Data Depth and Optimization Komei Fukuda fukuda@ifor.math.ethz.ch Vera Rosta rosta@renyi.hu In this short article‚ we consider the notion of data depth which generalizes the median to higher dimensions. Our main objective is to present a snapshot of the data depth‚ several closely related notions‚ associated optimization problems and algorithms. In particular‚ we briefly touch on our recent approaches to compute the data depth using linear and integer optimization programming. Although

Computer Simulation * A software program that runs on any computer that attempts to simulate some phenomenon based on a scientist’s conceptual and mathematical understanding of the given phenomenon. * The scientist’s conceptual understanding is reduced to an algorithmic or mathematical logic‚ which is then programmed in one of many programming languages (Fortran‚ C‚ C++‚ etc.) and compiled to produce a binary code that runs on a computer. * Have become a useful part of modeling many

Optimization is the problem of finding the best feasible solution to the problem. Optimization in healthcare is in the industry from past three decades. But now-a-days optimizations in healthcare have become noticeably and is attracting operation researchers because of the decreasing birth rates in nearly all the developed countries. Optimization has been applied in healthcare for various problems from operational level decisions to the designing of national healthcare policies. This case study

Portfolio Optimization A Selection of Stocks from the Heng Seng Index 17 August 2012 Introduction A typical investor purchases an asset with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in the future. Given the plethora of choices in the market‚ a rational investor would choose an investment with the highest expected return. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is the sixth largest stock exchange in the world with 1‚477 listed companies and a combined market capitalization of HKD 17 trillion

Introduction Markowitz (1952‚ 1956) pioneered the development of a quantitative method that takes the diversification benefits of portfolio allocation into account. Modern portfolio theory is the result of his work on portfolio optimization. Ideally‚ in a mean-variance optimization model‚ the complete investment opportunity set‚ i.e. all assets‚ should be considered simultaneously. However‚ in practice‚ most investors distinguish between different asset classes within their portfolio-allocation frameworks
