Avoiding Numerical Issues in Optimization Models
Avoiding Numerical Issues in Optimization Models
Models with numerical issues can lead to undesirable results: slow performance, wrong answers or inconsistent behavior.
Webinar Summary
Models with numerical issues can lead to undesirable results: slow performance, wrong answers or inconsistent behavior. When solving a model with numerical issues, tiny changes in the model or computer can make a big difference in the results. In this 45-minute long webinar, you will learn about Gurobi guidelines on numerical issues, how they impact your solutions and, most importantly, how to avoid them.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- What numerical issues are, including an overview of Gurobi guidelines
- The impact numerical issues can have on your solutions
- How to identify numerical issues within a model
- How to avoid (most of) them by reformulating your model
