Abstract:
An online system stores objects representing potential transactions of an enterprise. The online system uses predictor models to determine an aggregate score based on values of the objects associated with a time interval, for example, a month. Each object is configured to take one of a plurality of states. The online system stores historical data describing activities associated with potential transaction objects and uses the stored data for generating the predictor models. The online system categorizes the objects into bins based on states of the objects. The online system may generate different predictions for each category. The online system may use machine learning based models as predictor models. The online system extracts features describing potential transaction objects and provides these as input to the predictor model.
