Description for Optimization Heuristics in Econometrics and Statistics
Hardcover. Global and combinatorial optimization heuristics are widely used in different areas ranging from engineering to operational research. This introduction to the fast growing field of optimization heuristics offers the knowledge to use the techniques in a number of different application areas. Series: Wiley Series in Probability & Statistics: Applied Probability & Statistics Section. Num Pages: 358 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: KCH; PBT; PBU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 241 x 164 x 25. Weight in Grams: 672.
Many problems in statistics and econometrics offer themselves naturally to the use of optimization heuristics. Standard methods applied to highly complex problems often produce approximate results, of unknown quality, based on heavy assumptions. Optimization heuristic methods provide powerful results to many complex problems, combined with relatively simple implementation. The techniques used in optimization heurisitics can be applied to problems encountered in econometrics, statistics and operations research.
* Offers a self-contained introduction to optimization heuristics in econometrics and statistics
* Features many examples of optimization heuristic methods applied to real problems
* Includes detailed coverage of the threshold ... Read more
