Abstract
A method comprises: partitioning a region of interest into a plurality of soft bin regions that span the region of interest; estimating an integral over each soft bin region of a function defined over the region of interest; and outputting a value equal to or derived from the sum of the estimated integrals over the soft bin regions spanning the region of interest. The method may further comprise: integrating a Bayesian theorem function using the partitioning, estimating, and outputting operations, and classifying an object to be classified using a classifier trained using the Bayesian machine learning. The method may further comprise performing optimal control by iteratively minimizing a controlled system cost function to determine optimized control inputs using the partitioning, estimating, and outputting with the function equal to the controlled system cost function having the selected control inputs, and controlling the controlled system using the optimized control inputs.
