Introduction to GTP

This paper introduces the GTP algorithm, which is a method for estimating the number of tanks in a tank farm. The algorithm is based on the mathematical principle of maximum likelihood estimation. The paper also discusses the implementation of the GTP algorithm and provides some results from experiments.

Questions

• How should �N depend on m1, m2 (min/max observed) and k (number of tanks observed)?
• What are the advantages of using the GTP algorithm?
• What are the limitations of the GTP algorithm?

Answers

• �N should depend on m1, m2, and k in a way that maximizes the likelihood of the observed data.
• The advantages of using the GTP algorithm include its simplicity, its accuracy, and its scalability.
• The limitations of the GTP algorithm include its sensitivity to the choice of parameters and its computational complexity.
