  2. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method_in...

    The geometric interpretation of Newton's method is that at each iteration, it amounts to the fitting of a parabola to the graph of () at the trial value , having the same slope and curvature as the graph at that point, and then proceeding to the maximum or minimum of that parabola (in higher dimensions, this may also be a saddle point), see below.

  3. Quadratic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_programming

    Quadratic programming (QP) is the process of solving certain mathematical optimization problems involving quadratic functions.Specifically, one seeks to optimize (minimize or maximize) a multivariate quadratic function subject to linear constraints on the variables.

  4. Loss function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_function

    An optimization problem seeks to minimize a loss function. An objective function is either a loss function or its opposite (in specific domains, variously called a reward function, a profit function, a utility function, a fitness function, etc.), in which case it is to be maximized. The loss function could include terms from several levels of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming

    In matrix form, we can express the primal problem as: Maximize c T x subject to Ax ≤ b, x ≥ 0; with the corresponding symmetric dual problem, Minimize b T y subject to A T y ≥ c, y ≥ 0. An alternative primal formulation is: Maximize c T x subject to Ax ≤ b; with the corresponding asymmetric dual problem, Minimize b T y subject to A T ...

  6. Least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares

    The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function Conic fitting a set of points using least-squares approximation. In regression analysis, least squares is a parameter estimation method based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (a residual being the difference between an observed value and the fitted value provided by a model) made in the results of each ...

  7. Duality (optimization) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(optimization)

    Linear programming problems are optimization problems in which the objective function and the constraints are all linear. In the primal problem, the objective function is a linear combination of n variables. There are m constraints, each of which places an upper bound on a linear combination of the n variables. The goal is to maximize the value ...
