    We describe Pyomo, an open-source tool for modeling optimization applications in Python. Pyomo can be used to define abstract problems, create concrete problem instances, and solve these instances with standard solvers. Pyomo provides a capability that is commonly associated with algebraic modeling languages like AMPL and GAMS. Pyomo leverages the capabilities of the Coopr software, … Read more

    Slice models are collections of mathematical programs with the same structure but different data. Examples of slice models appear in Data Envelopment Analysis, where they are used to evaluate efficiency, and cross-validation, where they are used to measure generalization ability. Because they involve multiple programs, slice models tend to be data-intensive and time consuming to … Read more
