Nationwide Mutual Insurance has been granted a patent for a computer-implemented method that involves executing mathematical models during a transition period. The method includes receiving data describing sets of models, a transition period, and a launch event. The models in the transition-from set are executed on data prior to the launch event, while the models in the transition-to set are executed on data after the launch event. The outputs of both sets of models are combined and made available to consuming applications.

The patent is granted for a computer implemented method for transitioning and combining mathematical models
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11681840B1) describes a computer implemented method for transitioning between different sets of models in a data processing system. The method involves receiving data describing multiple sets of models, including a "transition-from" set and a "transition-to" set. The method also involves receiving data specifying a transition period of time, with a start point associated with a launch event.
Using a computer processor, the method executes the transition-from set on first sets of data that have a processing date prior to the launch event. It then executes the transition-to set on second sets of data that have a processing date after the launch event. After the transition period of time, the method executes the models in the transition-to set on both the first and second sets of data. The output of the execution of the transition-from set on the first sets of data is combined with the output of the execution of the transition-to set on the second sets of data. Finally, the output is made available to one or more consuming applications.
The patent also includes additional claims. Claim 2 specifies executing the models in the transition-from set on sets of data with a processing date after the launch event, and executing the models in the transition-to set on sets of data with a processing date prior to the launch event. Claim 3 describes discarding the output of the processing of the models in the transition-from set on sets of data with a processing date after the launch event, as well as discarding the output of the processing of the models in the transition-to set on sets of data with a processing date prior to the launch event. Claim 4 involves converting the output from a first format to a second format associated with the consuming application.
In addition to the method, the patent also describes a system comprising memory and at least one processor, as well as a non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing computer executable instructions that configure a computer to perform the method.
Overall, the granted patent outlines a computer implemented method for transitioning between different sets of models in a data processing system, allowing for the execution and combination of these models based on specified transition periods and launch events.
