Method Detail

optimize

public double optimize(int maxEvaluations,
                       double boundsRange,
                       java.util.List<? extends Vertex> outputVertices)

maxAPosteriori

public double maxAPosteriori(int maxEvaluations,
                             double boundsRange)

Parameters:

maxEvaluations - throws an exception if the optimizer doesn't converge within this many evaluations

boundsRange - bounding box around starting point

Returns:

the natural logarithm of the Maximum a posteriori (MAP)

maxLikelihood

public double maxLikelihood(int maxEvaluations,
                            double boundsRange)

Parameters:

maxEvaluations - throws an exception if the optimizer doesn't converge within this many evaluations

boundsRange - bounding box around starting point

Returns:

the natural logarithm of the maximum likelihood
