Applications of Combinatorial Programming to Data Analysis: The Traveling Salesman and Related Problems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hubert, Lawrence J.; Baker, Frank B. – Psychometrika, 1978
The "Traveling Salesman" and similar combinatorial programming tasks encountered in operations research are discussed as possible data analysis models in psychology, for example, in developmental scaling, Guttman scaling, profile smoothing, and data array clustering. A short overview of various computational approaches from this area of…

Solving the Quadratic Capacitated Facilities Location Problem by Computer.
Cote, Leon C.; Smith, Wayland P. – 1973
Several computer programs were developed to solve various versions of the quadratic capacitated facilities location problem. Matrices, which represent various business costs, are defined for the factors of sites, facilities, customers, commodities, and production units. The objective of the program is to find an optimization matrix for the lowest…
