1 FACTS PERTINENT TO THE ISSUES
2 The following enumerated Findings of Fact (FF) are believed to be supported
3 by a preponderance of the evidence.
4 Claim Construction
5 01. Entropy minimization is an induction algorithm that, starting with
6 nothing, adds variable to composite variable formula as long as they
7 increase the explainability [sic] of result (Specification, 47:Table 23).
8 02. LaGrange is an induction algorithm that is designed to identify the
9 behavior of dynamic systems and uses linear regression of the time
10 derivatives of the system variables (Specification, 47:Table 23).
11 03. Path Analysis is an induction algorithm that is essentially equivalent
12 to multiple linear regression that finds the least squares rule for more
13 than one predictor variable (Specification, 47:Table 23).
14 Bielinski
15 04. Bielinski is directed towards describing how Value Based
16 Management (VBM), an advancement in discounted cash flow
17 modeling, centers on what specific steps can be taken operationally and
18 strategically to add value to a target organization (Bielinski, 1:Abstract).
19 05. Bielinski describes how sensitivity analysis of past results offers clues
20 to what can be done in the future and which value drivers should receive
21 the most attention to achieve optimal rewards. The VBM technique
22 allows the analyst to figure key decision making trade-offs, since
23 attention to one driver may generate negative effects on others or 2 or
