If the relationship of $X$ to $Y$ can be approximated as quadratic (or any polynomial), the objective and constraints as linear in $Y$, then there is a way to express the optimization as a quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP). However, joint optimization is possible by increasing both $x_1$ and $x_2$ at the same time.

Choosing your loss function and optimizer Finally, in the last block of code, we must compile the model that we just built. We pass 3 parameters: loss, optimizer , and metrics. The goal here is to optimize the weights such that the loss is minimized. The class with the highest probability is the winner.

A naïve way to solve this problem would be to compare the proportion of buyers between the exposed and unexposed groups, using a simple test for equality of means. It should be noted that inverse probability weighting is not generally optimal (i.e., the curse of dimensionality).
