optimize

Crates.io Documentation Build Status

This crate provides (non-linear) numerical optimization methods.

It is heavily based on scipy.optimize.

The crate is actively developed and expanded to include more methods.

A simple example follows:

```rust // Define a function that we aim to minimize let function = |x: ArrayView1| (1.0 - x[0]).powi(2) + 100.0 * (x[1] - x[0].powi(2)).powi(2);

// Create a minimizer using the builder pattern. If some of the parameters are not given, default values are used. let minimizer = NelderMeadBuilder::default() .xtol(1e-6f64) .ftol(1e-6f64) .maxiter(50000) .build() .unwrap();

// Set the starting guess let args = Array::from_vec(vec![3.0, -8.3]);

// Run the optimization let ans = minimizer.minimize(&function, args.view());

// Print the optimized values println!("Final optimized arguments: {}", ans); ```
