Abstract
A system and process for modeling attributes of a set of observed data. The system and process may include an initialization process providing for a likelihood function, a first order prior function; a calibration data set; a flexible interface module in which the likelihood function, the first order first order prior function, and the second order prior function are written in a programming language; a parameter bounding process in which parameters determined to be too large are interpolated or sequentially locked down; an outlier flagging process which identifies outliers using the gradient of the likelihood function; and an output process which reports information that may include outlier forces, confidence intervals, and other factors that are unique to this modeler and useful in refining the model.
