A new algorithm for the group minimization problem (GP) is proposed. The algorithm can be broadly described as follows …-known algorithm of Glover, and checked for non-negativity. The first non-negative point is an optimal solution of (GP). Advantages and … disadvantages of the algorithm are discussed; in particular, the implementation of the algorithm (which can be easily extended so as …

number of possible approaches to these problems and develops a particular algorithm based on the work of Powell and Dennis …

objective function for the algorithm designer and a model of their information sets and interaction. We build such a model that … allows the training data to exhibit a wide range of "biases." Prevailing wisdom is that biased data change how the algorithm … is trained and whether an algorithm should be used at all. In contrast, we find two striking irrelevance results. First …

algorithm's treatment recommendation. We then show how these four moments can be estimated by extrapolating quasi … pretrial bail decisions. We first show that the selection challenge reduces to the challenge of measuring four moments: the … learning algorithm discriminates against Black defendants, even though defendant race and ethnicity are not included in the …

volume of data available. Yet comparing the algorithm to the judge proves complicated. First, the data are themselves … set of preferences than the single variable that the algorithm focuses on; for instance, judges may care about racial … well. In addition, by focusing the algorithm on predicting judges' decisions, rather than defendant behavior, we gain some …

three central questions that have parallels in the matching literature: (1) Does a stable allocation of votes always exists …? (2) Is it reachable through a decentralized algorithm? (3) What welfare properties does it possess? We prove that a … allocation achieved via sequential pairwise trades, but lends only weak support to the dynamic algorithm itself …
