    Download QR code; Print/export ... For example, given a function ... One popular minimax approximation algorithm is the Remez algorithm. References

  3. Principal variation search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_variation_search

    Principal variation search (sometimes equated with the practically identical NegaScout) is a negamax algorithm that can be faster than alpha–beta pruning. Like alpha–beta pruning, NegaScout is a directional search algorithm for computing the minimax value of a node in a tree. It dominates alpha–beta pruning in the sense that it will never ...

  4. Expectiminimax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectiminimax

    Bruce Ballard was the first to develop a technique, called *-minimax, that enables alpha-beta pruning in expectiminimax trees. [3] [4] The problem with integrating alpha-beta pruning into the expectiminimax algorithm is that the scores of a chance node's children may exceed the alpha or beta bound of its parent, even if the weighted value of each child does not.

  5. Alpha–beta pruning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha–beta_pruning

    Alpha–beta pruning is a search algorithm that seeks to decrease the number of nodes that are evaluated by the minimax algorithm in its search tree. It is an adversarial search algorithm used commonly for machine playing of two-player combinatorial games (Tic-tac-toe, Chess, Connect 4, etc.). It stops evaluating a move when at least one ...

  6. Minimax estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax_estimator

    For example, the ML estimator from the previous example may be attained as the limit of Bayes estimators with respect to a uniform prior, [,] with increasing support and also with respect to a zero-mean normal prior (,) with increasing variance. So neither the resulting ML estimator is unique minimax nor the least favorable prior is unique.

  7. Negamax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negamax

    Negamax search is a variant form of minimax search that relies on the zero-sum property of a two-player game. This algorithm relies on the fact that ⁠ (,) = (,) ⁠ to simplify the implementation of the minimax algorithm. More precisely, the value of a position to player A in such a game is the negation of the value to player B.

  8. 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.

  9. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.
