Global Likelihood Optimization Via the Cross-Entropy Method, with an Application to Mixture Models
Global likelihood maximization is an important aspect of many statistical analyses. Often the likelihood function is highly multi-extremal. This presents a significant challenge t...

Parallel radial basis function methods for the global optimization of expensive functions
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...

A Globally Convergent Augmented Lagrangian Pattern Search Algorithm for Optimization with General Constraints and Simple Bounds
We give a pattern search method for nonlinearly constrained optimization that is an adaption of a bound constrained augmented Lagrangian method first proposed by Conn, Gould, and T...
