Constructor Detail

NelderMead

public NelderMead()

Build a Nelder-Mead optimizer with default coefficients.

The default coefficients are 1.0 for rho, 2.0 for khi and 0.5 for both gamma and sigma.

NelderMead

public NelderMead(double rho,
                  double khi,
                  double gamma,
                  double sigma)

Build a Nelder-Mead optimizer with specified coefficients.

Parameters:

rho - reflection coefficient

khi - expansion coefficient

gamma - contraction coefficient

sigma - shrinkage coefficient
