I propose new combined randomized methods for global optimization problems. These methods are based on the Nested Partitions(NP) method, a useful method for simulation optimization which guarantees global optimal solution but has several shortcomings. To overcome these shortcomings I hired various statistical selection methods and combined with NP method. I first explain the NP method and statistical selection method. And after that I present a detail description of proposed new combined methods and show the results of an application. As well as, I show how these combined methods can be considered in case of computing budget limit problem.

Set-valued attributes appear in many applications to model complex objects occurring in the real world. One of the most important operations on set-valued attributes is the set join, because it provides a various method to express complex queries. Currently proposed set join algorithms are based on block nested loop join in which inverted files are partitioned horizontally into blocks. Evaluating these joins are expensive because they generate intermediate partial results severely and finally obtain the final results after merging partial results. In this paper, we present an efficient processing of set join algorithm. We propose a new set join algorithm that vertically partitions inverted files into blocks, where each block fits in memory, and performs block nested loop join without producing intermediate results. Our experiments show that the vertical bitmap nested set join algorithm outperforms previously proposed set join algorithms.
