What is non-linear data?
- bigger_cheese 10y agoData derived from non linear inputs. That is to say problems that can't be expressed by linear functions. I.e. Y= mx + B is a linear function. Y= ax^2 + bx + C is a polynomial (non linear) function. Linear Programming (LP) involves solving a series of linear equations (something like Excel's Solver can do this). When you are dealing with non linear functions you need to use a method such as Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP).
