Enhanced Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression: surface approximation for extremely small samples by Shapiai, Mohd. Ibrahim, Ibrahim, Zuwairie, Khalid, Marzuki, Jau, L. W., Pavlovich, V.

“…Insufficient samples may cause any approximation algorithm to result in unsatisfactory predictions. …”

Assembly line balancing and genetic algorithms by Cheshmehgaz, Hossein Rajabalipour, Jambak, Muhammad Ikhwan, Haron, Habibollah

“…Since the ALB problem falls into the NP-hard class of combinatorial optimization problems, numerous research efforts have been directed towards the development of computer efficient approximation algorithms or heuristics. In this context, GAs are intelligent random search mechanisms that are applied to various combinatorial optimization problems such as scheduling, TSP, and ALB. …”
