Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within some constant factor of the optimal solution. Develop a basic understanding of how linear and integer ...

This article describes three approximation methods I used to solve the growth model (Model 1) studied by the National Bureau of Economic Research's nonlinear rational-expectations-modeling group ...

An approximation to the marginal likelihood of the ranks of a set of observations is used to analyse data. The observations, after some arbitrary monotone transformation, are assumed to be ...
