81Support vector machine — Support vector machines (SVMs) are a set of related supervised learning methods used for classification and regression. Viewing input data as two sets of vectors in an n dimensional space, an SVM will construct a separating hyperplane in that… …
82Total least squares — The bivariate (Deming regression) case of Total Least Squares. The red lines show the error in both x and y. This is different from the traditional least squares method which measures error parallel to the y axis. The case shown, with deviations… …
83Trust region — is a mathematical optimization term, first coined by Celis, Dennis and Tapia at Rice University.Essentially the algorithm approximates only a certain region (the so called trust region) of the objective function with a model function (often a… …
84Quantum annealing — In mathematics and applications, quantum annealing (QA) is a general method for finding the global minimum of a given objective function over a given set of candidate solutions (the search space ), by a process analogous to quantum fluctuations.… …
85Cross-entropy method — The cross entropy (CE) method attributed to Reuven Rubinstein is a general Monte Carlo approach to combinatorial and continuous multi extremal optimization and importance sampling. The method originated from the field of rare event simulation,… …
86Route assignment — Route assignment, route choice, or traffic assignment concerns the selection of routes (alternative called paths) between origins and destinations in transportation networks. It is the fourth step in the conventional transportation forecasting… …
87Delayed column generation — is an efficient algorithm for solving larger linear programs.The overarching idea is that many linear programs are too large to consider all the variables explicitly. Since most of the variables will be non basic and assume a value of zero in the …
88Cuckoo search — (CS) is an optimization algorithm developed by Xin she Yang and Suash Deb in 2009.[1][2] It was inspired by the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds (of other species). Some host… …
89Grammatical evolution — is a relatively new evolutionary computation technique pioneered by Conor Ryan, JJ Collins and Michael O Neill in 1998 [http://www.grammaticalevolution.org/eurogp98.ps] at the [http://bds.ul.ie BDS Group] in the [http://www.ul.ie University of… …
90LPBoost — Linear Programming Boosting (LPBoost) is a supervised classifier from the Boosting family of classifiers. LPBoost maximizes a margin between training samples of different classes and hence also belongs to the class of margin maximizing supervised …
