Newton method, invented by physicist Isaac Newton about 300 years ago, is an algorithm that still plays an important role in a wide range of fields, including logistics, financial engineering, ...

The expression commonly given in the literature for the inherent error involved in the Newton-Raphson method is incorrect. New criteria are here derived which may be ...

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 ...

For over three centuries, researchers have relied on a powerful algorithm developed by Isaac Newton to tackle complex problems in logistics, finance, computer vision, and even pure math. This simple ...

In addition to numerous matrix-multiplication routines, PROC MIXED frequently uses the sweep operator (Goodnight 1979) and the Cholesky root (Golub and Van Loan 1989). The routines perform a modified ...

Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a statistical model involves maximizing the likelihood or, equivalently, the log likelihood with respect to the parameters. The parameter values at ...

Crystal oscillators are notoriously difficult to simulate accurately. The nature of the Newton-Raphson algorithm, which all Spice-like simulators (HSpice, PSpice, Spectre, and Eldo) use, is difficult ...
