Khachiyan, and recently Karmarkar, gave polynomial algorithms to solve the linear programming problem. These algorithms have a small theoretical drawback; namely, the number of arithmetic steps ...

The sensor may be narrowband enough that part of your measured function is just whatever slice of the blackbody radiation curve it's seeing. If you factor that out, you might be back to mostly linear.

We investigate the extension of the nonparametric regression technique of local polynomial fitting with a kernel weight to generalized linear models and quasi-likelihood contexts. In the ordinary ...
