GA-FreeCell: Evolving Solvers for the Game of FreeCell
... varying difficulty levels. We will show that not only do we solve 98% of the Microsoft 32K problem set, a result far better than the best solver on record, but we also do so significantly more efficiently in terms of time to solve, space (number of nodes expanded), and solution length (number of nod ...

Linear Models in Econometrics
... The OLS estimator will provide a ‘good’ estimator of β0 under the assumptions above, where the crucial and most stringent assumptions are the LIP and Exogeneity (or the stronger condition ZCM) such that β0 satisfies (12). By a good estimator we mean one which satisfies a set of favourable statistica ...

Expectation–maximization algorithm
In statistics, an expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm is an iterative method for finding maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates of parameters in statistical models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. The EM iteration alternates between performing an expectation (E) step, which creates a function for the expectation of the log-likelihood evaluated using the current estimate for the parameters, and a maximization (M) step, which computes parameters maximizing the expected log-likelihood found on the E step. These parameter-estimates are then used to determine the distribution of the latent variables in the next E step.
