George Bernard Dantzig, a Stanford University mathematics professor for three decades whose groundbreaking Simplex Algorithm has been used by industry to find the most efficient means to manufacture ...

George Dantzig, who has died aged 90, was a mathematician who created the algorithm responsible for linear programming, now a vital tool in industry and computing; in 1980, it was estimated to be by ...

In 1939, George Dantzig was pursuing a doctoral programme in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he studied statistics under Jerzy Neyman. Of all his achievements, a ...

The Dantzig selector (DS) is a recent approach of estimation in high-dimensional linear regression models with a large number of explanatory variables and a relatively small number of observations. As ...

The Dantzig selector performs variable selection and model fitting in linear regression. It uses an L 1 penalty to shrink the regression coefficients towards zero, in a similar fashion to the lasso.
