How to determine an optimal 'currency basket' which minimizes the risk due to possible currency fluctuations. Optimization of Thermal Spray Coating Formation. What is the width distribution after several coatings and how to find an optimal number of passes. Table of contents. Many optimization problems emerge from statistics and data analysis.
Optimization is an important part of statistical calculations and nonlinear regression particularly.
This book considers the problem of sum of squares of residuals minimization in detail. Different algorithms for the SS minimizations and other related computational issues are also considered.
