Detailed Description

Implements Powell optimization using Brent line search.

The code in this class was adapted from the Wikipedia and the netlib.org zeroin function.

http://www.netlib.org/go/zeroin.f http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_section_search

This optimizer needs a cost function. Partial derivatives of that function are not required.

For an N-dimensional parameter space, each iteration minimizes(maximizes) the function in N (initially orthogonal) directions. Typically only 2-5 iterations are required. If gradients are available, consider a conjugate gradient line search strategy.

The SetStepLength determines the initial distance to step in a line direction when bounding the minimum (using bracketing triple spaced using a golden search strategy).

The StepTolerance terminates optimization when the parameter values are known to be within this (scaled) distance of the local extreme.

The ValueTolerance terminates optimization when the cost function values at the current parameters and at the local extreme are likely (within a second order approximation) to be within this is tolerance.

Given a bracketing triple of points and their function values, returns a bounded extreme. These values are in parameter space, along the current line and wrt the current origin set via SetLine. Optimization terminates based on MaximumIteration, StepTolerance, or ValueTolerance. Implemented as Brent line optimers from NRC.

The LineBracket routine from NRC. Later reimplemented from the description of the method available in the Wikipedia.

Uses current origin and line direction (from SetLine) to find a triple of points (ax, bx, cx) that bracket the extreme "near" the origin. Search first considers the point StepLength distance from ax.

IMPORTANT: The value of ax and the value of the function at ax (i.e., fa), must both be provided to this function.
