The present invention is an improved computational method and system of empirical induction that can be used to arrive at generalized conclusions and make predictions involving longitudinal associations between and among variables and events. Empirical induction is used to gain scientific knowledge, to develop and evaluate treatments and other interventions, and to help make predictions and decisions. The invention, which is distinct from and often complementary to the statistical method, is applied to repeated measures and multiple time-series data and can be used to quantify, discover, analyze, and describe longitudinal associations for individual real and conceptual entities. Major improvements include provisions to define Boolean independent events and Boolean dependent events and to apply analysis parameters such as episode length and episode criterion for both independent and dependent variables, persistence after independent events, and delay and persistence after Boolean independent events. These improvements are in addition to levels of independent and dependent variables, delay after independent events, and provision to quantify benefit and harm across two or more dependent variables. Additional improvements include provisions to quantify longitudinal associations as functions of period or time and to compute values of predictive indices when there are two or more independent variables. Major applications and uses of the invention include data mining, the conduct of clinical trials of treatments for the management or control of chronic disorders, health-effect monitoring, the quantification and analysis internal control in adaptive systems, analyses of serial functional images, analyses of behavior and behavior modification, and use to create computerized devices and systems whose behavior can be modified by experience.
