Non-Linear Minimization

baxy77bax has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have a question. I R there is function called nlm (Non-Linear Minimization function) and it takes a function and a start parameter. Example:

A <- function(f){
        lh(a=f,...(ther parameters))
}
B <- function(t){
        -log(t(f=t))
}
start = (some value)

nlm(B,p=c(start))

Is there something simmilar in perl and could someone be so kind to give an example?
Thnx

PDL::Opt::NonLinear Looks a lot like http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/nlm.html Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!} PS as a side note `hessian = FALSE` ! YEAH ! ;) update Corrected module link from metacpan to cpan, thanks to toolic and kennethk for pointing out the link was broken. (Not sure if this is more than vapourware)	[reply] [d/l]

Note from THE FUTURE: PDL::Opt::NonLinear (on MetaCPAN) works fine now.	[reply]

Try Statistics::R Search CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=nonlinear&mode=all etc.	[reply]
