Running Time Most algorithms transform input objects into output objects.The running time of an algorithm typically grows with the input size.Average case time is often difficult to determine.We focus on the worst case running time.
Easier to analyze Crucial to applications
such as games, finance, image,robotics, AI, etc.

Limitations of ExperimentsIt is necessary to implement the algorithm, which may be difficultResults may not be indicative of the running time on other inputs not included in the experiment. In order to compare two algorithms, the same hardware and software environments must be used
Analysis of Algorithms 17
Dr. Alagoz
Theoretical AnalysisUses a high-level description of the algorithm instead of an implementationCharacterizes running time as a function of the input size, n.Takes into account all possible inputsAllows us to evaluate the speed of an algorithm independent of the hardware/software environment

Let n = 2k for some k>0.Since n is even, n/2 = n/2 = 2k-1.
For n = 2k, T(2k) = 18 + T(2k-1).
Using repeated substitutionT(2k) = 18 + T(2k-1)
= 18 + 18 + T(2k-2) = 18 + 18 + 18 + T(2k-3) …= 18j + T(2k-j)
Substitution stops when k = jT(2k) = 18k + T(1)
= 18k + 20 + T(0)= 18k + 20 + 5= 18k + 25.
n = 2k then k = log2 n
T(2k) = 18 log2 n + 25

Analysis of Algorithms 35
Dr. Alagoz
Suppose n = 2k–1 for some k>0.Since n is odd, n/2 = (2k–1)/2 = (2k–2)/2= 2k-1
For n = 2k-1, T(2k-1) = 20 + T(2k-1-1), k>1.
Using repeated substitutionT(2k-1) = 20 + T(2k-1-1)
= 20 + 20 + T(2k-2-1) = 20 + 20 + 20 + T(2k-3-1) …= 20j + T(2k-j-1)
Substitution stops when k = jT(2k-1) = 20k + T(20-1)
= 20k + T(0)= 20k + 5.
n = 2k-1 then k = log2 (n+1)
T(n) = 20 log2 (n+1) + 5
Therefore, powerB 5 n=0
xn = 18+T(n/2) 0<n, n is even 20+T(n/2) 0<n, n is odd

Estimating Running TimeAlgorithm arrayMax executes 8n 2 primitive operations in the worst case. Define:a = Time taken by the fastest primitive operationb = Time taken by the slowest primitive
operationLet T(n) be worst-case time of arrayMax. Then
a (8n 2) T(n) b(8n 2)Hence, the running time T(n) is bounded by two linear functions
Analysis of Algorithms 40
Dr. AlagozAsymptotic Algorithm Analysis
The asymptotic analysis of an algorithm determines the running time in big-Oh notationTo perform the asymptotic analysis
We find the worst-case number of primitive operations executed as a function of the input size
We express this function with big-Oh notationExample:
We determine that algorithm arrayMax executes at most 8n 2 primitive operations
We say that algorithm arrayMax “runs in O(n) time”Since constant factors and lower-order terms are eventually dropped anyhow, we can disregard them when counting primitive operations
Analysis of Algorithms 41
Dr. AlagozGrowth Rate of Running Time
Changing the hardware/ software environment Affects T(n) by a constant factor, but Does not alter the growth rate of T(n)
The linear growth rate of the running time T(n) is an intrinsic property of algorithm arrayMax

Big-Oh and Growth RateThe big-Oh notation gives an upper bound on the growth rate of a functionThe statement “f(n) is O(g(n))” means that the growth rate of f(n) is no more than the growth rate of g(n)We can use the big-Oh notation to rank functions according to their growth rate
f(n) is O(g(n)) g(n) is O(f(n))g(n) grows more

We further illustrate asymptotic analysis with two algorithms for prefix averagesThe i-th prefix average of an array X is average of the first (i 1) elements of X:
A[i] X[0] X[1] … X[i])/(i+1)
Computing the array A of prefix averages of another array X has applications to financial analysis such as ARMA, ARIMA, FARIMA, models.
