{"product_id":"9781611974393","title":"MM Optimization Algorithms","description":"\u003cp\u003eOffers an overview of the MM principle, a device for deriving optimization algorithms satisfying the ascent or descent property. These algorithms can:  Separate the variables of a problem.  Avoid large matrix inversions.  Linearize a problem.  Restore symmetry. Deal with equality and inequality constraints gracefully.  Turn a non-differentiable problem into a smooth problem.    The author:   Presents the first extended treatment of MM algorithms, which are ideal for high-dimensional optimization problems in data mining, imaging, and genomics.   Derives numerous algorithms from a broad diversity of application areas, with a particular emphasis on statistics, biology, and data mining. Summarizes a large amount of literature that has not reached book form before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIAM - SOCIETY FOR INDUSTRIAL AND APPLIED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47436480708660,"sku":"9781611974393","price":188.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781611974393.jpg?v=1774739901","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9781611974393","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
