  2. Secretary problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem

    Sometimes this strategy is called the / stopping rule, because the probability of stopping at the best applicant with this strategy is already about / for moderate values of . One reason why the secretary problem has received so much attention is that the optimal policy for the problem (the stopping rule) is simple and selects the single best ...

  3. Optimal stopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_stopping

    There are generally two approaches to solving optimal stopping problems. [4] When the underlying process (or the gain process) is described by its unconditional finite-dimensional distributions , the appropriate solution technique is the martingale approach, so called because it uses martingale theory, the most important concept being the Snell ...

  4. Approval voting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting

    An optimal approval vote always votes for the most preferred candidate and not for the least preferred candidate, which is a dominant strategy. An optimal vote can require supporting one candidate and not voting for a more preferred candidate if there 4 candidates or more, e.g. the third and fourth choices are correlated to gain or lose ...

    Flowchart of using successive subtractions to find the greatest common divisor of number r and s. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈ æ l ɡ ə r ɪ ð əm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

    These facts did not stop Republicans from blaming the President for the ensuing debts during his administration. [ 25 ] One study summarized in The New York Times estimated that President Bush's policies added $5.07 trillion to the debt between 2002–2009, while President Obama's policies would add an estimated $1.44 trillion to the debt ...

  7. Optimal foraging theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_foraging_theory

    The constraints of the system determine the shape of this curve. The optimal decision rule (x*) is the strategy for which the currency, energy gain per costs, is the greatest. Optimal foraging models can look very different and become very complex, depending on the nature of the currency and the number of constraints considered.

  8. Cube root law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root_law

    In this regard, analysis by Margaritondo gives an optimal formula of: =, where A is the size of the assembly, P is the population, and E = 0.45±0.03. Applying this formula to the U.S. House of Representatives as of the 2020 Census would give a House of between 379 and 1231 members, while using an exponent of 0.4507 gives 693 (the same result ...
