Ratio Rules: A New Paradigm for Fast, Quantifiable Data Mining

Summary: Introduces Ratio Rules, quantifiable associations scored by RMS “guessing error” for reconstructing hidden matrix cells. Enables forecasting, what-if analysis, outlier detection, and visualization in one pass with small memory—substantially lower error than standard methods. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
