US Patent 11410111 Generating predicted values based on data analysis using machine learning

This disclosure describes techniques that include predicting a business metric associated with a given business enterprise using machine learning algorithms that have been trained on data, from other businesses, about that same business metric. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes selecting, from a data set, a training data subset and a test data subset; generating a plurality of candidate models configured to generate a predicted output metric, wherein the plurality of candidate models is generated by applying a plurality of machine learning algorithms to the training data subset; evaluating, using the test data subset, each of the plurality of candidate models to select a chosen model; receiving production data that includes data representing input metrics for a business entity not included within the plurality of business entities; and generating a predicted output metric for the business entity.
