Once the choice of criteria for agreement has been made, the next step is to adjust the parameters of the model to minimize the disagreement (or maximize the agreement) between the model and the data. The literature on optimization in numerical analysis and operations research, discussed in IT C Chapters 8.1![[link]](/graphics/greenarr.gif)

, is very rich. The methods can be characterized by their use of gradient information (no gradients, first derivatives, or second derivatives), by their search strategy (none, downhill, random, annealed, or a combination of these), and by various performance measures on different classes of problems. These will be discussed more fully in Section 18.1.8.
