Implementations of Grid Search and Newton-Raphson methods for numerical optimization. It includes Python scripts to compare their performance in maximizing mathematical functions ...

In a variety of problems involving models from genetics, latent-class analysis, and missing data, I apply a log-linear model to an indirectly observed frequency table. Current algorithms for ...

Abstract: In this paper a new method of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy based on Newton-Raphson algorithm is presented for photovoltaic (PV) power systems, which makes a high efficiency ...

Many economically important characteristics of agricultural crops are measured as ordinal traits. Statistical analysis of the genetic basis of ordinal traits appears to be quite different from regular ...
