Abstract: When a lack of data inhibits decision making, large scale
what-if queries can be conducted over the uncertain parameter
ranges. Such what-if queries can generate an overwhelming
amount of data. We describe here a general
method for understanding that data. Large scale what-if
queries can guide Monte Carlo simulations of a model. Machine
learning can then be used to summarize the output.
The summarization is an ensemble of decision trees. The
TARZAN system can poll the ensemble looking for... (Update)
