Abstract

Disclosed is a system for approximating conditional probabilities using an annotated decision tree where predictor values that did not exist in training data for the system are tracked, stored, and referenced to determine if statistical aggregation should be invoked. Further disclosed is a system for storing statistics for deriving a non-leaf probability corresponding to predictor values, and a system for aggregating such statistics to approximate conditional probabilities.
