Abstract

An apparatus and method for high-order modeling of a system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises at least a computing device to receive a plurality of system data, determine at least a current rate of growth for a plurality of categories of system data, generate at least a second-order model of the projected growth, identify at least a decrease in the second-order model for projected growth, identify a pattern associating the decrease in the second-order model to at least a single system datum, and configure a remote display to export a summary of the identified decrease in second-order model, identified pattern, and the recommended user actions to optimize the system growth rate. The method comprises a machine-learning model to execute the process described above.
