摘要: A method combining machine learning and regression analysis to automatically and intelligently update predictive models used in the Kansas Department of Transportation's (KDOT's) internal management system is presented. The predictive models used by KDOT consist of planning factors (mathematical functions) and base quantities (constants). The duration of a functional unit (defined as a subactivity) is determined by the product of a planning factor and its base quantity. The availability of a large data base on projects executed over the past decade provided the opportunity to develop an automated process updating predictive models based on extracting information from historical data through machine learning. To perform the entire task of updating the predictive models, the learning process consists of three stages. The first stage derives the numerical relationship between the duration of a functional unit and the project attributes recorded in the data base. The second stage finds the functional units with similar behavior--that is, identifies functional units that can be described by the same shared planning factor scaled in terms of their own base quantities. The third stage generates new planning factors and base quantities. A system called PFactor built on the basis of the three-stage learning process shows good performance in updating KDOT's predictive models.
