This book was released on 1988 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper addresses the nonlinear least-squares problem min [formula], where f(x) is a vector in [symbol] whose components are smooth nonlinear functions. The problem arises most often in data fitting applications. Much research has focused on the development of specialized algorithms that attempt to exploit the structure of the nonlinear least-squares objective. We survey numerical methods developed for problems in which sparsity in the derivatives of f is not taken into account in formulationg algorithms."

Book Numerical Algorithms for Estimating Least Squares Problems

Download or read book Numerical Algorithms for Estimating Least Squares Problems written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The solution of least squares estimation problems is of great importance in the areas of numerical linear algebra, computational statistics and econometrics. The design and analysis of numerically stable and computationally efficient methods for solving such least squares problems is considered. The main computational tool used for the estimation of the least squares solutions is the QR decomposition, or the generalized QR decomposition. Specifically, emphasis is given to the design of sequential and parallel strategies for computing the main matrix factorizations which arise in the estimation procedures. The strategies are based on block-generalizations of the Givens sequences and efficiently exploit the structure of the matrices. An efficient minimum spanning tree algorithm is proposed for computing the QR decomposition of a set of matrices which have common columns. Heuristic strategies are also considered. Several computationally efficient sequential algorithms for block downdating of the least squares solutions are designed, implemented and analyzed. A parallel algorithm based on the best sequential approach for downdating the QR decomposition is also proposed. Within the context of block up-downdating, efficient serial and parallel algorithms for computing the estimators of the general linear and seemingly unrelated regression models after been updated with new observations are proposed. The algorithms are based on orthogonal factorizations and are rich in BLAS-3 computations. Experimental results which support the theoretical derived complexities of the new algorithms are presented. The comparison of the new algorithms with the corresponding LAPACK routines is also performed. The parallel algorithms utilize efficient load balanced distribution over the processors and are found to be scalable and efficient for large-scale least squares problems. It is expected that the proposed block-algorithms will facilitate the solution of computationally intensive statisti.

Book Total Least Squares and Errors in Variables Modeling

Download or read book Total Least Squares and Errors in Variables Modeling written by S. van Huffel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a growing interest in Total Least Squares (TLS) and Errors-In-Variables (EIV) modeling by researchers and practitioners, well-known experts from several disciplines were invited to prepare an overview paper and present it at the third international workshop on TLS and EIV modeling held in Leuven, Belgium, August 27-29, 2001. These invited papers, representing two-thirds of the book, together with a selection of other presented contributions yield a complete overview of the main scientific achievements since 1996 in TLS and Errors-In-Variables modeling. In this way, the book nicely completes two earlier books on TLS (SIAM 1991 and 1997). Not only computational issues, but also statistical, numerical, algebraic properties are described, as well as many new generalizations and applications. Being aware of the growing interest in these techniques, it is a strong belief that this book will aid and stimulate users to apply the new techniques and models correctly to their own practical problems.

Applications are surveyed to facilitate uses in an even wider range of applications. Whenever possible, comparison is made with the well-known least squares methods. A basic knowledge of numerical linear algebra, matrix computations, and some notion of elementary statistics is required of the reader; however, some background material is included to make the book reasonably self-contained.

Book Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems

Download or read book Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems written by Ake Bjorck and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The method of least squares was discovered by Gauss in 1795. It has since become the principal tool to reduce the influence of errors when fitting models to given observations. Today, applications of least squares arise in a great number of scientific areas, such as statistics, geodetics, signal processing, and control. In the last 20 years there has been a great increase in the capacity for automatic data capturing and computing. Least squares problems of large size are now routinely solved. Tremendous progress has been made in numerical methods for least squares problems, in particular for generalized and modified least squares problems and direct and iterative methods for sparse problems. Until now there has not been a monograph that covers the full spectrum of relevant problems and methods in least squares. This volume gives an in-depth treatment of topics such as methods for sparse least squares problems, iterative methods, modified least squares, weighted problems, and constrained and regularized problems. The more than 800 references provide a comprehensive survey of the available literature on the subject.

Book Large Scale Linear and Integer Optimization  A Unified Approach

Download or read book Large Scale Linear and Integer Optimization A Unified Approach written by Richard Kipp Martin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Kipp Martin has systematically provided users with a unified treatment of the algorithms and the implementation of the algorithms that are important in solving large problems. Parts I and II of Large Scale Linear and Integer Programming provide an introduction to linear optimization using two simple but unifying ideas-projection and inverse projection. The ideas of projection and inverse projection are also extended to integer linear optimization. With the projection-inverse projection approach, theoretical results in integer linear optimization become much more analogous to their linear optimization counterparts. Hence, with an understanding of these two concepts, the reader is equipped to understand fundamental theorems in an intuitive way. Part III presents the most important algorithms that are used in commercial software for solving real-world problems. Part IV shows how to take advantage of the special structure in very large scale applications through decomposition. Part V describes,how to take advantage of special structure by modifying and enhancing the algorithms developed in Part III. This section contains a discussion of the current research in linear and integer linear programming. The author also shows in Part V how to take different problem formulations and appropriately 'modify' them so that the algorithms from Part III are more efficient. Again, the projection and inverse projection concepts are used in Part V to present the current research in linear and integer linear optimization in a very unified way.

Book Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems  Second Edition

Download or read book Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems Second Edition written by Åke Björck and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The method of least squares, discovered by Gauss in 1795, is a principal tool for reducing the influence of errors when fitting a mathematical model to given observations. Applications arise in many areas of science and engineering. The increased use of automatic data capturing frequently leads to large-scale least squares problems. Such problems can be solved by using recent developments in preconditioned iterative methods and in sparse QR factorization. The first edition of Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems was the leading reference on the topic for many years. The updated second edition stands out compared to other books on this subject because it provides an in-depth and up-to-date treatment of direct and iterative methods for solving different types of least squares problems and for computing the singular value decomposition. It also is unique because it covers generalized, constrained, and nonlinear least squares problems as well as partial least squares and regularization methods for discrete ill-posed problems. The bibliography of over 1,100 historical and recent references provides a comprehensive survey of past and present research in the field. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and to researchers working with numerical linear algebra applications.

Book Least Squares Data Fitting with Applications

Download or read book Least Squares Data Fitting with Applications written by Per Christian Hansen and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lucid explanation of the intricacies of both simple and complex least squares methods. As one of the classical statistical regression techniques, and often the first to be taught to new students, least squares fitting can be a very effective tool in data analysis. Given measured data, we establish a relationship between independent and dependent variables so that we can use the data predictively. The main concern of Least Squares Data Fitting with Applications is how to do this on a computer with efficient and robust computational methods for linear and nonlinear relationships. The presentation also establishes a link between the statistical setting and the computational issues. In a number of applications, the accuracy and efficiency of the least squares fit is central, and Per Christian Hansen, Víctor Pereyra, and Godela Scherer survey modern computational methods and illustrate them in fields ranging from engineering and environmental sciences to geophysics. Anyone working with problems of linear and nonlinear least squares fitting will find this book invaluable as a hands-on guide, with accessible text and carefully explained problems. Included are • an overview of computational methods together with their properties and advantages • topics from statistical regression analysis that help readers to understand and evaluate the computed solutions • many examples that illustrate the techniques and algorithms Least Squares Data Fitting with Applications can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses and professionals in the sciences and in engineering.

Book Algorithms for Continuous Optimization

Download or read book Algorithms for Continuous Optimization written by Emilio Goiuseppe Spedicato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-05-31 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Algorithms for continuous optimiza tion: the state of the art" was held September 5-18, 1993, at II Ciocco, Barga, Italy. It was attended by 75 students (among them many well known specialists in optimiza tion) from the following countries: Belgium, Brasil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Turkey, UK, USA, Venezuela. The lectures were given by 17 well known specialists in the field, from Brasil, China, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, UK, USA. Solving continuous optimization problems is a fundamental task in computational mathematics for applications in areas of engineering, economics, chemistry, biology and so on. Most real problems are nonlinear and can be of quite large size. Devel oping efficient algorithms for continuous optimization has been an important field of research in the last 30 years, with much additional impetus provided in the last decade by the availability of very fast and parallel computers. Techniques, like the simplex method, that were already considered fully developed thirty years ago have been thoroughly revised and enormously improved. The aim of this ASI was to present the state of the art in this field. While not all important aspects could be covered in the fifty hours of lectures (for instance multiob jective optimization had to be skipped), we believe that most important topics were presented, many of them by scientists who greatly contributed to their development.
