point are summarized in a table that is referred to as a tableau.

A tableau is useful because there are numerous calculations to keep track of: a tableau
summarizes the results of each iteration.Among the information contained in a tableau
are
the values of all basic variables (the nonbasic variables have values of zero), the value of

Once an LP model has been expressed in tableau form, the initial simplex tableau can be
developed.
In order to be able to refer in a general objective function at that extreme point, and
whether or not the solution is optimal. If a solution

with ever-improving endent variable to be predicted or explained by other independent
variables. Dependence
techniques include multiple regression analysis, discriminant analysis, MANOVA,
and conjoint analysis. For example, many businesses today are very interested in
predicting
dependent variables like customer loyalty, or high-volume customers versus light users
(e.g., heavy vs. light consumers of Starbucks coffee), on the basis of numerous
independent
variables. Multiple discriminantsolutions, until the optimal extreme point has been
identified.
In LP problems that have all less-than-or-equal-to constraints, the standard form and
the tableau form are the same. That is not the case for problems that have equal-to or
greater-than-or-equal-to constraints. A later section will address those kinds of
constraints

Factor analysis is used to summarize the information contained in a large number of variables into a
smaller number of subsets called factors.
Cluster analysis is used to classify respondents
