  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. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

    Within Excel, the goal seek function can be used to set column 15 to 0 by changing the depth estimate in column 2 instead of iterating manually.

In particular see "Chapter 4: Artificial Neural Networks" (in particular pp. 96–97) where Mitchell uses the word "logistic function" and the "sigmoid function" synonymously – this function he also calls the "squashing function" – and the sigmoid (aka logistic) function is used to compress the outputs of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theil–Sen_estimator

    It has also been called Sen's slope estimator, [1] [2] slope selection, [3] [4] the single median method, [5] the Kendall robust line-fit method, [6] and the Kendall–Theil robust line. [7] It is named after Henri Theil and Pranab K. Sen , who published papers on this method in 1950 and 1968 respectively, [ 8 ] and after Maurice Kendall ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_regression

    Yr = A 2.x + K 2 for x > BP (breakpoint) where: Yr is the expected (predicted) value of y for a certain value of x; A 1 and A 2 are regression coefficients (indicating the slope of the line segments); K 1 and K 2 are regression constants (indicating the intercept at the y-axis). The data may show many types or trends, [2] see the figures.

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS.It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

  9. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    In decision tree learning, greedy algorithms are commonly used, however they are not guaranteed to find the optimal solution. One popular such algorithm is the ID3 algorithm for decision tree construction. Dijkstra's algorithm and the related A* search algorithm are verifiably optimal greedy algorithms for graph search and shortest path finding.
