Abstract:
The report is concerned with developing new statistical techniques for nonlinear optimization including nonconvex optimization. The approach is a statistical one and provides an upper confidence limit for the global maximum of a mathematical function gx of a vector x in a multi-dimensional feasible space, say S. Specifically the report develops the statistical techniques for determining these confidence limits as well as algorithms implementing the techniques and computer programs executing the algorithms.
