the topological order vector. (F) through (G) are repeated for each unique permutation of the topological order vector. A best topological order vector is determined based on a comparison between the loss value computed for each topological order vector in (G).
