Study Notes
Optimization without Restrictions
- Addresses problems where the goal is to minimize a function $f(x)$.
- $x$ is a variable in $n$-dimensional real space ($\mathbb{R}^{n}$).
- $f$ is a function that maps from $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ to real numbers ($\mathbb{R}$).
- $f$ is continuously differentiable.
Local Minimizer
- A point $\bar{x}$ is a local minimizer of $f$ if there's a range around $\bar{x}$ where $f(\bar{x})$ is the smallest value.
- This range is defined by a $\delta > 0$.
- For all $x$ within a distance of $\delta$ from $\bar{x}$ (i.e., $|x-\bar{x}| statistics describes the main features of a dataset through summarization and presentation, without drawing broad conclusions.
- It is a fundamental tool for analyzing and understanding data.
Descriptive Statistics Methods
- Frequency Tables: Tabulate how often each value appears in a dataset.
- Charts and Graphs: Visually display data patterns and distributions
- Measures of Central Tendency: Identify values of the dataset (mean, median, mode).
- Measures of Dispersion: Quantify the spread or variability within the data (range, variance, standard deviation).
Descriptive Statistics Applications
- Business: analyze sales trends and marketing effectiveness.
- Social sciences: study population demographics and public opinion.
- Health Sciences: Evaluate clinical trial results and disease patterns.
- Engineering : to ensure product quality and experimental results.
Example: Ages of 10 students
- Data set: 18, 20, 22, 19, 21, 20, 18, 23, 20, 19
Frequency Table of the Data Set
| Age | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 18 | 2 |
| 19 | 2 |
| 20 | 3 |
| 21 | 1 |
| 22 | 1 |
| 23 | 1 |
Measures of Central Tendency of the Data Set
- Mean (average): 20
- Median (middle value): 20
- Mode (most frequent value): 20
Measures of Dispersion
- Range (difference between max and min): 5
- Variance: 2.5
- Standard Deviation: 1.58
Descriptive Statistics Concluding Remarks
- Essential for extracting meaningful insights from raw data.
- Enables data-driven decision-making by highlighting key patterns.
