Maximum-Entropy Sampling: Algorithms and Application (Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering)

Maximum-Entropy Sampling: Algorithms and Application (Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering)

Jon Lee
0/5 ( ratings)
This monograph presents a comprehensive treatment of the maximum-entropy sampling problem , which is a fascinating topic at the intersection of mathematical optimization and data science. The text situates MESP in information theory, as the algorithmic problem of calculating a sub-vector of pre-specificed size from a multivariate Gaussian random vector, so as to maximize Shannon's differential entropy. The text collects and expands on state-of-the-art algorithms for MESP, and addresses its application in the field of environmental monitoring. While MESP is a central optimization problem in the theory of statistical designs , this book largely focuses on the unique challenges of its algorithmic side. From the perspective of mathematical-optimization methodology, MESP is rather unique , and the algorithmic techniques employed are highly non-standard. In particular, successful techniques come from several disparate areas within the field of mathematical optimization; for convex optimization and duality, semidefinite programming, Lagrangian relaxation, dynamic programming, approximation algorithms, 0/1 optimization , extended formulation, and many aspects of matrix theory. The book is mainly aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematical optimization and data analytics.
