Using the random function for a statistical model of the objective function the minimization procedure is suggested. This algorithm is convergent on a discrete set. To avoid computational difficulties, the modified algorithm is defined by substituting the parameters of minimization procedure by their estimates.</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>global optimization</kwd><kwd>random noise</kwd><kwd>estimates of parameters</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
