Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

Algorithm design strategies such as divide and conquer. Elementary techniques for analysis; asymptotic analysis, recursion equations, estimation methods, elementary combinatorial arguments.

In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimation of a general two-level structural equation model with an unbalanced design is formulated as a missing data problem by treating the latent random ...

This paper considers the design and analysis of algorithms for vehicle routing and scheduling problems with time window constraints. Given the intrinsic difficulty of this problem class, approximation ...

The design of a hiring algorithm can impact diversity outcomes, according to Danielle Li, an MIT professor and co-author of the working paper.

We also show that the algorithm’s effectiveness at mitigating the Airbnb revenue gap is limited by the low rate of algorithm adoption among Black hosts. We offer recommendations with which policy ...
