| Abstract: | The paper provides a statistical solution to a very general problem in non-linear programming. Specifically, it does not make any assumptions about the convexity (or, for that matter, quasiconvexity or pseudo-convexity) of any of the functions involved in the problem. On the other hand, it does not provide a guaranteed global optimum of the objective function, but is confined to: (a) The computation of a feasible and "near optimum" solution. (b) The computation of confidence limits between which the global optimum is guaranteed to lie with a specified statistical confidence coefficient. |
