1. Network optimization model with two sets
of nodes, that finds the best way to assign
each node in one set to each node in the other
set.correct answer Assignment Problem
2. A characteristic or measurement - for
example, a person's height or the color of
a car. Generally interchangeable with
"feature", and often with "covari-ate" or
"predictor". In the standard tabular format,
a column of data.correct answer Attribute
3. Regression technique using past values of
, time series data as predictors of future
values.correct answer Autoregression
4. Time series model that uses differences
between observations when data is
nonstationary. Also called Box-Jenkins.correct
answer Autoregressive integrated moving average
(ARIMA)
5. Variable selection process that starts with
all variables and then iterative-ly removes
the least-immediately-relevant variables from
the model.correct answer Backward
6. elimination

across multiple factors, that has the same
number of runs for all combinations of
levels of one or more factors.correct
answer - Balanced Design

(5)5Ccorrect answer5Bayes' theorem/Bayes'
10. rule
11. Model selection technique that trades off
model fit and model complexity. When
comparing models, the model with lower
BIC is preferred. Generally penalizes
complexity more than AIC.correct answer
Bayesian Information criterion (BIC)
12. Regression model that incorporates
estimates of how coefficients and error are
distributed.correct answer Bayesian Regression

that ensures optimality of a solu-tion.correct
, answer Bellman's Equation
14. Discrete probability distribution where the
outcome is binary, either 0 or 1. Often, 1
represents success and 0 represents
failure. The probability of the
