When the Newton–Raphson algorithm or the Fisher scoring algorithm does not work and the EM-type algorithms are not … available, the quadratic lower-bound (QLB) algorithm may be a useful optimization tool. However, like all EM-type algorithms … surrogate functions Qr(θ|θ(t)) that induces a class of QLB algorithms indexed by a ‘shrinkage parameter’ r (r∈R) and then to …

Geometric method-based procedures, which we will call GM algorithms hereafter, were introduced in M.A. Sánchez …, Phys. A 387 (2008) 5543–5551, to calculate the Hurst exponent of a time series. The authors proved that GM algorithms …, based on a geometrical approach, are more accurate than classical algorithms, especially with short length time series. The …

In this study, we present empirical analysis of statistical properties of mating networks in genetic algorithms (GAs … used in genetic algorithms. The experimental results suggest that the scaling exponent of the power-law degree distribution …

Algorithms (GA) are used to solve the optimal designs of DSVSI X¯ chart. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate …
