SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPRESSING BEHAVIOR DATA USING SEMI-PARAMETRIC OR NON-PARAMETRIC MODELS

Methods and systems for efficiently compressing information comprising a plurality of data points along a particular dimension are presented. In some embodiments, a model may be generated using a semi-parametric modeling technique or a non-parametric modeling technique to represent the plurality of data points. The model may include a set of parameters that is less in size than the plurality of data points. Once the model is generated, the set of parameters may be stored and subsequently used to represent the information, with a significant reduction in storage space over the original data. In response to a request to analyze the information, the set of parameters may be analyzed to produce an outcome. Since the set of parameters have less cardinality than the plurality of data points in the original information, the efficiency of the analysis tool is enhanced.
