... efficient clustering methods is K-means, as it has linear time complexity and is simple to implement. However, it suffers from gets trapped in local optima. Therefore, many methods have been produced by hybridizing K-means and other methods. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method that hybridizes ...

Delay Differential Equations
... If hn is bigger than a lag τj , one of the arguments of y(tn + αm hn − τj ) may be bigger than tn . The term is then not defined and the “explicit” RK formula is implicit. Some codes limit hn to make the formula explicit, but this can be very inefficient. Predict values for the delayed terms using t ...

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.
