  2. Best-fit bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best-fit_bin_packing

    Best-fit is an online algorithm for bin packing. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity. Ideally, we would like to use as few bins as possible, but minimizing the number of bins is an ...

  3. First-fit-decreasing bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-fit-decreasing_bin...

    First-fit-decreasing (FFD) is an algorithm for bin packing. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity.

  4. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.

  5. Bin packing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem

    The algorithm can be made much more effective by first sorting the list of items into decreasing order (sometimes known as the first-fit decreasing algorithm), although this still does not guarantee an optimal solution and for longer lists may increase the running time of the algorithm. It is known, however, that there always exists at least ...

  6. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    The hexagonal packing of circles on a 2-dimensional Euclidean plane. These problems are mathematically distinct from the ideas in the circle packing theorem.The related circle packing problem deals with packing circles, possibly of different sizes, on a surface, for instance the plane or a sphere.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Next-fit bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next-fit_bin_packing

    Next-k-Fit is a variant of Next-Fit, but instead of keeping only one bin open, the algorithm keeps the last bins open and chooses the first bin in which the item fits. For k ≥ 2 {\displaystyle k\geq 2} , NkF delivers results that are improved compared to the results of NF, however, increasing k {\displaystyle k} to constant values larger than ...
