Abstract
A system and method for determining a result that includes a solution for a discrete non-linear optimization model for an optimization problem is disclosed. A non-linear relationship between a key performance indicator (KPI) to be optimized and at least one decision variable is determined using econometric modeling. A discrete optimization framework for the optimization problem is determined using a plurality of discrete values of decision variables of the optimization problem. A binary optimization framework is determined from the determined discrete optimization framework based on automatically revising an optimization equation of the discrete optimization framework. A continuous framework is determined from the determined binary optimization framework based on imposing additional constraints and based on modifying the optimization problem. The result is generated, and an action is controlled based on the result.
