Abstract
A method and a processing device are provided for forecasting whether a record of data for an individual is associated with an outcome. Whether an n-gram associated with one of a group of predictors matches an n-gram included in the record of data is determined. When the n-gram included with the one of the group of predictors matches the n-gram in the record of data, a prediction is made as to whether the record of data is associated with the outcome based on a value assigned to the one of the group of predictors.
