Applied Integer Programming

by Der-San Chen Yu Dang Robert G. Batson

An accessible treatment of the modeling and solution of integer programming problems, featuring modern applications and softwareIn order to fully comprehend the algorithms associated with integer programming, it is important to understand not only how algorithms work, but also why they work. Applied Integer Programming features a unique emphasis on this point, focusing on problem modeling and solution using commercial software. Taking an application-oriented approach, this book addresses the art and science of mathematical modeling related to the mixed integer programming (MIP) framework and discusses the algorithms and associated practices that enable those models to be solved most efficiently.The book begins with coverage of successful applications, systematic modeling procedures, typical model types, transformation of non-MIP models, combinatorial optimization problem models, and automatic preprocessing to obtain a better formulation. Subsequent chapters present algebraic and geometric basic concepts of linear programming theory and network flows needed for understanding integer programming. Finally, the book concludes with classical and modern solution approaches as well as the key components for building an integrated software system capable of solving large-scale integer programming and combinatorial optimization problems.Throughout the book, the authors demonstrate essential concepts through numerous examples and figures. Each new concept or algorithm is accompanied by a numerical example, and, where applicable, graphics are used to draw together diverse problems or approaches into a unified whole. In addition, features of solution approaches found in today's commercial software are identified throughout the book.Thoroughly classroom-tested, Applied Integer Programming is an excellent book for integer programming courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a well-organized reference for professionals, software developers, and analysts who work in the fields of applied mathematics, computer science, operations research, management science, and engineering and use integer-programming techniques to model and solve real-world optimization problems.

Applied Linear Algebra and Matrix Methods (Springer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics and Technology)

by Timothy G. Feeman

This textbook is designed for a first course in linear algebra for undergraduate students from a wide range of quantitative and data driven fields. By focusing on applications and implementation, students will be prepared to go on to apply the power of linear algebra in their own discipline. With an ever-increasing need to understand and solve real problems, this text aims to provide a growing and diverse group of students with an applied linear algebra toolkit they can use to successfully grapple with the complex world and the challenging problems that lie ahead. Applications such as least squares problems, information retrieval, linear regression, Markov processes, finding connections in networks, and more, are introduced on a small scale as early as possible and then explored in more generality as projects. Additionally, the book draws on the geometry of vectors and matrices as the basis for the mathematics, with the concept of orthogonality taking center stage. Important matrix factorizations as well as the concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors emerge organically from the interplay between matrix computations and geometry.The R files are extra and freely available. They include basic code and templates for many of the in-text examples, most of the projects, and solutions to selected exercises. As much as possible, data sets and matrix entries are included in the files, thus reducing the amount of manual data entry required.

Applied Linear Models with SAS

by Daniel Zelterman

This textbook for a second course in basic statistics for undergraduates or first-year graduate students introduces linear regression models and describes other linear models including Poisson regression, logistic regression, proportional hazards regression, and nonparametric regression. Numerous examples drawn from the news and current events with an emphasis on health issues illustrate these concepts. Assuming only a pre-calculus background, the author keeps equations to a minimum and demonstrates all computations using SAS. Most of the programs and output are displayed in a self-contained way, with an emphasis on the interpretation of the output in terms of how it relates to the motivating example. Plenty of exercises conclude every chapter. All of the datasets and SAS programs are available from the book's website, along with other ancillary material.

Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis: Modeling Change and Event Occurrence

by Judith D. Singer John B. Willett

Change is constant in everyday life. Infants crawl and then walk, children learn to read and write, teenagers mature in myriad ways, the elderly become frail and forgetful. Beyond these natural processes and events, external forces and interventions instigate and disrupt change: test scores may rise after a coaching course, drug abusers may remain abstinent after residential treatment. By charting changes over time and investigating whether and when events occur, researchers reveal the temporal rhythms of our lives. Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis is a much-needed professional book for empirical researchers and graduate students in the behavioral, social, and biomedical sciences. It offers the first accessible in-depth presentation of two of today's most popular statistical methods: multilevel models for individual change and hazard/survival models for event occurrence (in both discrete- and continuous-time). Using clear, concise prose and real data sets from published studies, the authors take you step by step through complete analyses, from simple exploratory displays that reveal underlying patterns through sophisticated specifications of complex statistical models. Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis offers readers a private consultation session with internationally recognized experts and represents a unique contribution to the literature on quantitative empirical methods.
