[jira] [Updated] (MATH-1092) NonLinearConjugateGradientOptimizer's
Line search is a gradient search returns obviously suboptimal point.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1092?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Ajo Fod updated MATH-1092:
--------------------------
Description:
In package : org.apache.commons.math3.optim.nonlinear.scalar.gradient
In a minimization problem, a line search should not return a point where the value is greater than the values at the edges of the interval. The line search violates this obvious requirement by focusing solely on solving for gradient=0 and ignoring the value.
Moreover why not use the BrentOptimizer? Its a reasonably well tested piece of code that does just what LinesearchFunction is supposed to do.
