Abstract
A 'variable group selection' system and method in which constructs are based upon a training data set, a regression modeling module that takes into account information on groups of related predictor variables given as input and outputs a regression model with selected variable groups. Optionally, the method can be employed as a component in methods of temporal causal modeling, which are applied on a time series training data set, and output a model of causal relationships between the multiple times series in the data.
