hence from the mathematical viewpoint are far more complicated structures–spatial graphs. The study of graphs embedded in space is known as spatial graph theory, and researchers such as Flapan have obtained good results by applying it to chemical problems. However, in biological systems, proteins are often associated with membranes, meaning that some portions of the molecule are prevented from interacting with others. In the case of a simple loop, the virtual knot theory of Kauffman provides a mathematical

learning opportunity for our students. Yes, this really did happen in a major metropolitan area in the U.S. [ASSUMPTIONS] 1. Your team has been hired by the Arts Festival to help them, because Mark and the drug store are suing the Festival. 2. You were hired, because the Festival’s leadership cannot do this for themselves. What that means for you is that they do not need generic answers. They need specifics. For example, do not explain what “readiness to change” means. Instead, assess

in models with missing data or latent variables. A straightforward application of EM is collaborative filtering (CF): using data from multiple agents to predict unreported values. In this paper, we show a simple method of applying EM to a large CF problem: predicting ratings in the Netflix Prize dataset. 1 Auxiliary Functions EM belongs to a general class1 of optimization algorithms using successive locally approximating auxiliary functions. For an objective function f : X → R, call g : X ×

Research Homework #3 Solutions – Fall 2002 1. Revised Simplex Method Consider the LP problem Maximize subject to z = 3 x1 − x2 + 2 x3 x1 + x2 + x3 ≤ 15 2 x1 − x2 + x3 ≤ 2 − x1 + x2 + x3 ≤ 4 x j ≥ 0, j = 1, 2,3 a. Let x4 , x5 , &, x6 denote the slack variables for the three constraints, and write the LP with equality constraints. Answer: Maximize z = 3 x1 − x2 + 2 x3 subject to x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 15 2 x1 − x2 + x3 + x5 = 2 − x1 + x2 + x3 + x6 = 4 x j ≥ 0, j = 1, 2,3, 4,5, 6 After several iterations of
