Adaptive models are used by data analysts to predict outcomes in changing contexts. They are created using software and include factors such as resources, demand, and time frame. They can be used in various fields, including network security to detect cyber-attacks.
An adaptive model is a way to visualize data that can evolve with the changing contexts provided during the modeling process. These models are used to predict outcomes in real-world situations where the factors driving production and consumption change, affecting the marketability of products and services. They are created and used by data analysts in many business environments for this purpose.
Typically, an adaptive model is created using specially designed software. Using this software, data analysts enter information related to the product and/or service their company deals with. They will then provide information on the factors that determine the productivity of the company. This is called the modeling process.
The information used in an adaptive model is likely to include the supply of resources needed to manufacture the product and their associated costs. The expected demand from the expected consumer audience, distribution information, and other factors that are known to change over time will also be included. The time period analyzed is also important. If the time frame is too large, the information may be less accurate.
After the raw information has been fed into an adaptive model, the second stage, coding, begins. In this process, the software interprets the changing information and produces a sequence that can be read by the analyst. The analyst can then examine the produced sequence, make predictions about the future of the product or service provided by the company, and report these predictions to management and other employees.
While an adaptive model is most frequently used to predict changes in the economics of a business environment, it is seeing other uses in fields where predicting and understanding change is important. Network security is an example of such a field. As cyber-attacks on companies’ network infrastructure evolve in complexity and frequency, an adaptive model can be used to determine the likelihood of an attack and hopefully highlight weaknesses in a company’s system before security is compromised by an attacker. An adaptive model can be used to examine the Internet traffic a business is engaged in and find suspicious-looking information transfers so they can be scrutinized by network security personnel.
