Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Optimization Toolbox provides functions that search for global solutions to problems that contain multiple maxima or minima. Toolbox solvers include surrogate, pattern search, genetic algorithm, particle swarm, simulated annealing, multi start, and global search. You can use these solvers for optimization problems where the objective or constraint function is continuous, discontinuous, stochastic, does not possess derivatives, or includes simulations or black-box functions. For problems with multiple objectives, you can identify a Pareto front using genetic algorithm or pattern search solvers. You can improve solver effective es by adjusting options and, for applicable solvers, customizing creation, update, and search functions. You can use custom data types with the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing solvers to represent problems not easily expressed with standard data types. The hybrid function option lets you improve a solution by applying a second solver after the first.Simulated annealing is a method for solving unconstrained and bound-constrained optimization problems. The method models the physical process of heating a material and then slowly lowering the temperature to decrease defects, thus minimizing the system energy. At each iteration of the simulated annealing algorithm, a new point is randomly generated. The distance of the new point from the current point, or the extent of the search, is based on a probability distribution with a scale proportional to the temperature. The algorithm accepts all new points that lower the objective, but also, with a certain probability, points that raise the objective. By accepting points that raise the objective, the algorithm avoids being trapped in local minima, and is able to explore globally for more possible solutions. An annealing schedule is selected to systematically decrease the temperature as the algorithm proceeds. As the temperature decreases, the algorithm reduces the extent of its search to converge to a minimum.You might need to formulate problems with more than one objective, since a single objective with several constraints may not adequately represent the problem being faced. If so, there is a vector of objectives, F(x) = [F1(x), F2(x), ..., Fm(x)], that must be traded off in some way. The relative importance of these objectives is not generally known until the system's best capabilities are determined and tradeoffs between the objectives fully understood. As the number of objectives increases, tradeoffs are likely to become complex and less easily quantified. The designer must rely on his or her intuition and ability to express preferences throughout the optimization cycle. Thus, requirements for a multiobjective design strategy must enable a natural problema formulation to be expressed, and be able to solve the problem and enter preferences into a numerically tractable and realistic design proble

The hybrid function option lets you improve a solution by applying a second solver after the first.Global Optimization Toolbox functions include three direct search algorithms called the generalized pattern search (GPS) algorithm, the generating set search (GSS) algorithm, and the mesh adaptive search (MADS) algorithm. All are pattern search algorithms that compute a sequence of points that approach an optimal point. At each step, the algorithm searches a set of points, called a mesh, around the current point-the point computed at the previous step of the algorithm. The mesh is formed by adding the current point to a scalar multiple of a set of vectors called a pattern. If the pattern search algorithm finds a point in the mesh that improves the objective function at the current point, the new point becomes the current point at the next step of the algorithm.The GPS algorithm uses fixed direction vectors. The GSS algorithm is identical to the GPS algorithm, except when there are linear constraints, and when the current point is near a linear constraint boundary. The MADS algorithm uses a random selection of vectors to define the mesh.A surrogate is a function that approximates an objective function. The surrogate is useful because it takes little time to evaluate.Multiobjective optimization is concerned with the minimization of a vector of objectives F(x) that can be the subject of a number of constraints or bounds.In Big Data problems Parallel Processing is an attractive way to speed optimization algorithms. To use parallel processing, you must have a Parallel Computing Toolbox license, and have a parallel worker pool (parpool).This book develops the advanced functions of Matlab for optimization through examples

This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big data analytics examines large amounts of data to uncover hidden patterns, correlations and other insights. With today's technology, it's possible to analyze your data and get answers from it almost immediately - an effort that's slower and less efficient with more traditional business intelligence solutions.The concept of big data has been around for years; most organizations now understand that if they capture all the data that streams into their businesses, they can apply analytics and get significant value from it. But even in the 1950s, decades before anyone uttered the term "big data," businesses were using basic analytics (essentially numbers in a spreadsheet that were manually examined) to uncover insights and trends.Data Mining can be defined as a process of discovering new and significant relationships, patterns and trends when examining large amounts of data. The techniques of Data Mining pursue the automatic discovery of the knowledge contained in the information stored in an orderly manner in large databases. These techniques aim to discover patterns, profiles and trends through the analysis of data using advanced statistical techniques of multivariate data analysis.The goal is to allow the researcher-analyst to find a useful solution to the problem raised through a better understanding of the existing data.Data Mining uses two types of techniques: predictive techniques, which trains a model on known input and output data so that it can predict future outputs, and descriptive techniques, which finds hidden patterns or intrinsic structures in input data.

This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other formulations comprises a large area of applied mathematics. Optimization includes finding "best available" values of some objective function given a defined domain (or input), including a variety of different types of objective functions and different types of domains.Adding more than one objective to an optimization problem adds complexity. For example, to optimize a structural design, one would desire a design that is both light and rigid. When two objectives conflict, a trade-off must be created. There may be one lightest design, one stiffest design, and an infinite number of designs that are some compromise of weight and rigidity. The set of trade-off designs that cannot be improved upon according to one criterion without hurting another criterion is known as the Pareto set. The curve created plotting weight against stiffness of the best designs is known as the Pareto frontier.A design is judged to be "Pareto optimal" (equivalently, "Pareto efficient" or in the Pareto set) if it is not dominated by any other design: If it is worse than another design in some respects and no better in any respect, then it is dominated and is not Pareto optimal. The choice among "Pareto optimal" solutions to determine the "favorite solution" is delegated to the decision maker. In other words, defining the problem as multi-objective optimization signals that some information is missing: desirable objectives are given but combinations of them are not rated relative to each other. In some cases, the missing information can be derived by interactive sessions with the decision maker.Multi-objective optimization problems have been generalized further into vector optimization problems where the (partial) ordering is no longer given by the Pareto ordering.Optimization problems are often multi-modal; that is, they possess multiple good solutions. They could all be globally good or there could be a mix of globally good and locally good solutions. Obtaining all (or at least some of) the multiple solutions is the goal of a multi-modal optimizer.Classical optimization techniques due to their iterative approach do not perform satisfactorily when they are used to obtain multiple solutions, since it is not guaranteed that different solutions will be obtained even with different starting points in multiple runs of the algorithm. Evolutionary algorithms, however, are a very popular approach to obtain multiple solutions in a multi-modal optimization task.This book develops the following topics:* "Multiobjective Optimization Algorithms" * "Using fminimax with a Simulink Model" * "Signal Processing Using fgoalattain" * "Generate and Plot a Pareto Front" * "Linear Programming Algorithms" * "Maximize Long-Term Investments Using Linear Programming" * "Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Algorithms" * "Tuning Integer Linear Programming" * "Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Basics" * "Optimal Dispatch of Power Generators" * "Mixed-Integer Quadratic Programming Portfolio Optimization" * "Quadratic Programming Algorithms"* "Quadratic Minimization with Bound Constraints" * "Quadratic Minimization with Dense, Structured Hessian"* "Large Sparse Quadratic Program with Interior Point Algorithm" * "Least-Squares (Model Fitting) Algorithms" * "lsqnonlin with a Simulink Model" * "Nonlinear Least Squares With and Without Jacobian" * "Linear Least Squares with Bound Constraints" * "Optimization App with the lsqlin Solver" * "Maximize Long-Term Investments Using Linear Programming" * "Jacobian Multiply Function with Linear Least Squares" * "Nonlinear Curve Fitting with lsqcurvefit" * "Fit a Model to Complex-Valued Data" * "Systems of Equations" * "Nonlinear Equations with Analytic Jacobian" * "Nonlinear Equations with Jacobian" * "Nonlinear Equations with Jacobian Sparsity Pattern"* "Nonlinear Systems with Constraints" * "Parallel Computing for Optimization"

There are several Optimization Toolbox solvers available for various types of F(x) and various types of constraints.Given a set of n nonlinear functions Fi(x), where n is the number of components of the vector x, the goal of equation solving is to find a vector x that makes all Fi(x) = 0. fsolve attempts to solve systems of equations by minimizing the sum of squares of the components. If the sum of squares is zero, the system of equation is solved.Matlab also support Big Data for Optimization across parallel computing. Parallel computing is the technique of using multiple processors on a single problem. The reason to use parallel computing is to speed computations for Big Data. The following Optimization Toolbox solvers can automatically distribute the numerical estimation of gradients of objective functions and nonlinear constraint functions to multiple processors: fmincon, fminunc, fgoalattain, fminimax, fsolve, lsqcurvefit and lsqnonlin.
