Isotonic regression 保序回归
In numerical analysis, isotonic regression (IR) involves finding a weighted least-squares fit to a vector with weights vector subject to a set of non-contradictory constraints of the kind .
Such constraints define partial order or total order and can be represented as a directed graph , where N is the set of variables involved, and E is the set of pairs (i, j) for each constraint . Thus, the IR problem corresponds to the following quadratic program (QP):
