Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for processing abstract rules with limiting criteria. In one embodiment, limiting criteria may specify requirements for characteristics of sets of input or output values of processing abstract rules. For example, limiting criteria may specify requirements for statistical validity of a set of input values, such as a minimum record count. In one aspect, limiting criteria may include input criteria applied to input data prior to being processed in a rule engine. In another aspect, limiting criteria may include output criteria applied to an output of a rule engine. In the event that limiting criteria are not satisfied, the processing of the abstract rule may be terminated.
