THE BAYES METHODS FOR SEEKING THE EXTREMAL POINT

Abstract

A number of problems in engineering and in the sciences may be formulated as involving a search for the extremal point of some multivariable utility function f. The Bayes method may be used for achieving this aim. This method has recently been applied to some problems for planning “extremal” experiments in chemistry and in agrophysics, and for the study of random processes and other fields.
