Interface BuildInitials

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultSimplex, UniformDistributionOverBox1, UniformDistributionOverBox2

public interface BuildInitials

Some optimization algorithms, e.g., Nelder-Mead, Differential-Evolution, require a set of initial points to work with. In case there are fewer initial points supplied, we need to generate more by, e.g., guessing.

Method Summary

Vector[]

getInitials(Vector... initials) Generate a set of initial points for optimization from the fewer than required points.

Method Detail

getInitials

Vector[] getInitials(Vector... initials)

Generate a set of initial points for optimization from the fewer than required points.

Parameters:

initials - initial points; null if no initial supplied

Returns:

a full set of initial points
