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 …

theory of cost and production to take account of this uncertainty. We then use this model to calculate the cost of empty …

theory of production, the equilibrium conditions implied by optimizing behavior, and exogenous influences on product demand …

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 in terms of model complexity or the number of predictors to accommodate. Each firm then appoints a data analyst that … uses the chosen algorithm to estimate demand for multiple consumer segments, based on which, it devises a targeting policy …
