ucminf

R-CMD-check Downloads CRAN status

The goal of ucminf is to provide an algorithm for general-purpose unconstrained non-linear optimization. The algorithm is of quasi-Newton type with BFGS updating of the inverse Hessian and soft line search with a trust region type monitoring of the input to the line search algorithm. The interface of ucminf is designed for easy interchange with optim

Example

library(ucminf)
# Rosenbrock Banana function
fR <- function(x) (1 - x[1])^2 + 100 * (x[2] - x[1]^2)^2
gR <- function(x) c(-400 * x[1] * (x[2] - x[1] * x[1]) - 2 * (1 - x[1]),
                     200 * (x[2] - x[1] * x[1]))
