public class Minpack_f77
extends Object

This class contains Java translations of the MINPACK nonlinear least squares routines. As of November 2000, it does not yet contain the MINPACK solvers of systems of nonlinear equations. They should be added in the Spring of 2001.

The original FORTRAN MINPACK package was produced by Burton S. Garbow, Kenneth E. Hillstrom, and Jorge J. More as part of the Argonne National Laboratory MINPACK project, March 1980.

IMPORTANT: The "_f77" suffixes indicate that these routines use FORTRAN style indexing. For example, you will see

   for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
rather than
   for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
To use the "_f77" routines you will have to declare your vectors and matrices to be one element larger (e.g., v[101] rather than v[100], and a[101][101] rather than a[100][100]), and you will have to fill elements 1 through n rather than elements 0 through n - 1. Versions of these programs that use C/Java style indexing might eventually be available. They would end with the suffix "_j".

This class was translated by a statistician from FORTRAN versions of lmder and lmdif. It is NOT an official translation. It wastes memory by failing to use the first elements of vectors. When public domain Java optimization routines become available from the people who produced MINPACK, then THE CODE PRODUCED BY THE NUMERICAL ANALYSTS SHOULD BE USED.

Meanwhile, if you have suggestions for improving this code, please contact Steve Verrill at steve@ws13.fpl.fs.fed.us.

public static void lmder1_f77(optimization.Lmder_fcn nlls,
                              int m,
                              int n,
                              double[] x,
                              double[] fvec,

                              int[] ipvt)

The lmder1_f77 method minimizes the sum of the squares of m nonlinear functions in n variables by a modification of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. This is done by using the more general least-squares solver lmder_f77. The user must provide a method which calculates the functions and the Jacobian.

Translated by Steve Verrill on November 17, 2000 from the FORTRAN MINPACK source produced by Garbow, Hillstrom, and More.

Parameters:
nlls - A class that implements the Lmder_fcn interface (see the definition in Lmder_fcn.java). See LmderTest_f77.java for an example of such a class. The class must define a method, fcn, that must have the form public static void fcn(int m, int n, double x[], double fvec[], double fjac[][], int iflag[]) If iflag[1] equals 1, fcn calculates the values of the m functions [residuals] at x and returns this vector in fvec. If iflag[1] equals 2, fcn calculates the Jacobian at x and returns this matrix in fjac (and does not alter fvec). The value of iflag[1] should not be changed by fcn unless the user wants to terminate execution of lmder_f77. In this case set iflag[1] to a negative integer.
m - A positive integer set to the number of functions [number of observations]
n - A positive integer set to the number of variables [number of parameters]. n must not exceed m.
x - On input, it contains the initial estimate of the solution vector [the least squares parameters]. On output it contains the final estimate of the solution vector.
fvec - An output vector that contains the m functions [residuals] evaluated at x.
fjac - An output m by n array. The upper n by n submatrix of fjac contains an upper triangular matrix R with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude such that
                 t    t         t
                P (jac jac)P = R R,
where P is a permutation matrix and jac is the final calculated Jacobian. Column j of P is column ipvt[j] of the identity matrix. The lower trapezoidal part of fjac contains information generated during the computation of R.
tol - tol is a nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when the algorithm estimates either that the relative error in the sum of squares is at most tol or that the relative error between x and the solution is at most tol.
info - An integer output variable. If the user has terminated execution, info is set to the (negative) value of iflag[1]. See description of fcn. Otherwise, info is set as follows. info = 0 improper input parameters. info = 1 algorithm estimates that the relative error in the sum of squares is at most tol. info = 2 algorithm estimates that the relative error between x and the solution is at most tol. info = 3 conditions for info = 1 and info = 2 both hold. info = 4 fvec is orthogonal to the columns of the Jacobian to machine precision. info = 5 number of calls to fcn with iflag[1] = 1 has reached 100*(n+1). info = 6 tol is too small. No further reduction in the sum of squares is possible. info = 7 tol is too small. No further improvement in the approximate solution x is possible.
ipvt - An integer output array of length n. ipvt defines a permutation matrix P such that jac*P = QR, where jac is the final calculated Jacobian, Q is orthogonal (not stored), and R is upper triangular with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude. Column j of P is column ipvt[j] of the identity matrix.

Translated by Steve Verrill on November 3, 2000 from the FORTRAN MINPACK source produced by Garbow, Hillstrom, and More.

Parameters:
nlls - A class that implements the Lmder_fcn interface (see the definition in Lmder_fcn.java). See LmderTest_f77.java for an example of such a class. The class must define a method, fcn, that must have the form public static void fcn(int m, int n, double x[], double fvec[], double fjac[][], int iflag[]) If iflag[1] equals 1, fcn calculates the values of the m functions [residuals] at x and returns this vector in fvec. If iflag[1] equals 2, fcn calculates the Jacobian at x and returns this matrix in fjac (and does not alter fvec). The value of iflag[1] should not be changed by fcn unless the user wants to terminate execution of lmder_f77. In this case set iflag[1] to a negative integer.
m - A positive integer set to the number of functions [number of observations]
n - A positive integer set to the number of variables [number of parameters]. n must not exceed m.
x - On input, it contains the initial estimate of the solution vector [the least squares parameters]. On output it contains the final estimate of the solution vector.
fvec - An output vector that contains the m functions [residuals] evaluated at x.
fjac - An output m by n array. The upper n by n submatrix of fjac contains an upper triangular matrix R with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude such that
                 t    t         t
                P (jac jac)P = R R,
where P is a permutation matrix and jac is the final calculated Jacobian. Column j of P is column ipvt[j] of the identity matrix. The lower trapezoidal part of fjac contains information generated during the computation of R.
ftol - A nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when both the actual and predicted relative reductions in the sum of squares are at most ftol. Therefore, ftol measures the relative error desired in the sum of squares.
xtol - A nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when the relative error between two consecutive iterates is at most xtol. Therefore, xtol measures the relative error desired in the approximate solution.
gtol - A nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when the cosine of the angle between fvec and any column of the Jacobian is at most gtol in absolute value. Therefore, gtol measures the orthogonality desired between the function vector and the columns of the Jacobian.
maxfev - A positive integer input variable. Termination occurs when the number of calls to fcn with iflag[1] = 1 has reached maxfev.
diag - An vector of length n. If mode = 1 (see below), diag is internally set. If mode = 2, diag must contain positive entries that serve as multiplicative scale factors for the variables.
mode - If mode = 1, the variables will be scaled internally. If mode = 2, the scaling is specified by the input diag. Other values of mode are equivalent to mode = 1.
factor - A positive input variable used in determining the initial step bound. This bound is set to the product of factor and the euclidean norm of diag*x if nonzero, or else to factor itself. In most cases factor should lie in the interval (.1,100). 100 is a generally recommended value.
nprint - An integer input variable that enables controlled printing of iterates if it is positive. In this case, fcn is called with iflag[1] = 0 at the beginning of the first iteration and every nprint iterations thereafter and immediately prior to return, with x, fvec, and fjac available for printing. fvec and fjac should not be altered. If nprint is not positive, no special calls of fcn with iflag[1] = 0 are made.
info - An integer output variable. If the user has terminated execution, info is set to the (negative) value of iflag[1]. See description of fcn. Otherwise, info is set as follows. info = 0 improper input parameters. info = 1 both actual and predicted relative reductions in the sum of squares are at most ftol. info = 2 relative error between two consecutive iterates is at most xtol. info = 3 conditions for info = 1 and info = 2 both hold. info = 4 the cosine of the angle between fvec and any column of the Jacobian is at most gtol in absolute value. info = 5 number of calls to fcn with iflag[1] = 1 has reached maxfev. info = 6 ftol is too small. no further reduction in the sum of squares is possible. info = 7 xtol is too small. no further improvement in the approximate solution x is possible. info = 8 gtol is too small. fvec is orthogonal to the columns of the Jacobian to machine precision.
nfev - An integer output variable set to the number of calls to fcn with iflag[1] = 1.
njev - An integer output variable set to the number of calls to fcn with iflag[1] = 2.
ipvt - An integer output array of length n. ipvt defines a permutation matrix P such that jac*P = QR, where jac is the final calculated Jacobian, Q is orthogonal (not stored), and R is upper triangular with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude. column j of P is column ipvt[j] of the identity matrix.
qtf - An output array of length n which contains the first n elements of the vector (Q transpose)fvec.

                             double[][] a,
                             boolean pivot,

                             double[] wa)

The qrfac_f77 method uses Householder transformations with column pivoting (optional) to compute a QR factorization of the m by n matrix A. That is, qrfac_f77 determines an orthogonal matrix Q, a permutation matrix P, and an upper trapezoidal matrix R with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude, such that AP = QR.

Translated by Steve Verrill on November 17, 2000 from the FORTRAN MINPACK source produced by Garbow, Hillstrom, and More.

qrsolv_f77

public static void qrsolv_f77(int n,
                              double[][] r,
                              int[] ipvt,
                              double[] diag,
                              double[] qtb,

                              double[] sdiag,
                              double[] wa)

Given an m by n matrix A, an n by n diagonal matrix D, and an m-vector b, the problem is to determine an x which solves the system

    Ax = b ,     Dx = 0 ,
in the least squares sense.

This method completes the solution of the problem if it is provided with the necessary information from the QR factorization, with column pivoting, of A. That is, if AP = QR, where P is a permutation matrix, Q has orthogonal columns, and R is an upper triangular matrix with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude, then qrsolv_f77 expects the full upper triangle of R, the permutation matrix P, and the first n components of (Q transpose)b. The system

           Ax = b, Dx = 0, is then equivalent to
 
                 t     t
           Rz = Q b,  P DPz = 0 ,
where x = Pz. If this system does not have full rank, then a least squares solution is obtained. On output qrsolv_f77 also provides an upper triangular matrix S such that
            t  t              t
           P (A A + DD)P = S S .
S is computed within qrsolv_f77 and may be of separate interest.

Parameters:
n - The order of r.

lmpar_f77

public static void lmpar_f77(int n,
                             double[][] r,

                             double[] diag,
                             double[] qtb,
                             double delta,
                             double[] par,
                             double[] x,
                             double[] sdiag,
                             double[] wa1,
                             double[] wa2)

Given an m by n matrix A, an n by n nonsingular diagonal matrix D, an m-vector b, and a positive number delta, the problem is to determine a value for the parameter par such that if x solves the system

           A*x = b ,     sqrt(par)*D*x = 0
in the least squares sense, and dxnorm is the Euclidean norm of D*x, then either par is zero and
           (dxnorm-delta) <= 0.1*delta ,
or par is positive and
           abs(dxnorm-delta) <= 0.1*delta .
This method (lmpar_f77) completes the solution of the problem if it is provided with the necessary information from the QR factorization, with column pivoting, of A. That is, if AP = QR, where P is a permutation matrix, Q has orthogonal columns, and R is an upper triangular matrix with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude, then lmpar_f77 expects the full upper triangle of R, the permutation matrix P, and the first n components of (Q transpose)b. On output lmpar_f77 also provides an upper triangular matrix S such that
            t  t                t
           P (A A + par*DD)P = S S .
S is employed within lmpar_f77 and may be of separate interest.

Only a few iterations are generally needed for convergence of the algorithm. If, however, the limit of 10 iterations is reached, then the output par will contain the best value obtained so far.

Parameters:
n - The order of r.

tol - tol is a nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when the algorithm estimates either that the relative error in the sum of squares is at most tol or that the relative error between x and the solution is at most tol.
info - An integer output variable. If the user has terminated execution, info is set to the (negative) value of iflag[1]. See description of fcn. Otherwise, info is set as follows. info = 0 improper input parameters. info = 1 algorithm estimates that the relative error in the sum of squares is at most tol. info = 2 algorithm estimates that the relative error between x and the solution is at most tol. info = 3 conditions for info = 1 and info = 2 both hold. info = 4 fvec is orthogonal to the columns of the Jacobian to machine precision. info = 5 number of calls to fcn has reached or exceeded 200*(n+1). info = 6 tol is too small. No further reduction in the sum of squares is possible. info = 7 tol is too small. No further improvement in the approximate solution x is possible.

The lmdif_f77 method minimizes the sum of the squares of m nonlinear functions in n variables by a modification of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The user must provide a method that calculates the functions. The Jacobian is then calculated by a forward-difference approximation.

Parameters:
nlls - A class that implements the Lmdif_fcn interface (see the definition in Lmdif_fcn.java). See LmdifTest_f77.java for an example of such a class. The class must define a method, fcn, that must have the form public static void fcn(int m, int n, double x[], double fvec[], int iflag[]) The value of iflag[1] should not be changed by fcn unless the user wants to terminate execution of lmdif_f77. In this case set iflag[1] to a negative integer.
m - A positive integer set to the number of functions [number of observations]
n - A positive integer set to the number of variables [number of parameters]. n must not exceed m.
x - On input, it contains the initial estimate of the solution vector [the least squares parameters]. On output it contains the final estimate of the solution vector.
fvec - An output vector that contains the m functions [residuals] evaluated at x.
ftol - A nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when both the actual and predicted relative reductions in the sum of squares are at most ftol. Therefore, ftol measures the relative error desired in the sum of squares.
xtol - A nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when the relative error between two consecutive iterates is at most xtol. Therefore, xtol measures the relative error desired in the approximate solution.
gtol - A nonnegative input variable. Termination occurs when the cosine of the angle between fvec and any column of the Jacobian is at most gtol in absolute value. Therefore, gtol measures the orthogonality desired between the function vector and the columns of the Jacobian.
maxfev - A positive integer input variable. Termination occurs when the number of calls to fcn is at least maxfev by the end of an iteration.
epsfcn - An input variable used in determining a suitable step length for the forward-difference approximation. This approximation assumes that the relative errors in the functions are of the order of epsfcn. If epsfcn is less than the machine precision, it is assumed that the relative errors in the functions are of the order of the machine precision.
diag - An vector of length n. If mode = 1 (see below), diag is internally set. If mode = 2, diag must contain positive entries that serve as multiplicative scale factors for the variables.
mode - If mode = 1, the variables will be scaled internally. If mode = 2, the scaling is specified by the input diag. Other values of mode are equivalent to mode = 1.
factor - A positive input variable used in determining the initial step bound. This bound is set to the product of factor and the euclidean norm of diag*x if nonzero, or else to factor itself. In most cases factor should lie in the interval (.1,100). 100 is a generally recommended value.
nprint - An integer input variable that enables controlled printing of iterates if it is positive. In this case, fcn is called with iflag[1] = 0 at the beginning of the first iteration and every nprint iterations thereafter and immediately prior to return, with x and fvec available for printing. If nprint is not positive, no special calls of fcn with iflag[1] = 0 are made.
info - An integer output variable. If the user has terminated execution, info is set to the (negative) value of iflag[1]. See description of fcn. Otherwise, info is set as follows. info = 0 improper input parameters. info = 1 both actual and predicted relative reductions in the sum of squares are at most ftol. info = 2 relative error between two consecutive iterates is at most xtol. info = 3 conditions for info = 1 and info = 2 both hold. info = 4 the cosine of the angle between fvec and any column of the Jacobian is at most gtol in absolute value. info = 5 number of calls to fcn with iflag[1] = 1 has reached maxfev. info = 6 ftol is too small. no further reduction in the sum of squares is possible. info = 7 xtol is too small. no further improvement in the approximate solution x is possible. info = 8 gtol is too small. fvec is orthogonal to the columns of the Jacobian to machine precision.
nfev - An integer output variable set to the number of calls to fcn.
fjac - An output m by n array. The upper n by n submatrix of fjac contains an upper triangular matrix R with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude such that t t t P (jac *jac)P = R R, where P is a permutation matrix and jac is the final calculated Jacobian. Column j of P is column ipvt[j] (see below) of the identity matrix. The lower trapezoidal part of fjac contains information generated during the computation of R.
ipvt - An integer output array of length n. ipvt defines a permutation matrix P such that jac*P = QR, where jac is the final calculated Jacobian, Q is orthogonal (not stored), and R is upper triangular with diagonal elements of nonincreasing magnitude. column j of P is column ipvt[j] of the identity matrix.
qtf - An output array of length n which contains the first n elements of the vector (Q transpose)fvec.
