21Cut (graph theory) — In graph theory, a cut is a partition of the vertices of a graph into two disjoint subsets. The cut set of the cut is the set of edges whose end points are in different subsets of the partition. Edges are said to be crossing the cut if they are… …
22Total 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… …
23Neighbourhood components analysis — is a supervised learning method for clustering multivariate data into distinct classes according to a given distance metric over the data. Functionally, it serves the same purposes as the K nearest neighbour algorithm, and makes direct use of a… …
24Exponential distribution — Not to be confused with the exponential families of probability distributions. Exponential Probability density function Cumulative distribution function para …
25Gauss–Newton algorithm — The Gauss–Newton algorithm is a method used to solve non linear least squares problems. It can be seen as a modification of Newton s method for finding a minimum of a function. Unlike Newton s method, the Gauss–Newton algorithm can only be used… …
26List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures — The [http://www.nist.gov/dads/ NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data… …
27Route 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… …
28Notation for theoretic scheduling problems — A convenient notation for theoretic scheduling problems was introduced by Ronald Graham, Eugene Lawler, Jan Karel Lenstra and Alexander Rinnooy Kan. It consists of three fields: α, β and γ. Each field may be a comma separated list of words. The α …
29Ant colony optimization algorithms — Ant behavior was the inspiration for the metaheuristic optimization technique. In computer science and operations research, the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be… …
30Greedoid — In combinatorics, a greedoid is a type of set system. It arises from the notion of the matroid, which was originally introduced by Whitney in 1935 to study planar graphs and was later used by Edmonds to characterize a class of optimization… …
