  2. Stepwise regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepwise_regression

    Backward elimination, which involves starting with all candidate variables, testing the deletion of each variable using a chosen model fit criterion, deleting the variable (if any) whose loss gives the most statistically insignificant deterioration of the model fit, and repeating this process until no further variables can be deleted without a ...

  3. Backward induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_induction

    In dynamic programming, a method of mathematical optimization, backward induction is used for solving the Bellman equation. [3] [4] In the related fields of automated planning and scheduling and automated theorem proving, the method is called backward search or backward chaining. In chess, it is called retrograde analysis.

  4. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    Some authors use the term Gaussian elimination to refer only to the procedure until the matrix is in echelon form, and use the term Gauss–Jordan elimination to refer to the procedure which ends in reduced echelon form. The name is used because it is a variation of Gaussian elimination as described by Wilhelm Jordan in 1888. However, the ...

  5. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    The backward Euler method is an implicit method, meaning that the formula for the backward Euler method has + on both sides, so when applying the backward Euler method we have to solve an equation. This makes the implementation more costly.

  6. Sequential elimination method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_elimination_method

    However, loser-elimination methods often fail monotonicity due to chaotic effects (sensitivity to initial conditions): the order in which candidates are eliminated can create erratic behavior. [1] If the base method passes independence from the weakest alternative, the loser-elimination method is equivalent to the base method. [1]

  7. Tridiagonal matrix algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridiagonal_matrix_algorithm

    Simplified forms of Gaussian elimination have been developed for these situations. [ 6 ] The textbook Numerical Mathematics by Alfio Quarteroni , Sacco and Saleri, lists a modified version of the algorithm which avoids some of the divisions (using instead multiplications), which is beneficial on some computer architectures.

    Elimination of clitoral sexuality is a necessary precondition for the development of femininity,” Freud opined, “since it is immature and masculine in its nature.” Perhaps the learned Goss took Freud’s request for “elimination” a little too literally — or perhaps the entire incident was just a fluke.

  9. Invertible matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertible_matrix

    Gaussian elimination is a useful and easy way to compute the inverse of a matrix. To compute a matrix inverse using this method, an augmented matrix is first created with the left side being the matrix to invert and the right side being the identity matrix. Then, Gaussian elimination is used to convert the left side into the identity matrix ...
