Interface BuildInitials

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultSimplex, UniformDistributionOverBox1, UniformDistributionOverBox2

public interface BuildInitials
extends java.io.Serializable

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

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Vector[]	getInitials(Vector... initials) Generate a set of initial points for optimization from the fewer than required points.

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
