Hi there,
I was about to write a Newton optimizer (that uses the Hessian) and I came across the quasi-newton optimizer in the IMP gsl module. It says it's not well tested. Has anyone been using it lately? How is it? Should I code a true Newton optimizer?
thanks!
Yannick
I don't think the gsl Newton optimizer has been used for any real work. It is just there because adding it was almost free.
