“…The BIW uses the proprietary Sequential Statistical Evaluation of Building Parameters (SSEBP) algorithm to produce building construction type results based on user responses to questions regarding a building's physical characteristics. The SSEBP algorithm, inspired by Ellefsen et al (1981), Ellefsen (2005), and Loechl et al (2010), formulates the initial construction type selection derived from a nomination routine that scores the selection based on building characteristics supplied by the user. Further building type selection is made based on an elimination routine, also derived from user responses to additional building characteristic questions.…”
