ABSTRACT:
A system and method of accurately predicting and reporting a value of a property based on a weighted average of values predicted by at least two prediction models. The system and method include the steps of accessing predicted values, determined by the prediction models, for the property; determining property-specific proportional prediction error distribution information for each predicted value determined by each prediction model; assigning a weight to the predicted value determined by each prediction model by using the property-specific proportional prediction error distribution information; and generating a property-specific weighted average value based on combination of the weight and the predicted value determined by each prediction model and reporting the property-specific weighted average value to minimize prediction error during prediction of the property value.
