Lecture 11: Statistical Estimation (EE364a)

Professor

1:17:03·2008·graduate level

This lecture, part of Stanford's EE 364A, elucidates the application of statistical estimation techniques within the framework of convex optimization, detailing problem formulations and solution methodologies.

Professor Stephen Boyd, of the Stanford University Electrical Engineering department, lectures on how statistical estimation can be used in convex optimization for the course, Convex Optimization I (EE 364A).

Convex Optimization I concentrates on recognizing and solving convex optimization problems that arise in engineering. Convex sets, functions, and optimization problems. Basics of convex analysis. Least-squares, linear and quadratic programs, semidefinite programming, minimax, extremal volume, and other problems. Optimality conditions, duality theory, theorems of alternative, and applications. Interior-point methods. Applications to signal processing, control, digital and analog circuit design, computational geometry, statistics, and mechanical engineering.
