Some common examples for conditions that guarantee this are tabulated in the following, with the LICQ the most frequently used one: The strict implications can be shown and In practice weaker constraint qualifications are preferred since they apply to a broader selection of problems. In some cases, the necessary conditions are also sufficient for optimality. In general,

The problem expressed in the previously given minimization form is and the KKT conditions are Since Q = 0 {\displaystyle Q=0} would violate the minimum profit constraint, we have Q > 0 {\displaystyle Q>0} and hence the third condition implies that the first condition holds with equality. Solving that equality gives Because it

1564-463: Is often modelled using the von Neumann–Morgenstern utility function of the uncertain variable of interest, such as end-of-period wealth. Since the value of this variable is uncertain, so is the value of the utility function; it is the expected value of utility that is maximized. A decision rule makes a choice using an optimality criterion. Some commonly used criteria are: Sound statistical practice requires selecting an estimator consistent with

1632-423: Is often more mathematically tractable than other loss functions because of the properties of variances , as well as being symmetric: an error above the target causes the same loss as the same magnitude of error below the target. If the target is t , then a quadratic loss function is for some constant C ; the value of the constant makes no difference to a decision, and can be ignored by setting it equal to 1. This

1768-528: Is referred to as Bayes Risk . In the latter equation, the integrand inside dx is known as the Posterior Risk , and minimising it with respect to decision a also minimizes the overall Bayes Risk. This optimal decision, a is known as the Bayes (decision) Rule - it minimises the average loss over all possible states of nature θ, over all possible (probability-weighted) data outcomes. One advantage of

1836-431: Is rewritten as a Lagrange function whose optimal point is a global maximum or minimum over the domain of the choice variables and a global minimum (maximum) over the multipliers. The Karush–Kuhn–Tucker theorem is sometimes referred to as the saddle-point theorem. The KKT conditions were originally named after Harold W. Kuhn and Albert W. Tucker , who first published the conditions in 1951. Later scholars discovered that

1972-462: Is the penalty for an incorrect classification of an example. In actuarial science , it is used in an insurance context to model benefits paid over premiums, particularly since the works of Harald Cramér in the 1920s. In optimal control , the loss is the penalty for failing to achieve a desired value. In financial risk management , the function is mapped to a monetary loss. Leonard J. Savage argued that using non-Bayesian methods such as minimax ,

Of equal importance though, the Bayes Rule reflects consideration of loss outcomes under different states of nature, θ. In economics, decision-making under uncertainty

In some contexts, the value of the loss function itself is a random quantity because it depends on the outcome of a random variable X .

Thus, in the applied use of loss functions, selecting which statistical method to use to model an applied problem depends on knowing the losses that will be experienced from being wrong under the problem's particular circumstances. A common example involves estimating " location ". Under typical statistical assumptions,

Then

3196-400: The desired values of all target variables. Often loss is expressed as a quadratic form in the deviations of the variables of interest from their desired values; this approach is tractable because it results in linear first-order conditions .

One then should choose the action a which minimises this expected loss, which

3468-403: The final sum tends to be the result of a few particularly large a -values, rather than an expression of the average a -value. The choice of a loss function is not arbitrary. It is very restrictive and sometimes the loss function may be characterized by its desirable properties. Among the choice principles are, for example, the requirement of completeness of the class of symmetric statistics in

The necessary conditions can be written with Jacobian matrices of

3740-448: The hierarchy. In statistics, typically a loss function is used for parameter estimation , and the event in question is some function of the difference between estimated and true values for an instance of data. The concept, as old as Laplace , was reintroduced in statistics by Abraham Wald in the middle of the 20th century. In the context of economics , for example, this is usually economic cost or regret . In classification , it

3808-421: The inequality constraints g j {\displaystyle g_{j}} are differentiable convex functions , the equality constraints h i {\displaystyle h_{i}} are affine functions , and Slater's condition holds. Similarly, if the objective function f {\displaystyle f} of a minimization problem is a differentiable convex function ,

3876-413: The loss function should be based on the idea of regret , i.e., the loss associated with a decision should be the difference between the consequences of the best decision that could have been made had the underlying circumstances been known and the decision that was in fact taken before they were known. The use of a quadratic loss function is common, for example when using least squares techniques. It

3944-532: The necessary conditions are also sufficient for optimality. It was shown by Martin in 1985 that the broader class of functions in which KKT conditions guarantees global optimality are the so-called Type 1 invex functions . For smooth, non-linear optimization problems, a second order sufficient condition is given as follows. The solution x ∗ , λ ∗ , μ ∗ {\displaystyle x^{*},\lambda ^{*},\mu ^{*}} found in

4012-523: The necessary conditions are not sufficient for optimality and additional information is required, such as the Second Order Sufficient Conditions (SOSC). For smooth functions, SOSC involve the second derivatives, which explains its name. The necessary conditions are sufficient for optimality if the objective function f {\displaystyle f} of a maximization problem is a differentiable concave function ,

4080-403: The necessary conditions can be written as: One can ask whether a minimizer point x ∗ {\displaystyle x^{*}} of the original, constrained optimization problem (assuming one exists) has to satisfy the above KKT conditions. This is similar to asking under what conditions the minimizer x ∗ {\displaystyle x^{*}} of

For risk-averse or risk-loving agents, loss is measured as the negative of a utility function , and the objective function to be optimized is the expected value of utility. Other measures of cost are possible, for example mortality or morbidity in the field of public health or safety engineering . For most optimization algorithms , it

In particular, Andranik Tangian showed that the most usable objective functions — quadratic and additive — are determined by a few indifference points. He used this property in the models for constructing these objective functions from either ordinal or cardinal data that were elicited through computer-assisted interviews with decision makers. Among other things, he constructed objective functions to optimally distribute budgets for 16 Westfalian universities and

It is obtained by taking the expected value with respect to the probability distribution , P θ , of the observed data, X .
