Designing a Regime Dependent Artificial Intelligence System

Paradigm: Divide the cases into distinct process regimes for which the causal relationship between predictors and predictand is expected to differ.  First forecast the regime that will occur and then use a regime specific model to predict the variable of interest.

 

Rule: Design backwards up the causality chain from the predictand.

 

  1. What is the predictand?
  2. What processes affect the predictand?
  3. What is the set of regimes that determines which of these processes will be active?
  4. What predictors can be used to forecast which regime will occur?
  5. What model is best suited for predicting which regime will occur?
  6. What predictors can be used to forecast the predictand in each regime?
  7. What model is best suited for forecasting the predictand in each regime?
