1 Introduction

1.2 1.1 What is ALGLIB

ALGLIB is a cross-platform numerical analysis and data mining library. It supports several programming languages (C++, C#, Pascal, VBA) and several operating systems (Windows, *nix family).

ALGLIB features include:

Data analysis (classification/regression, including neural networks)
Optimization and nonlinear solvers
Interpolation and linear/nonlinear least-squares fitting
Linear algebra (direct algorithms, EVD/SVD), direct and iterative linear solvers, Fast Fourier Transform and many other algorithms (numerical integration, ODEs, statistics, special functions)

ALGLIB Project (the company behind ALGLIB) delivers to you several editions of ALGLIB:

ALGLIB Free Edition - full functionality but limited performance
ALGLIB Commercial Edition - high-performance version of ALGLIB

Free Edition is a serial version without multithreading support or extensive low-level optimizations (generic C or C# code). Commercial Edition is a heavily optimized version of ALGLIB. It supports multithreading, it was extensively optimized, and (on Intel platforms) - our commercial users may enjoy precompiled version of ALGLIB which internally calls Intel MKL to accelerate low-level tasks. We obtained license from Intel corp., which allows us to integrate Intel MKL into ALGLIB, so you don't have to buy separate license from Intel.

1.2 1.1 ALGLIB license

ALGLIB Free Edition is distributed under GPL 2+, GPL license version 2 or at your option any later version. A copy of the GNU General Public License is available at http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses

ALGLIB Commercial Edition is distributed under license which is friendly to commericial users. A copy of the commercial license can be found at http://www.alglib.net/commercial.php.

1.4 Reference Manual and User Guide

ALGLIB Project provides two sources of information: ALGLIB Reference Manual (this document) and ALGLIB User Guide.

ALGLIB Reference Manual contains full description of all publicly accessible ALGLIB units accompanied with examples. Reference Manual is focused on the source code: it documents units, functions, structures and so on. If you want to know what unit YYY can do or what subroutines unit ZZZ contains Reference Manual is a place to go. Free software needs free documentation - that's why ALGLIB Reference Manual is licensed under BSD-like documentation license.

Additionally to the Reference Manual we provide you User Guide. User Guide is focused on more general questions: how fast ALGLIB is? how reliable it is? what are the strong and weak sides of the algorithms used? We aim to make ALGLIB User Guide an important source of information both about ALGLIB and numerical analysis algorithms in general. We want it to be a book about algorithms, not just software documentation. And we want it to be unique - that's why ALGLIB User Guide is distributed under less-permissive personal-use-only license.

1.5 Acknowledgements

ALGLIB was not possible without contribution of the next open source projects:

We also want to thank developers of the Intel's local development center (Nizhny Novgorod branch) for their help during MKL integration.

2 ALGLIB structure

2.1 Packages

ALGLIB is a C++ interface to the computational core written in C. Both C library and C++ wrapper are automatically generated by code generation tools developed within ALGLIB project. Pre-3.0 versions of ALGLIB included more than 100 units, but it was difficult to work with such large number of files. Since ALGLIB 3.0 all units are merged into 11 packages and two support units:

alglibmisc.cpp - contains different algorithms which are hard to classify
dataanalysis.cpp - contains data mining algorithms
diffequations.cpp - contains differential equation solvers
fasttransforms.cpp - contains FFT and other related algorithms
integration.cpp - contains numerical integration algorithms
interpolation.cpp - contains interpolation algorithms
linalg.cpp - contains linear algebra algorithms
optimization.cpp - contains optimization algorithms
solvers.cpp - contains linear and nonlinear solvers
specialfunctions.cpp - contains special functions
statistics.cpp - statistics
alglibinternal.cpp - contains internal functions which are used by other packages, but not exposed to the external world
ap.cpp - contains publicly accessible vector/matrix classes, most important and general functions and other "basic" functionality

One package may rely on other ones, but we have tried to reduce number of dependencies. Every package relies on ap.cpp and many packages rely on alglibinternal.cpp. But many packages require only these two to work, and many other packages need significantly less than 13 packages. For example, statistics.cpp requires two packages mentioned above and only one additional package - specialfunctions.cpp.

2.2 Subpackages

There is one more concept to learn - subpackages. Every package was created from several source files. For example (as of ALGLIB 3.0.0), linalg.cpp was created by merging together 14 .cpp files (C++ interface) and 14 .c files (computational core). These files provide different functionality: one of them calculates triangular factorizations, another generates random matrices, and so on. We've merged source code, but what to do with their documentation?

Of course, we can merge their documentation (as we've merged units) in one big list of functions and data structures, but such list will be hard to read. Instead, we have decided to merge source code, but leave documentation separate.

If you look at the list of ALGLIB packages, you will see that each package includes several subpackages. For example, linalg.cpp includes trfac, svd, evd and other subpackages. These subpackages do no exist as separate files, namespaces or other entities. They are just subsets of one large unit which provide significantly different functionality. They have separate documentation sections, but if you want to use svd subpackage, you have to include linalg.h, not svd.h.

2.3 Open Source and Commercial versions

ALGLIB comes in two versions - open source (GPL-licensed) and commercial (closed source) one. Both versions have same functionality, i.e. may solve same set of problems. However, commercial version differs from open source one in following aspects:

License. Commercial ALGLIB is licensed under non-copyleft license which is friendly to commercial users.
Performance. Many algorithms in commercial ALGLIB are multi-threaded and SSE-optimized (when used on Intel systems). Open source ALGLIB is single-threaded and can not efficiently use modern multicore CPU's.
You have to study comments on specific functions if you want to know whether they have multithreaded versions or not.

This documentation applies to both versions of ALGLIB. Detailed description of commercial version can be found below.

3 Compatibility

3.1 CPU

ALGLIB is compatible with any CPU which:

supports double precision arithmetics
complies with IEEE 754 floating point standard (especially in its handling of IEEE special values)
either big-endian or little-endian (but not mixed-endian)

Most mainstream CPU's (in particular, x86, x86_64 and SPARC) satisfy these requirements.

As for Intel architecture, ALGLIB works with both FPU-based and SSE-based implementations of floating point math. 80-bit internal representation used by Intel FPU is not a problem for ALGLIB.

3.2 OS

ALGLIB for C++ (both open source and commercial versions) can be compiled in OS-agnostic mode (no OS-specific preprocessor definitions), when it is compatible with any OS which supports C++98 standard library. In particular, it will work under any POSIX-compatible OS and under Windows.

If you want to use multithreaded capabilities of commercial version of ALGLIB, you should compile it in OS-specific mode by #defining either AE_OS=AE_WINDOWS or AE_OS=AE_POSIX at compile time, depending on OS being used. Former corresponds to any modern OS (32/64-bit Windows XP and later) from Windows family, while latter means almost any POSIX-compatible OS. It applies only to commercial version of ALGLIB. Open source version is always OS-agnostic, even in the presence of OS-specific definitions.

3.3 Compiler

ALGLIB is compatible with any C++ compiler which:

supports 32-bit and 64-bit signed integer datatypes
emits code which handles comparisons with IEEE special values without raising exception. We don't require that x/0 will return INF. But at least we must be able to compare double precision value with infinity or NAN without raising exception.

All modern compilers (in particular, reasonably new versions of MSVC, GCC and Sun Studio) satisfy these requirements.

However, some very old compilers (ten years old version of Borland C++ Builder, for example) may emit code which does not correctly work with IEEE special values. If you use one of these old compilers, we recommend you to run ALGLIB test suite to ensure that library works.

3.4 Optimization settings

ALGLIB is compatible with any kind of optimizing compiler as long as:

volatile modifier is correctly handled (i.e. compiler does not optimize volatile reads/writes)
optimized code correctly handles IEEE special values

Generally, all kinds of optimization that were marked by compiler vendor as "safe" are possible. For example, ALGLIB can be compiled:

under MSVC: with /O1, /O2, /Og, /Os, /Ox, /Ot, /Oy, /fp:precise, /fp:except, /fp:strict
under GCC: with -O1, -O2, -O3, -Os

From the other side, following "unsafe" optimizations will break ALGLIB:

under MSVC: /fp:fast
under GCC: -Ofast, -ffast-math

4 Compiling ALGLIB

4.1 Adding to your project

Adding ALGLIB to your project is easy - just pick packages you need and... add them to your project! Under most used compilers (GCC, MSVC, Sun Studio) it will work without any additional settings. In other cases you will need to define several preprocessor definitions (this topic will be detailed below), but everything will still be simple.

By "adding to your project" we mean that you should a) compile .cpp files with the rest of your project, and b) include .h files you need. Do not include .cpp files - these files must be compiled separately, not as part of some larger source file. The only files you should include are .h files, stored in the /src folder of the ALGLIB distribution.

As you see, ALGLIB has no project files or makefiles. Why? There are several reasons:

first, because many ALGLIB users don't need separate static library (which will be created by invoking makefile) - they prefer to integrate source code in their projects. We have provided script-based build system before, but majority of our users prefer to build ALGLIB themselves.
second, because we want ALGLIB to be usable in any programming environment, whether it is Visual Studio, GNU build system or something else. The best solution is to write package which doesn't depend on any particular programming environment.

In any case, compiling ALGLIB is so simple that even without project file you can do it in several minutes.

4.2 Configuring for your compiler

If you use modern versions of MSVC, GCC or Sun Studio, you don't need to configure ALGLIB at all. But if you use outdated versions of these compilers (or something else), then you may need to tune definitions of several data types:

alglib_impl::ae_int32_t - signed integer which is 32 bits wide
alglib_impl::ae_int64_t - signed integer which is 64 bits wide
alglib_impl::ae_int_t - signed integer which has same width as pointer

ALGLIB tries to autodetect your compiler and to define these types in compiler-specific manner:

ae_int32_t is defined as int, because this type is 32 bits wide in all modern compilers.
ae_int64_t is defined as _int64 (MSVC) or as signed long long (GCC, Sun Studio).
ae_int_t is defined as ptrdiff_t.

In most cases, it is enough. But if anything goes wrong, you have several options:

if your compiler provides stdint.h, you can define AE_HAVE_STDINT conditional symbol
alternatively, you can manually define AE_INT32_T and/or AE_INT64_T and/or AE_INT_T symbols. Just assign datatype name to them, and ALGLIB will automatically use your definition. You can define only one or two types (those which are not defined automatically).

4.3 Improving performance (CPU-specific and OS-specific optimizations)

You can improve performance of ALGLIB in a several ways:

by compiling with advanced optimization turned on
by telling ALGLIB about CPU it will run on

ALGLIB has two-layered structure: some set of basic performance-critical primitives is implemented using optimized code, and the rest of the library is built on top of these primitives. By default, ALGLIB uses generic C code to implement these primitives (matrix multiplication, decompositions, etc.). This code works everywhere from Intel to SPARC. However, you can tell ALGLIB that it will work under particular architecture by defining appropriate macro at the global level:

defining AE_CPU=AE_INTEL - to tell ALGLIB that it will work under Intel

When AE_CPU macro is defined and equals to the AE_INTEL, it enables SSE2 support. ALGLIB will use cpuid instruction to determine SSE2 presence at run-time and - in case we have SSE2 - to use SSE2-capable code. ALGLIB uses SSE2 intrinsics which are portable across different compilers and efficient enough for most practical purposes. As of ALGLIB 3.4, SSE2 support is available for MSVC, GCC and Sun Studio users only.

5 Working with commercial version

5.1 Benefits of commercial version

Commercial version of ALGLIB for C++ features four important improvements over open source one:

License. Commercial license used by ALGLIB is friendly to closed source applications. Unlike GPL, it does not require you to open source your application. Thus, almost any commercial software developer is interested in obtaining commercial license.
Low-level optimizations. Commercial version of ALGLIB includes SSE-optimized versions of many computationally intensive functions. In particular, commercial version of neural networks outperforms open source one with 2-3x increase in speed - even without multithreading! It allows to increase performance on Intel/AMD platforms while still being able to use software under non-x86 CPU's.
Multithreading. Commercial version of ALGLIB can utilize multicore capabilities of modern CPU's. Large computational problems can be automatically split between different cores. ALGLIB uses its own multithreading framework which does not depend on vendor/compiler support for technologies like OpenMP/MPI/... It gives ALGLIB unprecedented portability across operating systems and compilers.
Integrated Intel MKL. Commercial version of ALGLIB includes special MKL extensions - special lightweight distribution of Intel MKL, high-performance numerical analysis library, accompanied by ALGLIB-MKL interface. We obtained license from Intel which allows us to integrate MKL into ALGLIB distribution. Linking with MKL accelerates many ALGLIB functions, however due to license restrictions you can not use MKL directly (i.e. bypass ALGLIB interface between your program and MKL).

5.2 Working with SSE support (Intel/AMD users)

ALGLIB for C++ can utilize SSE2 set of instructions supported by all modern Intel and AMD x86 processors. This feature is optional and must be explicitly turned on during compile-time. If you do not activate it, ALGLIB will use generic C code, without any processor-specific assembly/intrinsics.

Thus, if you turn on this feature, your code will run faster on x86_32 and x86_64 processors, but will be unportable to non-x86 platforms (and Intel MIC platform, which is not exactly x86 and does not support SSE!). From the other side, if you do not activate this feature, your code will be portable to almost any modern CPU (SPARC, ARM, ...).

In order to turn on x86-specific optimizations, you should define AE_CPU=AE_INTEL preprocessor definition at global level. It will tell ALGLIB to use SSE intrinsics supported by GCC, MSVC and Intel compilers. Additionally you should tell compiler to generate SSE-capable code. It can be done in the project settings of your IDE or in the command line:


GCC example:
> g++ -msse2 -I. -DAE_CPU=AE_INTEL *.cpp -lm

MSVC example:
> cl /I. /EHsc /DAE_CPU=AE_INTEL *.cpp

5.3 Using multithreading

Commercial version of ALGLIB includes out-of-the-box support for multithreading. Many (not all) computationally intensive problems can be solved in multithreaded mode. You should read comments on specific ALGLIB functions to determine what can be multithreaded and what can not.

ALGLIB does not depend on vendor/compiler support for technologies like OpenMP/MPI/... Under Windows ALGLIB uses OS threads and custom synchronization framework. Under POSIX-compatible OS (Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, ...) ALGLIB uses POSIX Threads (standard *nix library which is shipped with any POSIX system) with its threading and synchronization primitives. It gives ALGLIB unprecedented portability across operating systems and compilers. ALGLIB does not depend on presence of any custom multithreading library or compiler support for any multithreading technology.

If you want to use multithreaded capabilities of ALGLIB, you should:

compile it in OS-specific mode (ALGLIB have to know what OS it is running on)
tell ALGLIB about number of worker threads to use
call multithreaded versions of computational functions

Let explain it in more details...

1. You should compile ALGLIB in OS-specific mode by #defining either AE_OS=AE_WINDOWS or AE_OS=AE_POSIX at compile time, depending on OS being used. Former corresponds to any modern OS (32/64-bit Windows XP and later) from Windows family, while latter means almost any POSIX-compatible OS. When compiling on POSIX, do not forget to link ALGLIB with libpthread library.

2. ALGLIB automatically determines number of cores on application startup. On Windows it is done using GetSystemInfo() call. On POSIX systems ALGLIB performs sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) system call. This system call is supported by all modern POSIX-compatible systems: Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.

By default, ALGLIB uses all available cores except for one. Say, on 4-core system it will use three cores - unless being told to use more or less. It will keep your system responsive during lengthy computations. Such behavior may be changed with setnworkers() call:

alglib::setnworkers(0) = use all cores
alglib::setnworkers(-1) = leave one core unused
alglib::setnworkers(-2) = leave two cores unused
alglib::setnworkers(+2) = use 2 cores (even if you have more)

You may want to specify maximum number of worker threads during compile time by means of preprocessor definition AE_NWORKERS=N. You can add this definition to compiler command line or change corresponding project settings in your IDE. Here N can be any positive number. ALGLIB will use exactly N worker threads, unless being told to use less by setnworkers() call.

Some old POSIX-compatible operating systems do not support sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) system call which is required in order to automatically determine number of active cores. On these systems you should specify number of cores manually at compile time. Without it ALGLIB will run in single-threaded mode.

3. When you use commercial edition of ALGLIB, you may choose between serial and multithreaded versions of SMP-capable functions:

serial version works as usual, in the context of the calling thread
multithreaded version (with smp_ prefix in its name) creates (or wakes up) worker threads, inserts task in the worker queue, and waits for completion of the task. All processing is done in context of worker thread(s).

You should carefully decide what version of function to use. Starting/stopping worker thread costs tens of thousands of CPU cycles. Thus you won't get multithreading speedup on small computational problems.

5.3.1 SMT (CMT/hyper-threading) issues

Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) also known as Hyper-threading (Intel) and Cluster-based Multithreading (AMD) is a CPU design where several (usually two) logical cores share resources of one physical core. Say, on dual-core system with 2x HT scale factor you will see 4 logical cores. Each pair of these 4 cores, however, share same hardware resources. Thus, you may get only marginal speedup when running highly optimized software which fully utilizes CPU resources.

Say, if one thread occupies floating-point unit, another thread on the same physical core may work with integer numbers at the same time without any performance penalties. In this case you may get some speedup due to having additional cores. But if both threads keep FPU unit 100% busy, they won't get any multithreaded speedup.

So, if 2 math-intensive threads are dispatched by OS scheduler to different physical cores, you will get 2x speedup due to use of multithreading. But if these threads are dispatched to different logical cores - but same physical core - you won't get any speedup at all! One physical core will be 100% busy, and another one will be 100% idle. From the other side, if you start four threads instead of two, your system will be 100% utilized independently of thread scheduling details.

Let we stress it one more time - multithreading speedup on SMT systems is highly dependent on number of threads you are running and decisions made by OS scheduler. It is not 100% deterministic! With "true SMP" when you run 2 threads, you get 2x speedup (or 1.95, or 1.80 - it depends on algorithm, but this factor is always same). With SMT when you run 2 threads you may get your 2x speedup - or no speedup at all. Modern OS schedulers do a good job on single-socket hardware, but even in this "simple" case they give no guarantees of fair distribution of hardware resources. And things become a bit tricky when you work with multi-socket hardware. On SMT systems the only guaranteed way to 100% utilize your CPU is to create as many worker threads as there are logical cores. In this case OS scheduler has no chance to make its work in a wrong way.

5.4 Linking with Intel MKL

5.4.1 Using lightweight Intel MKL supplied by ALGLIB Project

Commercial edition of ALGLIB includes MKL extensions - special lightweight distribution of Intel MKL, highly optimized numerical library from Intel - and precompiled ALGLIB-MKL interface libraries. Linking your programs with MKL extensions allows you to run ALGLIB with maximum performance.

Current version of ALGLIB features Windows-only MKL extensions, but in future ALGLIB releases we will introduce MKL extensions for Linux systems.

Unlike the rest of the library, MKL extensions are distributed in binary-only form. ALGLIB itself is still distributed in source code form, but Intel MKL and ALGLIB-MKL interface are distributed as precompiled dynamic/static libraries. We can not distribute them in source because of license restrictions associated with Intel MKL. Also due to license restrictions we can not give you direct access to MKL functionality. You may use MKL to accelerate ALGLIB - without paying for MKL license - but you may not call its functions directly. It is technically possible, but strictly prohibited by both MKL's EULA and ALGLIB License Agreement. If you want to work with MKL, you should buy separate license from Intel.

MKL extensions are located in the /cpp/mkl-windows subdirectory of the ALGLIB distribution. This directory includes:

mkl4alglib_32.lib - 32-bit import library for Intel MKL
mkl4alglib_32.dll - 32-bit external DLL with Intel MKL
mkl4alglib_64.lib - 64-bit import library for Intel MKL
mkl4alglib_64.dll - 64-bit external DLL with Intel MKL

In order to activate MKL extensions you should:

compile ALGLIB source files with following preprocessor symbols defined on at global level:
    AE_OS=AE_WINDOWS (to activate multithreading capabilities)
    AE_CPU=AE_INTEL (to use SSE instructions provided by x86/x64 CPU's)
    AE_MKL (to use Intel MKL functions in ALGLIB)
If you compile from command line, you may write "/DAE_OS=AE_WINDOWS /DAE_CPU=AE_INTEL /DAE_MKL"
depending on CPU architecture, choose 32-bit or 64-bit LIB file - mkl4alglib_32/64.lib - and link it with your application.
place mkl4alglib_32/64.dll into directory where it can be found during application startup (usually - application dir)

Examples on linking from command line can be found in the next section.

5.4.2 Using your own installation of Intel MKL

If you bought separate license for Intel MKL, and want to use your own installation of MKL - and not our lightweight distribution - then you should compile ALGLIB as it was told in the previous section, with all necessary preprocessor definitions. But instead of linking with mkl4alglib dynamic library, you should add to your project mkl4alglib.c file from mkl-interface directory and compile it (as C file) along with the rest of ALGLIB.

This C file implements interface between MKL and ALGLIB. Having this file in your project and defining AE_MKL preprocessor definition results in ALGLIB using MKL functions.

However, this C file is just interface! It is your responsibility to make sure that C/C++ compiler can find MKL headers, and appropriate MKL static/dynamic libraries are linked to your application.

If you link ALGLIB with your own installation if Intel MKL, you may do so on any OS where MKL works - Windows or Linux.

5.5 Examples - compiling commercial edition of ALGLIB

5.5.1 Introduction

In this section we'll consider different compilation scenarios for commercial version of ALGLIB - from simple platform-agnostic compilation to linking with MKL extensions.

We assume that you unpacked ALGLIB distribution in the current directory and saved here demo.cpp file, whose code is given below. Thus, in the current directory you should have exactly one file (demo.cpp) and exactly one subdirectory (cpp folder with ALGLIB distribution).

5.5.2 Compiling under Windows

File listing below contains the very basic program which uses ALGLIB to perform matrix-matrix multiplication. After that program evaluates performance of GEMM (function being called) and prints result to console. We'll show how performance of this program continually increases as we add more and more sophisticated compiler options.

demo.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "LinAlg.h"

double counter()
{
    return 0.001*GetTickCount();
}

int main()
{
    alglib::real_2d_array a, b, c;
    int n = 2000;
    int i, j;
    double timeneeded, flops;
    
    // Initialize arrays
    a.setlength(n, n);
    b.setlength(n, n);
    c.setlength(n, n);
    for(i=0; i<n; i++)
        for(j=0; j<n; j++)
        {
            a[i][j] = alglib::randomreal()-0.5;
            b[i][j] = alglib::randomreal()-0.5;
            c[i][j] = 0.0;
        }
    
    // Set number of worker threads: "4" means "use 4 cores".
    // This line is ignored if AE_OS is UNDEFINED.
    alglib::setnworkers(4);
    
    // Perform matrix-matrix product.
    // We call function with "smp_" prefix, which means that ALGLIB
    // will try to execute it in parallel manner whenever it is possible.
    flops = 2*pow((double)n, (double)3);
    timeneeded = counter();
    alglib::smp_rmatrixgemm(
        n, n, n,
        1.0,
        a, 0, 0, 0,
        b, 0, 0, 1,
        0.0,
        c, 0, 0);
    timeneeded = counter()-timeneeded;
    
    // Evaluate performance
    printf("Performance is %.1f GFLOPS\n", (double)(1.0E-9*flops/timeneeded));
    
    return 0;
}

Examples below cover Windows compilation from command line with MSVC. It is very straightforward to adapt them to compilation from MSVC IDE - or to another compilers. We assume that you already called %VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat batch file which loads 64-bit build environment (or its 32-bit counterpart). We also assume that current directory is clean before example is executed (i.e. it has ONLY demo.cpp file and cpp folder). We used 3.2 GHz 4-core CPU for this test.

First example covers platform-agnostic compilation without optimization settings - the most simple way to compile ALGLIB. However, in platform-agnostic mode ALGLIB is unable to use all performance related features present in commercial edition.

We starts from copying all cpp and h files to current directory, then we will compile them along with demo.cpp. In this and following examples we will omit compiler output for the sake of simplicity.

OS-agnostic mode, no compiler optimizations

> copy cpp\src\*.* .
> cl /I. /EHsc /Fedemo.exe *.cpp
> demo.exe
Performance is 0.7 GFLOPS

Well, 0.7 GFLOPS is not very impressing for a 3.2GHz CPU... Let's add /Ox to compiler parameters.

OS-agnostic mode, /Ox optimization

> copy cpp\src\*.* .
> cl /I. /EHsc /Fedemo.exe /Ox *.cpp
> demo.exe
Performance is 0.9 GFLOPS

Still not impressed. Let's turn on optimizations for x86 architecture: define AE_CPU=AE_INTEL.

OS-agnostic mode, ALGLIB knows it is x86/x64

> copy cpp\src\*.* .
> cl /I. /EHsc /Fedemo.exe /Ox /DAE_CPU=AE_INTEL *.cpp
> demo.exe
Performance is 4.5 GFLOPS

It is good, but we have 4 cores - and only one of them was used. Defining AE_OS=AE_WINDOWS allows ALGLIB to use Windows threads to parallelize execution of some functions.

ALGLIB knows it is Windows on x86/x64 CPU

> copy cpp\src\*.* .
> cl /I. /EHsc /Fedemo.exe /Ox /DAE_CPU=AE_INTEL /DAE_OS=AE_WINDOWS *.cpp
> demo.exe
Performance is 16.0 GFLOPS

Not bad. And now we are ready to the final test - linking with MKL extensions.

Linking with MKL extensions differs a bit from standard way of linking with ALGLIB. ALGLIB itself is compiled with one more preprocessor definition: we define AE_MKL symbol. We also link ALGLIB with appropriate (32-bit or 64-bit) mkl4alglib static library, which is import library for special lightweight MKL distribution, shipped with ALGLIB for no additional price. We also should copy to current directory appropriate mkl4alglib DLL file which contains Intel MKL.

Linking with MKL extensions

> copy cpp\src\*.* .
> copy cpp\mkl-windows\mkl4alglib_64.lib .
> copy cpp\mkl-windows\mkl4alglib_64.dll .
> cl /I. /EHsc /Fedemo.exe /Ox /DAE_CPU=AE_INTEL /DAE_OS=AE_WINDOWS /DAE_MKL demo.cpp mkl4alglib_64.lib
> demo.exe
Performance is 33.1 GFLOPS

From 0.7 GFLOPS to 33.1 GFLOPS - you may see that commercial version of ALGLIB is really worth it!

6 Using ALGLIB

6.1 Thread-safety

Both open source and commercial versions of ALGLIB are 100% thread-safe as long as different user threads work with different instances of objects/arrays. Thread-safety is guaranteed by having no global shared variables.

However, any kind of sharing ALGLIB objects/arrays between different threads is potentially hazardous. Even when this object is seemingly used in read-only mode!

Say, you use ALGLIB neural network NET to process two input vectors X0 and X1, and get two output vectors Y0 and Y1. You may decide that neural network is used in read-only mode which does not change state of NET, because output is written to distinct arrays Y. Thus, you may want to process these vectors from parallel threads.

But it is not read-only operation, even if it looks like this! Neural network object NET allocates internal temporary buffers, which are modified by neural processing functions. Thus, sharing one instance of neural network between two threads is thread-unsafe!

6.2 Global definitions

ALGLIB defines several conditional symbols (all start with "AE_" which means "ALGLIB environment") and two namespaces: alglib_impl (contains computational core) and alglib (contains C++ interface).

Although this manual mentions both alglib_impl and alglib namespaces, only alglib namespace should be used by you. It contains user-friendly C++ interface with automatic memory management, exception handling and all other nice features. alglib_impl is less user-friendly, is less documented, and it is too easy to crash your system or cause memory leak if you use it directly.

6.3 Datatypes

ALGLIB (ap.h header) defines several "basic" datatypes (types which are used by all packages) and many package-specific datatypes. "Basic" datatypes are:

alglib::ae_int_t - signed integer type used by library
alglib::complex - double precision complex datatype, safer replacement for std::complex
alglib::ap_error - exception which is thrown by library
boolean_1d_array - 1-dimensional boolean array
integer_1d_array - 1-dimensional integer array
real_1d_array - 1-dimensional real (double precision) array
complex_1d_array - 1-dimensional complex array
boolean_2d_array - 2-dimensional boolean array
integer_2d_array - 2-dimensional integer array
real_2d_array - 2-dimensional real (double precision) array
complex_2d_array - 2-dimensional complex array

Package-specific datatypes are classes which can be divided into two distinct groups:

"struct-like" classes with public fields which you can access directly.
"object-like" classes which have no public fields. You should use ALGLIB functions to work with them.

6.4 Constants

The most important constants (defined in the ap.h header) from ALGLIB namespace are:

alglib::machineepsilon - small number which is close to the double precision &eps;, but is slightly larger
alglib::maxrealnumber - very large number which is close to the maximum real number, but is slightly smaller
alglib::minrealnumber - very small number which is close to the minimum nonzero real number, but is slightly larger
alglib::fp_nan - NAN (non-signalling under most platforms except for PA-RISC, where it is signalling; but when PA-RISC CPU is in its default state, it is silently converted to the quiet NAN)
alglib::fp_posinf - positive infinity
alglib::fp_neginf - negative infinity

6.5 Functions

The most important "basic" functions from ALGLIB namespace (ap.h header) are:

alglib::randomreal() - returns random real number from [0,1)
alglib::randominteger(mx) - returns random integer number from [0,nx); mx must be less than RAND_MAX
alglib::fp_eq(v1,v2) - makes IEEE-compliant comparison of two double precision numbers. If numbers are represented with greater precision than specified by IEEE 754 (as with Intel 80-bit FPU), this functions converts them to 64 bits before comparing.
alglib::fp_neq(v1,v2) - makes IEEE-compliant comparison of two double precision numbers.
alglib::fp_less(v1,v2) - makes IEEE-compliant comparison of two double precision numbers.
alglib::fp_less_eq(v1,v2) - makes IEEE-compliant comparison of two double precision numbers.
alglib::fp_greater(v1,v2) - makes IEEE-compliant comparison of two double precision numbers.
alglib::fp_greater_eq(v1,v2) - makes IEEE-compliant comparison of two double precision numbers.
alglib::fp_isnan - checks whether number is NAN
alglib::fp_isposinf - checks whether number is +INF
alglib::fp_isneginf - checks whether number is -INF
alglib::fp_isinf - checks whether number is +INF or -INF
alglib::fp_isfinite - checks whether number is finite value (possibly subnormalized)

6.6 Working with vectors and matrices

ALGLIB (ap.h header) supports matrixes and vectors (one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays) of variable size, with numeration starting from zero.

Everything starts from array creation. You should distinguish the creation of array class instance and the memory allocation for the array. When creating the class instance, you can use constructor without any parameters, that creates an empty array without any elements. An attempt to address them may cause the program failure.

You can use copy and assignment constructors that copy one array into another. If, during the copy operation, the source array has no memory allocated for the array elements, destination array will contain no elements either. If the source array has memory allocated for its elements, destination array will allocate the same amount of memory and copy the elements there. That is, the copy operation yields into two independent arrays with indentical contents.

You can also create array from formatted string like "[]", "[true,FALSE,tRUe]", "[[]]]" or "[[1,2],[3.2,4],[5.2]]" (note: '.' is used as decimal point independently from locale settings).

alglib::boolean_1d_array b1;
b1 = "[true]";

alglib::real_2d_array r2("[[2,3],[3,4]]");
alglib::real_2d_array r2_1("[[]]");
alglib::real_2d_array r2_2(r2);
r2_1 = r2;

alglib::complex_1d_array c2;
c2 = "[]";
c2 = "[0]";
c2 = "[1,2i]";
c2 = "[+1-2i,-1+5i]";
c2 = "[ 4i-2,  8i+2]";
c2 = "[+4i-2, +8i+2]";
c2 = "[-4i-2, -8i+2]";

After an empty array has been created, you can allocate memory for its elements, using the setlength() method. The content of the created array elements is not defined. If the setlength method is called for the array with already allocated memory, then, after changing its parameters, the newly allocated elements also become undefined and the old content is destroyed.

alglib::boolean_1d_array b1;
b1.setlength(2);

alglib::integer_2d_array r2;
r2.setlength(4,3);

Another way to initialize array is to call setcontent() method. This method accepts pointer to data which are copied into newly allocated array. Vectors are stored in contiguous order, matrices are stored row by row.

alglib::real_1d_array r1;
double _r1[] = {2, 3};
r1.setcontent(2,_r1);

alglib::real_2d_array r2;
double _r2[] = {11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23};
r2.setcontent(2,3,_r2);

To access the array elements, an overloaded operator() or operator[] can used. That is, the code addressing the element of array a with indexes [i,j] can look like a(i,j) or a[i][j].

alglib::integer_1d_array a("[1,2,3]");
alglib::integer_1d_array b("[3,9,27]");
a[0] = b(0);

alglib::integer_2d_array c("[[1,2,3],[9,9,9]]");
alglib::integer_2d_array d("[[3,9,27],[8,8,8]]");
d[1][1] = c(0,0);

You can access contents of 1-dimensional array by calling getcontent() method which returns pointer to the array memory. For historical reasons 2-dimensional arrays do not provide getcontent() method, but you can use create reference to any element of array. 2-dimensional arrays store data in row-major order with aligned rows (i.e. generally distance between rows is not equal to number of columns). You can get stride (distance between consequtive elements in different rows) with getstride() call.

alglib::integer_1d_array a("[1,2]");
alglib::real_2d_array b("[[0,1],[10,11]]");

alglib::ae_int_t *a_row = a.getcontent();

// all three pointers point to the same location
double *b_row0 = &b[0][0];
double *b_row0_2 = &b(0,0);
double *b_row0_3 = b[0];

// advancing to the next row of 2-dimensional array
double *b_row1 = b_row0 + b.getstride();

Finally, you can get array size with length(), rows() or cols() methods:

alglib::integer_1d_array a("[1,2]");
alglib::real_2d_array b("[[0,1],[10,11]]");

printf("%ld\n", (long)a.length());
printf("%ld\n", (long)b.rows());
printf("%ld\n", (long)b.cols());

6.7 Using functions: 'expert' and 'friendly' interfaces

Most ALGLIB functions provide two interfaces: 'expert' and 'friendly'. What is the difference between two? When you use 'friendly' interface, ALGLIB:

tries to automatically determine size of input arguments
throws an exception when arguments have inconsistent size (for example, square matrix is expected, but non-square is passed; another example - two parameters must have same size, but have different size)
if semantics of input parameter assumes that it is symmetric/Hermitian matrix, checks that lower triangle is equal to upper triangle (conjugate of upper triangle) and throws an exception otherwise
if semantics of output parameter assumes that it is symmetric/Hermitian matrix, returns full matrix (both upper and lower triangles)

When you use 'expert' interface, ALGLIB:

requires caller to explicitly specify size of input arguments. If vector/matrix is larger than size being specified (say, N), only N leading elements are used
if semantics of input parameter assumes that it is symmetric/Hermitian matrix, uses only upper or lower triangle of input matrix and requires caller to specify what triangle to use
if semantics of output parameter assumes that it is symmetric/Hermitian matrix, returns only upper or lower triangle (when you look at specific function, it is clear what triangle is returned)

Here are several examples of 'friendly' and 'expert' interfaces:

#include "interpolation.h"

...

alglib::real_1d_array    x("[0,1,2,3]");
alglib::real_1d_array    y("[1,5,3,9]");
alglib::real_1d_array   y2("[1,5,3,9,0]");
alglib::spline1dinterpolant s;

alglib::spline1dbuildlinear(x, y, 4, s);  // 'expert' interface is used
alglib::spline1dbuildlinear(x, y, s);     // 'friendly' interface - input size is
                                          // automatically determined

alglib::spline1dbuildlinear(x, y2, 4, s); // y2.length() is 5, but it will work

alglib::spline1dbuildlinear(x, y2, s);    // it won't work because sizes of x and y2
                                          // are inconsistent

'Friendly' interface - matrix semantics:

#include "linalg.h"

...

alglib::real_2d_array a;
alglib::matinvreport  rep;
alglib::ae_int_t      info;

// 
// 'Friendly' interface: spdmatrixinverse() accepts and returns symmetric matrix
// 

// symmetric positive definite matrix
a = "[[2,1],[1,2]]";

// after this line A will contain [[0.66,-0.33],[-0.33,0.66]]
// which is symmetric too
alglib::spdmatrixinverse(a, info, rep); 

// you may try to pass nonsymmetric matrix
a = "[[2,1],[0,2]]";

// but exception will be thrown in such case
alglib::spdmatrixinverse(a, info, rep);

Same function but with 'expert' interface:

#include "linalg.h"

...

alglib::real_2d_array a;
alglib::matinvreport  rep;
alglib::ae_int_t      info;

// 
// 'Expert' interface, spdmatrixinverse()
// 

// only upper triangle is used; a[1][0] is initialized by NAN,
// but it can be arbitrary number
a = "[[2,1],[NAN,2]]";

// after this line A will contain [[0.66,-0.33],[NAN,0.66]]
// only upper triangle is modified
alglib::spdmatrixinverse(a, 2 /* N */, true /* upper triangle is used */, info, rep);

6.8 Handling errors

ALGLIB uses two error handling strategies:

returning error code
throwing exception

What is actually done depends on function being used and error being reported:

if function returns some error code and has corresponding value for this kind of error, ALLGIB returns error code
if function does not return error code (or returns error code, but there is no code for error being reported), ALGLIB throws alglib::ap_error exception. Exception object has msg parameter which contains short description of error.

To make things clear we consider several examples of error handling.

Example 1. mincgreate function creates nonlinear CG optimizer. It accepts problem size N and initial point X. Several things can go wrong - you may pass array which is too short, filled by NAN's, or otherwise pass incorrect data. However, this function returns no error code - so it throws an exception in case something goes wrong. There is no other way to tell caller that something went wrong.

Example 2. rmatrixinverse function calculates inverse matrix. It returns error code, which is set to +1 when problem is solved and is set to -3 if singular matrix was passed to the function. However, there is no error code for matrix which is non-square or contains infinities. Well, we could have created corresponding error codes - but we didn't. So if you pass singular matrix to rmatrixinverse, you will get completion code -3. But if you pass matrix which contains INF in one of its elements, alglib::ap_error will be thrown.

First error handling strategy (error codes) is used to report "frequent" errors, which can occur during normal execution of user program. Second error handling strategy (exceptions) is used to report "rare" errors which are result of serious flaws in your program (or ALGLIB) - infinities/NAN's in the inputs, inconsistent inputs, etc.

6.9 Working with Level 1 BLAS functions

ALGLIB (ap.h header) includes following Level 1 BLAS functions:

alglib::vdotproduct() family, which allows to calculate dot product of two real or complex vectors
alglib::vmove() family, which allows to copy real/complex vector to another location with optimal multiplication by real/complex value
alglib::vmoveneg() family, which allows to copy real/complex vector to another location with multiplication by -1
alglib::vadd() and alglib::vsub() families, which allows to add or subtract two real/complex vectors with optimal multiplication by real/complex value
alglib::vmul() family, which implements in-place multiplication of real/complex vector by real/complex value

Each Level 1 BLAS function accepts input stride and output stride, which are expected to be positive. Input and output vectors should not overlap. Functions operating with complex vectors accept additional parameter conj_src, which specifies whether input vector is conjugated or not.

For each real/complex function there exists "simple" companion which accepts no stride or conjugation modifier. "Simple" function assumes that input/output stride is +1, and no input conjugation is required.

alglib::real_1d_array    rvec("[0,1,2,3]");
alglib::real_2d_array    rmat("[[1,2],[3,4]]");
alglib::complex_1d_array cvec("[0+1i,1+2i,2-1i,3-2i]");
alglib::complex_2d_array cmat("[[3i,1],[9,2i]]");

alglib::vmove(&rvec[0],  1, &rmat[0][0], rmat.getstride(), 2); // now rvec is [1,3,2,3]

alglib::vmove(&cvec[0],  1, &cmat[0][0], rmat.getstride(), "No conj", 2); // now cvec is [3i, 9, 2-1i, 3-2i]
alglib::vmove(&cvec[2],  1, &cmat[0][0], 1,                "Conj", 2);    // now cvec is [3i, 9, -3i,  1]

7 Advanced topics

7.1 Testing ALGLIB

There are two test suites in ALGLIB: computational tests and interface tests. Computational tests are located in /tests/test_c.cpp. They are focused on numerical properties of algorithms, stress testing and "deep" tests (large automatically generated problems). They require significant amount of time to finish (tens of minutes).

Interface tests are located in /tests/test_i.cpp. These tests are focused on ability to correctly pass data between computational core and caller, ability to detect simple problems in inputs, and on ability to at least compile ALGLIB with your compiler. They are very fast (about a minute to finish including compilation time).

Running test suite is easy - just

compile one of these files (test_c.cpp or test_i.cpp) along with the rest of the library
launch executable you will get. It may take from several seconds (interface tests) to several minutes (computational tests) to get final results

If you want to be sure that ALGLIB will work with some sophisticated optimization settings, set corresponding flags during compile time. If your compiler/system are not in the list of supported ones, we recommend you to run both test suites. But if you are running out of time, run at least test_i.cpp.

Airy function

Solution of the differential equation

y"(x) = xy.

The function returns the two independent solutions Ai, Bi

Evaluation is by power series summation for small x,
by rational minimax approximations for large x.



ACCURACY:
Error criterion is absolute when function <= 1, relative
when function > 1, except * denotes relative error criterion.
For large negative x, the absolute error increases as x^1.5.

from below can be used (but these estimates should be greater than -1 too).

One  of  alpha/beta variables (or even both alpha/beta) may be equal to 0,
which means than function F(x) is non-singular at A/B. Anyway (singular at
bounds or not), function F(x) is supposed to be continuous on (A,B).

Fast-convergent algorithm based on a Gauss-Kronrod formula is used. Result
is calculated with accuracy close to the machine precision.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    A, B    -   interval boundaries (A<B, A=B or A>B)

/*************************************************************************
Singular value decomposition of a bidiagonal matrix (extended algorithm)

The algorithm performs the singular value decomposition  of  a  bidiagonal
matrix B (upper or lower) representing it as B = Q*S*P^T, where Q and  P -
orthogonal matrices, S - diagonal matrix with non-negative elements on the
main diagonal, in descending order.

The  algorithm  finds  singular  values.  In  addition,  the algorithm can
calculate  matrices  Q  and P (more precisely, not the matrices, but their
product  with  given  matrices U and VT - U*Q and (P^T)*VT)).  Of  course,
matrices U and VT can be of any type, including identity. Furthermore, the
algorithm can calculate Q'*C (this product is calculated more  effectively
than U*Q,  because  this calculation operates with rows instead  of matrix
columns).

The feature of the algorithm is its ability to find  all  singular  values
including those which are arbitrarily close to 0  with  relative  accuracy
close to  machine precision. If the parameter IsFractionalAccuracyRequired
is set to True, all singular values will have high relative accuracy close
to machine precision. If the parameter is set to False, only  the  biggest
singular value will have relative accuracy  close  to  machine  precision.
The absolute error of other singular values is equal to the absolute error
of the biggest singular value.

Input parameters:
    D       -   main diagonal of matrix B.
                Array whose index ranges within [0..N-1].
    E       -   superdiagonal (or subdiagonal) of matrix B.
                Array whose index ranges within [0..N-2].
    N       -   size of matrix B.
    IsUpper -   True, if the matrix is upper bidiagonal.
    IsFractionalAccuracyRequired -
                THIS PARAMETER IS IGNORED SINCE ALGLIB 3.5.0
                SINGULAR VALUES ARE ALWAYS SEARCHED WITH HIGH ACCURACY.
    U       -   matrix to be multiplied by Q.
                Array whose indexes range within [0..NRU-1, 0..N-1].
                The matrix can be bigger, in that case only the  submatrix
                [0..NRU-1, 0..N-1] will be multiplied by Q.
    NRU     -   number of rows in matrix U.
    C       -   matrix to be multiplied by Q'.
                Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..NCC-1].
                The matrix can be bigger, in that case only the  submatrix
                [0..N-1, 0..NCC-1] will be multiplied by Q'.
    NCC     -   number of columns in matrix C.
    VT      -   matrix to be multiplied by P^T.
                Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..NCVT-1].
                The matrix can be bigger, in that case only the  submatrix
                [0..N-1, 0..NCVT-1] will be multiplied by P^T.
    NCVT    -   number of columns in matrix VT.

Output parameters:
    D       -   singular values of matrix B in descending order.
    U       -   if NRU>0, contains matrix U*Q.
    VT      -   if NCVT>0, contains matrix (P^T)*VT.
    C       -   if NCC>0, contains matrix Q'*C.

Result:
    True, if the algorithm has converged.
    False, if the algorithm hasn't converged (rare case).

Additional information:
    The type of convergence is controlled by the internal  parameter  TOL.
    If the parameter is greater than 0, the singular values will have
    relative accuracy TOL. If TOL<0, the singular values will have
    absolute accuracy ABS(TOL)*norm(B).
    By default, |TOL| falls within the range of 10*Epsilon and 100*Epsilon,
    where Epsilon is the machine precision. It is not  recommended  to  use
    TOL less than 10*Epsilon since this will  considerably  slow  down  the
    algorithm and may not lead to error decreasing.

zero, of the argument.

The domain is divided into the intervals [0, 5] and
(5, infinity). In the first interval a rational approximation
R(x) is employed to compute
  y0(x)  = R(x)  +   2 * log(x) * j0(x) / PI.
Thus a call to j0() is required.

In the second interval, the Hankel asymptotic expansion
is employed with two rational functions of degree 6/6
and 7/7.



ACCURACY:

 Absolute error, when y0(x) < 1; else relative error:

/*************************************************************************
This structure  is used to store results of the agglomerative hierarchical
clustering (AHC).

Following information is returned:

* NPoints contains number of points in the original dataset

* Z contains information about merges performed  (see below).  Z  contains
  indexes from the original (unsorted) dataset and it can be used when you
  need to know what points were merged. However, it is not convenient when
  you want to build a dendrograd (see below).

* if  you  want  to  build  dendrogram, you  can use Z, but it is not good
  option, because Z contains  indexes from  unsorted  dataset.  Dendrogram
  built from such dataset is likely to have intersections. So, you have to
  reorder you points before building dendrogram.
  Permutation which reorders point is returned in P. Another representation
  of  merges,  which  is  more  convenient for dendorgram construction, is
  returned in PM.

* more information on format of Z, P and PM can be found below and in the
  examples from ALGLIB Reference Manual.

FORMAL DESCRIPTION OF FIELDS:
    NPoints         number of points
    Z               array[NPoints-1,2],  contains   indexes   of  clusters
                    linked in pairs to  form  clustering  tree.  I-th  row
                    corresponds to I-th merge:
                    * Z[I,0] - index of the first cluster to merge
                    * Z[I,1] - index of the second cluster to merge
                    * Z[I,0]<Z[I,1]
                    * clusters are  numbered  from 0 to 2*NPoints-2,  with
                      indexes from 0 to NPoints-1 corresponding to  points
                      of the original dataset, and indexes from NPoints to
                      2*NPoints-2  correspond  to  clusters  generated  by
                      subsequent  merges  (I-th  row  of Z creates cluster
                      with index NPoints+I).

                    IMPORTANT: indexes in Z[] are indexes in the ORIGINAL,
                    unsorted dataset. In addition to  Z algorithm  outputs
                    permutation which rearranges points in such  way  that
                    subsequent merges are  performed  on  adjacent  points
                    (such order is needed if you want to build dendrogram).
                    However,  indexes  in  Z  are  related  to   original,
                    unrearranged sequence of points.

    P               array[NPoints], permutation which reorders points  for
                    dendrogram  construction.  P[i] contains  index of the
                    position  where  we  should  move  I-th  point  of the
                    original dataset in order to apply merges PZ/PM.

    PZ              same as Z, but for permutation of points given  by  P.
                    The  only  thing  which  changed  are  indexes  of the
                    original points; indexes of clusters remained same.

    MergeDist       array[NPoints-1], contains distances between  clusters
                    being merged (MergeDist[i] correspond to merge  stored
                    in Z[i,...]).

    PM              array[NPoints-1,6], another representation of  merges,
                    which is suited for dendrogram construction. It  deals
                    with rearranged points (permutation P is applied)  and
                    represents merges in a form which different  from  one
                    used by Z.
                    For each I from 0 to NPoints-2, I-th row of PM represents
                    merge performed on two clusters C0 and C1. Here:
                    * C0 contains points with indexes PM[I,0]...PM[I,1]
                    * C1 contains points with indexes PM[I,2]...PM[I,3]
                    * indexes stored in PM are given for dataset sorted
                      according to permutation P
                    * PM[I,1]=PM[I,2]-1 (only adjacent clusters are merged)
                    * PM[I,0]<=PM[I,1], PM[I,2]<=PM[I,3], i.e. both
                      clusters contain at least one point
                    * heights of "subdendrograms" corresponding  to  C0/C1
                      are stored in PM[I,4]  and  PM[I,5].  Subdendrograms
                      corresponding   to   single-point   clusters    have
                      height=0. Dendrogram of the merge result has  height
                      H=max(H0,H1)+1.

NOTE: there is one-to-one correspondence between merges described by Z and
      PM. I-th row of Z describes same merge of clusters as I-th row of PM,
      with "left" cluster from Z corresponding to the "left" one from PM.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    D       -   array[NPoints,NPoints], distance matrix
                (full matrix is returned, with lower and upper triangles)

NOTES: different distance functions have different performance penalty:

       * Spearman correlation distance function is a bit slower
       * city block and Chebyshev distances are order of magnitude slower

       The reason behing difference in performance is that correlation-based
       distance functions are computed using optimized linear algebra kernels,
       while Chebyshev and city block distance functions are computed using
       simple nested loops with two branches at each iteration.

`clusterizergetkclusters` function

/*************************************************************************
This function takes as input clusterization report Rep,  desired  clusters
count K, and builds top K clusters from hierarchical clusterization  tree.
It returns assignment of points to clusters (array of cluster indexes).

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    Rep     -   report from ClusterizerRunAHC() performed on XY
    K       -   desired number of clusters, 1<=K<=NPoints.
                K can be zero only when NPoints=0.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    CIdx    -   array[NPoints], I-th element contains cluster index  (from
                0 to K-1) for I-th point of the dataset.
    CZ      -   array[K]. This array allows  to  convert  cluster  indexes
                returned by this function to indexes used by  Rep.Z.  J-th
                cluster returned by this function corresponds to  CZ[J]-th
                cluster stored in Rep.Z/PZ/PM.
                It is guaranteed that CZ[I]<CZ[I+1].

NOTE: K clusters built by this subroutine are assumed to have no hierarchy.
      Although  they  were  obtained  by  manipulation with top K nodes of
      dendrogram  (i.e.  hierarchical  decomposition  of  dataset),   this
      function does not return information about hierarchy.  Each  of  the
      clusters stand on its own.

NOTE: Cluster indexes returned by this function  does  not  correspond  to
      indexes returned in Rep.Z/PZ/PM. Either you work  with  hierarchical
      representation of the dataset (dendrogram), or you work with  "flat"
      representation returned by this function.  Each  of  representations
      has its own clusters indexing system (former uses [0, 2*NPoints-2]),
      while latter uses [0..K-1]), although  it  is  possible  to  perform
      conversion from one system to another by means of CZ array, returned
      by this function, which allows you to convert indexes stored in CIdx
      to the numeration system used by Rep.Z.

NOTE: this subroutine is optimized for moderate values of K. Say, for  K=5
      it will perform many times faster than  for  K=100.  Its  worst-case
      performance is O(N*K), although in average case  it  perform  better

FOR USERS OF SMP EDITION:

  ! This function can utilize multicore capabilities of  your system.  In

  ! indicates that multicore code will be used.
  !
  ! This note is given for users of SMP edition; if you use GPL  edition,
  ! or commercial edition of ALGLIB without SMP support, you  still  will
  ! be able to call smp-version of this function,  but  all  computations
  ! will be done serially.
  !
  ! We recommend you to carefully read ALGLIB Reference  Manual,  section
  ! called 'SMP support', before using parallel version of this function.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    Rep     -   clustering results; see description of AHCReport
                structure for more information.

NOTE 1: hierarchical clustering algorithms require large amounts of memory.
        In particular, this implementation needs  sizeof(double)*NPoints^2
        bytes, which are used to store distance matrix. In  case  we  work
        with user-supplied matrix, this amount is multiplied by 2 (we have
        to store original matrix and to work with its copy).

        For example, problem with 10000 points  would require 800M of RAM,
        even when working in a 1-dimensional space.

    // * first, we merge C2=(P2) and C4=(P4),    and create C5=(P2,P4)
    // * then, we merge  C2=(P0) and C1=(P1),    and create C6=(P0,P1)
    // * then, we merge  C3=(P3) and C6=(P0,P1), and create C7=(P0,P1,P3)
    // * finally, we merge C5 and C7 and create C8=(P0,P1,P2,P3,P4)
    //
    // Thus, we have following dendrogram:
    //  
    //      ------8-----
    //      |          |
    //      |      ----7----

    //
    printf("%s\n", rep.z.tostring().c_str()); // EXPECTED: [[2,4],[0,1],[3,6],[5,7]]

    //
    // We've built dendrogram above by reordering our dataset.
    //
    // Without such reordering it would be impossible to build dendrogram without
    // intersections. Luckily, ahcreport structure contains two additional fields
    // which help to build dendrogram from your data:
    // * rep.p, which contains permutation applied to dataset
    // * rep.pm, which contains another representation of merges 
    //
    // In our example we have:
    // * P=[3,4,0,2,1]
    // * PZ=[[0,0,1,1,0,0],[3,3,4,4,0,0],[2,2,3,4,0,1],[0,1,2,4,1,2]]
    //
    // Permutation array P tells us that P0 should be moved to position 3,
    // P1 moved to position 4, P2 moved to position 0 and so on:
    //
    //   (P0 P1 P2 P3 P4) => (P2 P4 P3 P0 P1)
    //
    // Merges array PZ tells us how to perform merges on the sorted dataset.
    // One row of PZ corresponds to one merge operations, with first pair of
    // elements denoting first of the clusters to merge (start index, end
    // index) and next pair of elements denoting second of the clusters to
    // merge. Clusters being merged are always adjacent, with first one on
    // the left and second one on the right.
    //
    // For example, first row of PZ tells us that clusters [0,0] and [1,1] are
    // merged (single-point clusters, with first one containing P2 and second
    // one containing P4). Third row of PZ tells us that we merge one single-
    // point cluster [2,2] with one two-point cluster [3,4].
    //
    // There are two more elements in each row of PZ. These are the helper
    // elements, which denote HEIGHT (not size) of left and right subdendrograms.
    // For example, according to PZ, first two merges are performed on clusterization
    // trees of height 0, while next two merges are performed on 0-1 and 1-2
    // pairs of trees correspondingly.
    //

`convc1d` function

/*************************************************************************
1-dimensional complex convolution.

For given A/B returns conv(A,B) (non-circular). Subroutine can automatically
choose between three implementations: straightforward O(M*N)  formula  for
very small N (or M), overlap-add algorithm for  cases  where  max(M,N)  is
significantly larger than min(M,N), but O(M*N) algorithm is too slow,  and
general FFT-based formula for cases where two previois algorithms are  too
slow.

Algorithm has max(M,N)*log(max(M,N)) complexity for any M/N.

INPUT PARAMETERS
    A   -   array[0..M-1] - complex function to be transformed
    M   -   problem size
    B   -   array[0..N-1] - complex function to be transformed
    N   -   problem size

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
    R   -   convolution: A*B. array[0..N+M-2].

NOTE:
    It is assumed that A is zero at T<0, B is zero too.  If  one  or  both
functions have non-zero values at negative T's, you  can  still  use  this
subroutine - just shift its result correspondingly.

/*************************************************************************
Finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a general matrix

The algorithm finds eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a general matrix by
using the QR algorithm with multiple shifts. The algorithm can find
eigenvalues and both left and right eigenvectors.

The right eigenvector is a vector x such that A*x = w*x, and the left
eigenvector is a vector y such that y'*A = w*y' (here y' implies a complex
conjugate transposition of vector y).

Input parameters:
    A       -   matrix. Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    N       -   size of matrix A.
    VNeeded -   flag controlling whether eigenvectors are needed or not.
                If VNeeded is equal to:
                 * 0, eigenvectors are not returned;
                 * 1, right eigenvectors are returned;
                 * 2, left eigenvectors are returned;
                 * 3, both left and right eigenvectors are returned.

Output parameters:
    WR      -   real parts of eigenvalues.
                Array whose index ranges within [0..N-1].
    WR      -   imaginary parts of eigenvalues.
                Array whose index ranges within [0..N-1].
    VL, VR  -   arrays of left and right eigenvectors (if they are needed).
                If WI[i]=0, the respective eigenvalue is a real number,
                and it corresponds to the column number I of matrices VL/VR.
                If WI[i]>0, we have a pair of complex conjugate numbers with
                positive and negative imaginary parts:
                    the first eigenvalue WR[i] + sqrt(-1)*WI[i];
                    the second eigenvalue WR[i+1] + sqrt(-1)*WI[i+1];
                    WI[i]>0
                    WI[i+1] = -WI[i] < 0
                In that case, the eigenvector  corresponding to the first
                eigenvalue is located in i and i+1 columns of matrices
                VL/VR (the column number i contains the real part, and the
                column number i+1 contains the imaginary part), and the vector
                corresponding to the second eigenvalue is a complex conjugate to
                the first vector.
                Arrays whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].

Result:
    True, if the algorithm has converged.
    False, if the algorithm has not converged.

Note 1:
    Some users may ask the following question: what if WI[N-1]>0?
    WI[N] must contain an eigenvalue which is complex conjugate to the
    N-th eigenvalue, but the array has only size N?
    The answer is as follows: such a situation cannot occur because the
    algorithm finds a pairs of eigenvalues, therefore, if WI[i]>0, I is
    strictly less than N-1.

Note 2:
    The algorithm performance depends on the value of the internal parameter
    NS of the InternalSchurDecomposition subroutine which defines the number
    of shifts in the QR algorithm (similarly to the block width in block-matrix
    algorithms of linear algebra). If you require maximum performance
    on your machine, it is recommended to adjust this parameter manually.


See also the InternalTREVC subroutine.

The algorithm is based on the LAPACK 3.0 library.

/*************************************************************************
1-dimensional complex FFT.

Array size N may be arbitrary number (composite or prime).  Composite  N's
are handled with cache-oblivious variation of  a  Cooley-Tukey  algorithm.
Small prime-factors are transformed using hard coded  codelets (similar to
FFTW codelets, but without low-level  optimization),  large  prime-factors
are handled with Bluestein's algorithm.

Fastests transforms are for smooth N's (prime factors are 2, 3,  5  only),
most fast for powers of 2. When N have prime factors  larger  than  these,
but orders of magnitude smaller than N, computations will be about 4 times
slower than for nearby highly composite N's. When N itself is prime, speed
will be 6 times lower.

Algorithm has O(N*logN) complexity for any N (composite or prime).

INPUT PARAMETERS
    A   -   array[0..N-1] - complex function to be transformed
    N   -   problem size

`fftr1dinv` function

/*************************************************************************
1-dimensional real inverse FFT.

Algorithm has O(N*logN) complexity for any N (composite or prime).

INPUT PARAMETERS
    F   -   array[0..floor(N/2)] - frequencies from forward real FFT
    N   -   problem size

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
    A   -   inverse DFT of a input array, array[0..N-1]

NOTE:
    F[] should satisfy symmetry property F[k] = conj(F[N-k]), so just  one
half of frequencies array is needed - elements from 0 to floor(N/2).  F[0]
is ALWAYS real. If N is even F[floor(N/2)] is real too. If N is odd,  then
F[floor(N/2)] has no special properties.

Relying on properties noted above, FFTR1DInv subroutine uses only elements
from 0th to floor(N/2)-th. It ignores imaginary part of F[0],  and in case
N is even it ignores imaginary part of F[floor(N/2)] too.

When you call this function using full arguments list - "FFTR1DInv(F,N,A)"
- you can pass either either frequencies array with N elements or  reduced
array with roughly N/2 elements - subroutine will  successfully  transform
both.

If you call this function using reduced arguments list -  "FFTR1DInv(F,A)"
- you must pass FULL array with N elements (although higher  N/2 are still
not used) because array size is used to automatically determine FFT length

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:

NOTE 1: this function uses efficient in-place  algorithm  which  does not

NOTE 2: this algorithm uses BOTH previous points and  current  one,  i.e.

NOTE 3: technical analytis users quite often work  with  EMA  coefficient
        expressed in DAYS instead of fractions. If you want to  calculate
        EMA(N), where N is a number of days, you can use alpha=2/(N+1).

NOTE 1: this function uses efficient in-place  algorithm  which  does not

NOTE 2: this algorithm makes only one pass through array and uses running

/*************************************************************************
IDW interpolant using modified Shepard method for uniform point

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    XY  -   X and Y values, array[0..N-1,0..NX].
            First NX columns contain X-values, last column contain
            Y-values.
    N   -   number of nodes, N>0.
    NX  -   space dimension, NX>=1.
    D   -   nodal function type, either:
            * 0     constant  model.  Just  for  demonstration only, worst
                    model ever.
            * 1     linear model, least squares fitting. Simpe  model  for
                    datasets too small for quadratic models
            * 2     quadratic  model,  least  squares  fitting. Best model
                    available (if your dataset is large enough).
            * -1    "fast"  linear  model,  use  with  caution!!!   It  is
                    significantly  faster than linear/quadratic and better
                    than constant model. But it is less robust (especially
                    in the presence of noise).
    NQ  -   number of points used to calculate  nodal  functions  (ignored
            for constant models). NQ should be LARGER than:
            * max(1.5*(1+NX),2^NX+1) for linear model,
            * max(3/4*(NX+2)*(NX+1),2^NX+1) for quadratic model.
            Values less than this threshold will be silently increased.
    NW  -   number of points used to calculate weights and to interpolate.
            Required: >=2^NX+1, values less than this  threshold  will  be
            silently increased.
            Recommended value: about 2*NQ

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    Z   -   IDW interpolant.

NOTES:
  * best results are obtained with quadratic models, worst - with constant
    models
  * when N is large, NQ and NW must be significantly smaller than  N  both
    to obtain optimal performance and to obtain optimal accuracy. In 2  or
    3-dimensional tasks NQ=15 and NW=25 are good values to start with.
  * NQ  and  NW  may  be  greater  than  N.  In  such  cases  they will be
    automatically decreased.
  * this subroutine is always succeeds (as long as correct parameters  are
    passed).
  * see  'Multivariate  Interpolation  of Large Sets of Scattered Data' by
    Robert J. Renka for more information on this algorithm.
  * this subroutine assumes that point distribution is uniform at the small
    scales.  If  it  isn't  -  for  example,  points are concentrated along
    "lines", but "lines" distribution is uniform at the larger scale - then
    you should use IDWBuildModifiedShepardR()

`idwbuildnoisy` function

/*************************************************************************
IDW model for noisy data.

This subroutine may be used to handle noisy data, i.e. data with noise  in
OUTPUT values.  It differs from IDWBuildModifiedShepard() in the following
aspects:
* nodal functions are not constrained to pass through  nodes:  Qi(xi)<>yi,
  i.e. we have fitting  instead  of  interpolation.
* weights which are used during least  squares fitting stage are all equal
  to 1.0 (independently of distance)
* "fast"-linear or constant nodal functions are not supported (either  not
  robust enough or too rigid)

This problem require far more complex tuning than interpolation  problems.
Below you can find some recommendations regarding this problem:
* focus on tuning NQ; it controls noise reduction. As for NW, you can just
  make it equal to 2*NQ.
* you can use cross-validation to determine optimal NQ.
* optimal NQ is a result of complex tradeoff  between  noise  level  (more
  noise = larger NQ required) and underlying  function  complexity  (given
  fixed N, larger NQ means smoothing of compex features in the data).  For
  example, NQ=N will reduce noise to the minimum level possible,  but  you
  will end up with just constant/linear/quadratic (depending on  D)  least
  squares model for the whole dataset.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    XY  -   X and Y values, array[0..N-1,0..NX].

            * 2     quadratic  model,  least  squares  fitting. Best model
                    available (if your dataset is large enough).
    NQ  -   number of points used to calculate nodal functions.  NQ should
            be  significantly   larger   than  1.5  times  the  number  of
            coefficients in a nodal function to overcome effects of noise:

/*************************************************************************
Jacobian Elliptic Functions

Evaluates the Jacobian elliptic functions sn(u|m), cn(u|m),
and dn(u|m) of parameter m between 0 and 1, and real
argument u.

These functions are periodic, with quarter-period on the
real axis equal to the complete elliptic integral
ellpk(1.0-m).

Relation to incomplete elliptic integral:
If u = ellik(phi,m), then sn(u|m) = sin(phi),
and cn(u|m) = cos(phi).  Phi is called the amplitude of u.

Computation is by means of the arithmetic-geometric mean
algorithm, except when m is within 1e-9 of 0 or 1.  In the
latter case with m close to 1, the approximation applies
only for phi < pi/2.

ACCURACY:

Tested at random points with u between 0 and 10, m between
0 and 1.

           Absolute error (* = relative error):
arithmetic   function   # trials      peak         rms
   IEEE      phi         10000       9.2e-16*    1.4e-16*

 Peak error observed in consistency check using addition
theorem for sn(u+v) was 4e-16 (absolute).  Also tested by
the above relation to the incomplete elliptic integral.
Accuracy deteriorates when u is large.

SETTING CONSTRAINTS - DANGERS AND OPPORTUNITIES:

Setting constraints can lead  to undesired  results,  like ill-conditioned
behavior, or inconsistency being detected. From the other side,  it allows
us to improve quality of the fit. Here we summarize  our  experience  with
constrained barycentric interpolants:
* excessive  constraints  can  be  inconsistent.   Floater-Hormann   basis
  functions aren't as flexible as splines (although they are very smooth).
* the more evenly constraints are spread across [min(x),max(x)],  the more
  chances that they will be consistent
* the  greater  is  M (given  fixed  constraints),  the  more chances that
  constraints will be consistent
* in the general case, consistency of constraints IS NOT GUARANTEED.
* in the several special cases, however, we CAN guarantee consistency.
* one of this cases is constraints on the function  VALUES at the interval
  boundaries. Note that consustency of the  constraints  on  the  function
  DERIVATIVES is NOT guaranteed (you can use in such cases  cubic  splines
  which are more flexible).
* another  special  case  is ONE constraint on the function value (OR, but
  not AND, derivative) anywhere in the interval

Our final recommendation is to use constraints  WHEN  AND  ONLY  WHEN  you
can't solve your task without them. Anything beyond  special  cases  given
above is not guaranteed and may result in inconsistency.

`lsfitfit` function

/*************************************************************************
This family of functions is used to launcn iterations of nonlinear fitter

These functions accept following parameters:
    state   -   algorithm state
    func    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func at given point x
    grad    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func and gradient grad at given point x
    hess    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func, gradient grad and Hessian hess at given point x
    rep     -   optional callback which is called after each iteration
                can be NULL
    ptr     -   optional pointer which is passed to func/grad/hess/jac/rep
                can be NULL

NOTES:

1. this algorithm is somewhat unusual because it works with  parameterized
   function f(C,X), where X is a function argument (we  have  many  points
   which are characterized by different  argument  values),  and  C  is  a
   parameter to fit.

   For example, if we want to do linear fit by f(c0,c1,x) = c0*x+c1,  then
   x will be argument, and {c0,c1} will be parameters.

   It is important to understand that this algorithm finds minimum in  the
   space of function PARAMETERS (not arguments), so it  needs  derivatives
   of f() with respect to C, not X.

   In the example above it will need f=c0*x+c1 and {df/dc0,df/dc1} = {x,1}
   instead of {df/dx} = {c0}.

2. Callback functions accept C as the first parameter, and X as the second

3. If  state  was  created  with  LSFitCreateFG(),  algorithm  needs  just
   function   and   its   gradient,   but   if   state   was  created with
   LSFitCreateFGH(), algorithm will need function, gradient and Hessian.

   According  to  the  said  above,  there  ase  several  versions of this
   function, which accept different sets of callbacks.

   This flexibility opens way to subtle errors - you may create state with
   LSFitCreateFGH() (optimization using Hessian), but call function  which
   does not accept Hessian. So when algorithm will request Hessian,  there
   will be no callback to call. In this case exception will be thrown.

   Be careful to avoid such errors because there is no way to find them at
   compile time - you can see them at runtime only.

`lsfitlinear` function

/*************************************************************************
Linear least squares fitting.

QR decomposition is used to reduce task to MxM, then triangular solver  or
SVD-based solver is used depending on condition number of the  system.  It
allows to maximize speed and retain decent accuracy.

IMPORTANT: if you want to perform  polynomial  fitting,  it  may  be  more
           convenient to use PolynomialFit() function. This function gives
           best  results  on  polynomial  problems  and  solves  numerical
           stability  issues  which  arise  when   you   fit   high-degree
           polynomials to your data.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    Y       -   array[0..N-1] Function values in  N  points.
    FMatrix -   a table of basis functions values, array[0..N-1, 0..M-1].
                FMatrix[I, J] - value of J-th basis function in I-th point.
    N       -   number of points used. N>=1.
    M       -   number of basis functions, M>=1.

                        rare and for degenerate systems only)
                *  1    task is solved
    C       -   decomposition coefficients, array[0..M-1]
    Rep     -   fitting report. Following fields are set:
                * Rep.TaskRCond     reciprocal of condition number
                * R2                non-adjusted coefficient of determination

                * AvgError          average error on the (X,Y).
                * AvgRelError       average relative error on the non-zero Y
                * MaxError          maximum error
                                    NON-WEIGHTED ERRORS ARE CALCULATED

ERRORS IN PARAMETERS

This  solver  also  calculates different kinds of errors in parameters and
fills corresponding fields of report:
* Rep.CovPar        covariance matrix for parameters, array[K,K].
* Rep.ErrPar        errors in parameters, array[K],
                    errpar = sqrt(diag(CovPar))
* Rep.ErrCurve      vector of fit errors - standard deviations of empirical
                    best-fit curve from "ideal" best-fit curve built  with
                    infinite number of samples, array[N].
                    errcurve = sqrt(diag(F*CovPar*F')),
                    where F is functions matrix.
* Rep.Noise         vector of per-point estimates of noise, array[N]

NOTE:       noise in the data is estimated as follows:
            * for fitting without user-supplied  weights  all  points  are
              assumed to have same level of noise, which is estimated from
              the data
            * for fitting with user-supplied weights we assume that  noise
              level in I-th point is inversely proportional to Ith weight.
              Coefficient of proportionality is estimated from the data.

NOTE:       we apply small amount of regularization when we invert squared
            Jacobian and calculate covariance matrix. It  guarantees  that
            algorithm won't divide by zero  during  inversion,  but  skews
            error estimates a bit (fractional error is about 10^-9).

            However, we believe that this difference is insignificant  for
            all practical purposes except for the situation when you  want
            to compare ALGLIB results with "reference"  implementation  up
            to the last significant digit.

NOTE:       covariance matrix is estimated using  correction  for  degrees
            of freedom (covariances are divided by N-M instead of dividing
            by N).

    CMatrix -   a table of constaints, array[0..K-1,0..M].
                I-th row of CMatrix corresponds to I-th linear constraint:

    N       -   number of points used. N>=1.
    M       -   number of basis functions, M>=1.
    K       -   number of constraints, 0 <= K < M
                K=0 corresponds to absence of constraints.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:

                * -4    internal SVD decomposition subroutine failed (very

ERRORS IN PARAMETERS

This  solver  also  calculates different kinds of errors in parameters and
fills corresponding fields of report:
* Rep.CovPar        covariance matrix for parameters, array[K,K].
* Rep.ErrPar        errors in parameters, array[K],
                    errpar = sqrt(diag(CovPar))
* Rep.ErrCurve      vector of fit errors - standard deviations of empirical
                    best-fit curve from "ideal" best-fit curve built  with
                    infinite number of samples, array[N].
                    errcurve = sqrt(diag(F*CovPar*F')),
                    where F is functions matrix.
* Rep.Noise         vector of per-point estimates of noise, array[N]

IMPORTANT:  errors  in  parameters  are  calculated  without  taking  into
            account boundary/linear constraints! Presence  of  constraints
            changes distribution of errors, but there is no  easy  way  to
            account for constraints when you calculate covariance matrix.

NOTE:       noise in the data is estimated as follows:
            * for fitting without user-supplied  weights  all  points  are
              assumed to have same level of noise, which is estimated from
              the data
            * for fitting with user-supplied weights we assume that  noise
              level in I-th point is inversely proportional to Ith weight.
              Coefficient of proportionality is estimated from the data.

NOTE:       we apply small amount of regularization when we invert squared
            Jacobian and calculate covariance matrix. It  guarantees  that
            algorithm won't divide by zero  during  inversion,  but  skews
            error estimates a bit (fractional error is about 10^-9).

            However, we believe that this difference is insignificant  for
            all practical purposes except for the situation when you  want
            to compare ALGLIB results with "reference"  implementation  up
            to the last significant digit.

NOTE:       covariance matrix is estimated using  correction  for  degrees
            of freedom (covariances are divided by N-M instead of dividing
            by N).

`lsfitsetgradientcheck` function

/*************************************************************************
This  subroutine  turns  on  verification  of  the  user-supplied analytic
gradient:
* user calls this subroutine before fitting begins
* LSFitFit() is called
* prior to actual fitting, for  each  point  in  data  set  X_i  and  each
  component  of  parameters  being  fited C_j algorithm performs following
  steps:
  * two trial steps are made to C_j-TestStep*S[j] and C_j+TestStep*S[j],
    where C_j is j-th parameter and S[j] is a scale of j-th parameter
  * if needed, steps are bounded with respect to constraints on C[]
  * F(X_i|C) is evaluated at these trial points
  * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval
  * we  build  cubic  model using function values and derivatives at trial
    points and we compare its prediction with actual value in  the  middle
    point
  * in case difference between prediction and actual value is higher  than
    some predetermined threshold, algorithm stops with completion code -7;
    Rep.VarIdx is set to index of the parameter with incorrect derivative.
* after verification is over, algorithm proceeds to the actual optimization.

NOTE 1: verification needs N*K (points count * parameters count)  gradient
        evaluations. It is very costly and you should use it only for  low
        dimensional  problems,  when  you  want  to  be  sure  that you've
        correctly calculated analytic derivatives. You should not  use  it
        in the production code  (unless  you  want  to  check  derivatives
        provided by some third party).

NOTE 2: you  should  carefully  choose  TestStep. Value which is too large
        (so large that function behaviour is significantly non-cubic) will
        lead to false alarms. You may use  different  step  for  different
        parameters by means of setting scale with LSFitSetScale().

NOTE 3: this function may lead to false positives. In case it reports that
        I-th  derivative was calculated incorrectly, you may decrease test
        step  and  try  one  more  time  - maybe your function changes too
        sharply  and  your  step  is  too  large for such rapidly chanding
        function.

`lsfitsetscale` function

/*************************************************************************
This function sets scaling coefficients for underlying optimizer.

ALGLIB optimizers use scaling matrices to test stopping  conditions  (step
size and gradient are scaled before comparison with tolerances).  Scale of
the I-th variable is a translation invariant measure of:
a) "how large" the variable is
b) how large the step should be to make significant changes in the function

Generally, scale is NOT considered to be a form of preconditioner.  But LM
optimizer is unique in that it uses scaling matrix both  in  the  stopping
condition tests and as Marquardt damping factor.

Proper scaling is very important for the algorithm performance. It is less
important for the quality of results, but still has some influence (it  is
easier  to  converge  when  variables  are  properly  scaled, so premature
stopping is possible when very badly scalled variables are  combined  with
relaxed stopping conditions).

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure stores algorithm state
    S       -   array[N], non-zero scaling coefficients

SETTING CONSTRAINTS - DANGERS AND OPPORTUNITIES:

Setting constraints can lead  to undesired  results,  like ill-conditioned
behavior, or inconsistency being detected. From the other side,  it allows
us to improve quality of the fit. Here we summarize  our  experience  with
constrained regression splines:
* even simple constraints can be inconsistent, see  Wikipedia  article  on
  this subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkhoff_interpolation
* the  greater  is  M (given  fixed  constraints),  the  more chances that
  constraints will be consistent
* in the general case, consistency of constraints is NOT GUARANTEED.
* in the one special cases, however, we can  guarantee  consistency.  This
  case  is:  M>1  and constraints on the function values (NOT DERIVATIVES)

Our final recommendation is to use constraints  WHEN  AND  ONLY  when  you
can't solve your task without them. Anything beyond  special  cases  given
above is not guaranteed and may result in inconsistency.

SETTING CONSTRAINTS - DANGERS AND OPPORTUNITIES:

Setting constraints can lead  to undesired  results,  like ill-conditioned
behavior, or inconsistency being detected. From the other side,  it allows
us to improve quality of the fit. Here we summarize  our  experience  with
constrained regression splines:
* excessive constraints can be inconsistent. Splines are  piecewise  cubic
  functions, and it is easy to create an example, where  large  number  of
  constraints  concentrated  in  small  area will result in inconsistency.
  Just because spline is not flexible enough to satisfy all of  them.  And
  same constraints spread across the  [min(x),max(x)]  will  be  perfectly
  consistent.
* the more evenly constraints are spread across [min(x),max(x)],  the more
  chances that they will be consistent
* the  greater  is  M (given  fixed  constraints),  the  more chances that
  constraints will be consistent
* in the general case, consistency of constraints IS NOT GUARANTEED.
* in the several special cases, however, we CAN guarantee consistency.
* one of this cases is constraints  on  the  function  values  AND/OR  its
  derivatives at the interval boundaries.
* another  special  case  is ONE constraint on the function value (OR, but
  not AND, derivative) anywhere in the interval

Our final recommendation is to use constraints  WHEN  AND  ONLY  WHEN  you
can't solve your task without them. Anything beyond  special  cases  given
above is not guaranteed and may result in inconsistency.

ORDER OF POINTS

Subroutine automatically sorts points, so caller may pass unsorted array.

SETTING CONSTRAINTS - DANGERS AND OPPORTUNITIES:

Setting constraints can lead  to undesired  results,  like ill-conditioned
behavior, or inconsistency being detected. From the other side,  it allows
us to improve quality of the fit. Here we summarize  our  experience  with
constrained regression splines:
* excessive constraints can be inconsistent. Splines are  piecewise  cubic
  functions, and it is easy to create an example, where  large  number  of
  constraints  concentrated  in  small  area will result in inconsistency.
  Just because spline is not flexible enough to satisfy all of  them.  And
  same constraints spread across the  [min(x),max(x)]  will  be  perfectly
  consistent.
* the more evenly constraints are spread across [min(x),max(x)],  the more
  chances that they will be consistent
* the  greater  is  M (given  fixed  constraints),  the  more chances that
  constraints will be consistent
* in the general case, consistency of constraints is NOT GUARANTEED.
* in the several special cases, however, we can guarantee consistency.
* one of this cases is  M>=4  and   constraints  on   the  function  value
  (AND/OR its derivative) at the interval boundaries.
* another special case is M>=4  and  ONE  constraint on the function value
  (OR, BUT NOT AND, derivative) anywhere in [min(x),max(x)]

Our final recommendation is to use constraints  WHEN  AND  ONLY  when  you
can't solve your task without them. Anything beyond  special  cases  given
above is not guaranteed and may result in inconsistency.

/*************************************************************************
Fitting by penalized cubic spline.

Equidistant grid with M nodes on [min(x,xc),max(x,xc)] is  used  to  build
basis functions. Basis functions are cubic splines with  natural  boundary
conditions. Problem is regularized by  adding non-linearity penalty to the
usual least squares penalty function:

    S(x) = arg min { LS + P }, where
    LS   = SUM { w[i]^2*(y[i] - S(x[i]))^2 } - least squares penalty
    P    = C*10^rho*integral{ S''(x)^2*dx } - non-linearity penalty
    rho  - tunable constant given by user
    C    - automatically determined scale parameter,
           makes penalty invariant with respect to scaling of X, Y, W.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    X   -   points, array[0..N-1].
    Y   -   function values, array[0..N-1].
    N   -   number of points (optional):
            * N>0
            * if given, only first N elements of X/Y are processed
            * if not given, automatically determined from X/Y sizes
    M   -   number of basis functions ( = number_of_nodes), M>=4.
    Rho -   regularization  constant  passed   by   user.   It   penalizes
            nonlinearity in the regression spline. It  is  logarithmically
            scaled,  i.e.  actual  value  of  regularization  constant  is
            calculated as 10^Rho. It is automatically scaled so that:
            * Rho=2.0 corresponds to moderate amount of nonlinearity
            * generally, it should be somewhere in the [-8.0,+8.0]
            If you do not want to penalize nonlineary,
            pass small Rho. Values as low as -15 should work.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:

                           Cholesky decomposition; problem may be
                           too ill-conditioned (very rare)
    S   -   spline interpolant.

                            NON-WEIGHTED ERRORS ARE CALCULATED

IMPORTANT:
    this subroitine doesn't calculate task's condition number for K<>0.

NOTE 1: additional nodes are added to the spline outside  of  the  fitting
interval to force linearity when x<min(x,xc) or x>max(x,xc).  It  is  done
for consistency - we penalize non-linearity  at [min(x,xc),max(x,xc)],  so
it is natural to force linearity outside of this interval.

NOTE 2: function automatically sorts points,  so  caller may pass unsorted

`mannwhitneyutest` function

/*************************************************************************
Mann-Whitney U-test

This test checks hypotheses about whether X  and  Y  are  samples  of  two
continuous distributions of the same shape  and  same  median  or  whether
their medians are different.

The following tests are performed:
    * two-tailed test (null hypothesis - the medians are equal)
    * left-tailed test (null hypothesis - the median of the  first  sample
      is greater than or equal to the median of the second sample)
    * right-tailed test (null hypothesis - the median of the first  sample
      is less than or equal to the median of the second sample).

Requirements:
    * the samples are independent
    * X and Y are continuous distributions (or discrete distributions well-
      approximating continuous distributions)
    * distributions of X and Y have the  same  shape.  The  only  possible
      difference is their position (i.e. the value of the median)
    * the number of elements in each sample is not less than 5
    * the scale of measurement should be ordinal, interval or ratio  (i.e.
      the test could not be applied to nominal variables).

The test is non-parametric and doesn't require distributions to be normal.

Input parameters:
    X   -   sample 1. Array whose index goes from 0 to N-1.
    N   -   size of the sample. N>=5
    Y   -   sample 2. Array whose index goes from 0 to M-1.
    M   -   size of the sample. M>=5

Output parameters:
    BothTails   -   p-value for two-tailed test.
                    If BothTails is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    LeftTail    -   p-value for left-tailed test.
                    If LeftTail is less than the given significance level,
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    RightTail   -   p-value for right-tailed test.
                    If RightTail is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.

To calculate p-values, special approximation is used. This method lets  us
calculate p-values with satisfactory  accuracy  in  interval  [0.0001, 1].
There is no approximation outside the [0.0001, 1] interval. Therefore,  if
the significance level outlies this interval, the test returns 0.0001.

Relative precision of approximation of p-value:

N          M          Max.err.   Rms.err.
5..10      N..10      1.4e-02    6.0e-04
5..10      N..100     2.2e-02    5.3e-06
10..15     N..15      1.0e-02    3.2e-04
10..15     N..100     1.0e-02    2.2e-05
15..100    N..100     6.1e-03    2.7e-06

For N,M>100 accuracy checks weren't put into  practice,  but  taking  into
account characteristics of asymptotic approximation used, precision should
not be sharply different from the values for interval [5, 100].

`mcpdaddbc` function

/*************************************************************************
This function is used to add bound constraints  on  the  elements  of  the
transition matrix P.

MCPD solver has four types of constraints which can be placed on P:
* user-specified equality constraints (optional)
* user-specified bound constraints (optional)
* user-specified general linear constraints (optional)
* basic constraints (always present):
  * non-negativity: P[i,j]>=0
  * consistency: every column of P sums to 1.0

Final  constraints  which  are  passed  to  the  underlying  optimizer are
calculated  as  intersection  of all present constraints. For example, you
may specify boundary constraint on P[0,0] and equality one:
    0.1<=P[0,0]<=0.9
    P[0,0]=0.5
Such  combination  of  constraints  will  be  silently  reduced  to  their
intersection, which is P[0,0]=0.5.

This  function  can  be  used to ADD bound constraint for one element of P
without changing constraints for other elements.

You  can  also  use  MCPDSetBC()  function  which  allows to  place  bound
constraints  on arbitrary subset of elements of P.   Set of constraints is
specified  by  BndL/BndU matrices, which may contain arbitrary combination
of finite numbers or infinities (like -INF<x<=0.5 or 0.1<=x<+INF).

These functions (MCPDSetBC and MCPDAddBC) interact as follows:
* there is internal matrix of bound constraints which is stored in the
  MCPD solver
* MCPDSetBC() replaces this matrix by another one (SET)
* MCPDAddBC() modifies one element of this matrix and  leaves  other  ones
  unchanged (ADD)
* thus  MCPDAddBC()  call  preserves  all  modifications  done by previous
  calls,  while  MCPDSetBC()  completely discards all changes  done to the
  equality constraints.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S       -   solver
    I       -   row index of element being constrained
    J       -   column index of element being constrained

arbitrary set of equality constraints in one call.

two tracks, A1-A2-A3 (system at t=A+1, t=A+2 and t=A+3) and B1-B2-B3, then

This  solver  can  be  used  to find transition matrix P for N-dimensional
prediction  problem  where transition from X[i] to X[i+1] is  modelled  as
    X[i+1] = P*X[i]
where X[i] and X[i+1] are N-dimensional population vectors (components  of
each X are non-negative), and P is a N*N transition matrix (elements of  P
are non-negative, each column sums to 1.0).

Such models arise when when:
* there is some population of individuals
* individuals can have different states
* individuals can transit from one state to another
* population size is constant, i.e. there is no new individuals and no one
  leaves population
* you want to model transitions of individuals from one state into another

USAGE:

Here we give very brief outline of the MCPD. We strongly recommend you  to
read examples in the ALGLIB Reference Manual and to read ALGLIB User Guide
on data analysis which is available at http://www.alglib.net/dataanalysis/

1. User initializes algorithm state with MCPDCreate() call

2. User  adds  one  or  more  tracks -  sequences of states which describe
   evolution of a system being modelled from different starting conditions

3. User may add optional boundary, equality  and/or  linear constraints on
   the coefficients of P by calling one of the following functions:
   * MCPDSetEC() to set equality constraints
   * MCPDSetBC() to set bound constraints
   * MCPDSetLC() to set linear constraints

4. Optionally,  user  may  set  custom  weights  for prediction errors (by
   default, algorithm assigns non-equal, automatically chosen weights  for
   errors in the prediction of different components of X). It can be  done
   with a call of MCPDSetPredictionWeights() function.

5. User calls MCPDSolve() function which takes algorithm  state and
   pointer (delegate, etc.) to callback function which calculates F/G.

6. User calls MCPDResults() to get solution

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension, N>=1

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure stores algorithm state

DESCRIPTION:

This function is a specialized version of MCPDCreate()  function,  and  we
recommend  you  to read comments for this function for general information
about MCPD solver.

This  function  creates  MCPD (Markov Chains for Population  Data)  solver
for "Entry-state" model,  i.e. model  where transition from X[i] to X[i+1]
is modelled as
    X[i+1] = P*X[i]
where
    X[i] and X[i+1] are N-dimensional state vectors
    P is a N*N transition matrix
and  one  selected component of X[] is called "entry" state and is treated
in a special way:
    system state always transits from "entry" state to some another state
    system state can not transit from any state into "entry" state
Such conditions basically mean that row of P which corresponds to  "entry"
state is zero.

Such models arise when:
* there is some population of individuals
* individuals can have different states
* individuals can transit from one state to another
* population size is NOT constant -  at every moment of time there is some
  (unpredictable) amount of "new" individuals, which can transit into  one
  of the states at the next turn, but still no one leaves population
* you want to model transitions of individuals from one state into another
* but you do NOT want to predict amount of "new"  individuals  because  it
  does not depends on individuals already present (hence  system  can  not
  transit INTO entry state - it can only transit FROM it).

This model is discussed  in  more  details  in  the ALGLIB User Guide (see

`mcpdsetbc` function

/*************************************************************************
This function is used to add bound constraints  on  the  elements  of  the
transition matrix P.

MCPD solver has four types of constraints which can be placed on P:
* user-specified equality constraints (optional)
* user-specified bound constraints (optional)
* user-specified general linear constraints (optional)
* basic constraints (always present):
  * non-negativity: P[i,j]>=0
  * consistency: every column of P sums to 1.0

Final  constraints  which  are  passed  to  the  underlying  optimizer are
calculated  as  intersection  of all present constraints. For example, you
may specify boundary constraint on P[0,0] and equality one:
    0.1<=P[0,0]<=0.9
    P[0,0]=0.5
Such  combination  of  constraints  will  be  silently  reduced  to  their
intersection, which is P[0,0]=0.5.

This  function  can  be  used  to  place bound   constraints  on arbitrary
subset  of  elements  of  P.  Set of constraints is specified by BndL/BndU
matrices, which may contain arbitrary combination  of  finite  numbers  or
infinities (like -INF<x<=0.5 or 0.1<=x<+INF).

You can also use MCPDAddBC() function which allows to ADD bound constraint
for one element of P without changing constraints for other elements.

These functions (MCPDSetBC and MCPDAddBC) interact as follows:
* there is internal matrix of bound constraints which is stored in the
  MCPD solver
* MCPDSetBC() replaces this matrix by another one (SET)
* MCPDAddBC() modifies one element of this matrix and  leaves  other  ones
  unchanged (ADD)
* thus  MCPDAddBC()  call  preserves  all  modifications  done by previous
  calls,  while  MCPDSetBC()  completely discards all changes  done to the
  equality constraints.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S       -   solver
    BndL    -   lower bounds constraints, array[N,N]. Elements of BndL can
                be finite numbers or -INF.

                be finite numbers or +INF.

This  function  can  be  used  to  place equality constraints on arbitrary
subset of elements of P. Set of constraints is specified by EC, which  may
contain either NAN's or finite numbers from [0,1]. NAN denotes absence  of
constraint, finite number denotes equality constraint on specific  element
of P.

You can also  use  MCPDAddEC()  function  which  allows  to  ADD  equality
constraint  for  one  element  of P without changing constraints for other
elements.

                absence  of  constraints,  while  finite  value    denotes
                equality constraint on the corresponding element of P.

NOTES:

1. infinite values of EC will lead to exception being thrown. Values  less
than 0.0 or greater than 1.0 will lead to error code being returned  after
call to MCPDSolve().

`mcpdsetlc` function

/*************************************************************************
This function is used to set linear equality/inequality constraints on the
elements of the transition matrix P.

This function can be used to set one or several general linear constraints
on the elements of P. Two types of constraints are supported:
* equality constraints
* inequality constraints (both less-or-equal and greater-or-equal)

Coefficients  of  constraints  are  specified  by  matrix  C (one  of  the
parameters).  One  row  of  C  corresponds  to  one  constraint.   Because
transition  matrix P has N*N elements,  we  need  N*N columns to store all
coefficients  (they  are  stored row by row), and one more column to store
right part - hence C has N*N+1 columns.  Constraint  kind is stored in the
CT array.

Thus, I-th linear constraint is
    P[0,0]*C[I,0] + P[0,1]*C[I,1] + .. + P[0,N-1]*C[I,N-1] +
        + P[1,0]*C[I,N] + P[1,1]*C[I,N+1] + ... +
        + P[N-1,N-1]*C[I,N*N-1]  ?=?  C[I,N*N]
where ?=? can be either "=" (CT[i]=0), "<=" (CT[i]<0) or ">=" (CT[i]>0).

Your constraint may involve only some subset of P (less than N*N elements).
For example it can be something like
    P[0,0] + P[0,1] = 0.5
In this case you still should pass matrix  with N*N+1 columns, but all its
elements (except for C[0,0], C[0,1] and C[0,N*N-1]) will be zero.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S       -   solver
    C       -   array[K,N*N+1] - coefficients of constraints

`minbleiccreate` function

/*************************************************************************
                     BOUND CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION
       WITH ADDITIONAL LINEAR EQUALITY AND INEQUALITY CONSTRAINTS

DESCRIPTION:
The  subroutine  minimizes  function   F(x)  of N arguments subject to any
combination of:
* bound constraints
* linear inequality constraints
* linear equality constraints

REQUIREMENTS:
* user must provide function value and gradient
* starting point X0 must be feasible or
  not too far away from the feasible set
* grad(f) must be Lipschitz continuous on a level set:
  L = { x : f(x)<=f(x0) }
* function must be defined everywhere on the feasible set F

USAGE:

Constrained optimization if far more complex than the unconstrained one.
Here we give very brief outline of the BLEIC optimizer. We strongly recommend
you to read examples in the ALGLIB Reference Manual and to read ALGLIB User Guide
on optimization, which is available at http://www.alglib.net/optimization/

1. User initializes algorithm state with MinBLEICCreate() call

2. USer adds boundary and/or linear constraints by calling
   MinBLEICSetBC() and MinBLEICSetLC() functions.

3. User sets stopping conditions with MinBLEICSetCond().

4. User calls MinBLEICOptimize() function which takes algorithm  state and
   pointer (delegate, etc.) to callback function which calculates F/G.

5. User calls MinBLEICResults() to get solution

6. Optionally user may call MinBLEICRestartFrom() to solve another problem
   with same N but another starting point.
   MinBLEICRestartFrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure.


INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension, N>0:
                * if given, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not given, automatically determined from size ofX
    X       -   starting point, array[N]:
                * it is better to set X to a feasible point
                * but X can be infeasible, in which case algorithm will try
                  to find feasible point first, using X as initial
                  approximation.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure stores algorithm state

`minbleiccreatef` function

/*************************************************************************
The subroutine is finite difference variant of MinBLEICCreate().  It  uses
finite differences in order to differentiate target function.

Description below contains information which is specific to  this function
only. We recommend to read comments on MinBLEICCreate() in  order  to  get
more information about creation of BLEIC optimizer.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension, N>0:
                * if given, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not given, automatically determined from size of X
    X       -   starting point, array[0..N-1].
    DiffStep-   differentiation step, >0

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state

NOTES:
1. algorithm uses 4-point central formula for differentiation.
2. differentiation step along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I] where
   S[] is scaling vector which can be set by MinBLEICSetScale() call.
3. we recommend you to use moderate values of  differentiation  step.  Too
   large step will result in too large truncation  errors, while too small
   step will result in too large numerical  errors.  1.0E-6  can  be  good
   value to start with.
4. Numerical  differentiation  is   very   inefficient  -   one   gradient
   calculation needs 4*N function evaluations. This function will work for
   any N - either small (1...10), moderate (10...100) or  large  (100...).
   However, performance penalty will be too severe for any N's except  for
   small ones.
   We should also say that code which relies on numerical  differentiation
   is  less  robust and precise. CG needs exact gradient values. Imprecise
   gradient may slow  down  convergence, especially  on  highly  nonlinear
   problems.
   Thus  we  recommend to use this function for fast prototyping on small-
   dimensional problems only, and to implement analytical gradient as soon
   as possible.

`minbleicoptimize` function

/*************************************************************************
This family of functions is used to launcn iterations of nonlinear optimizer

These functions accept following parameters:
    state   -   algorithm state
    func    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func at given point x
    grad    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func and gradient grad at given point x
    rep     -   optional callback which is called after each iteration
                can be NULL
    ptr     -   optional pointer which is passed to func/grad/hess/jac/rep
                can be NULL

NOTES:

1. This function has two different implementations: one which  uses  exact
   (analytical) user-supplied gradient,  and one which uses function value
   only  and  numerically  differentiates  function  in  order  to  obtain
   gradient.

   Depending  on  the  specific  function  used to create optimizer object
   (either  MinBLEICCreate() for analytical gradient or  MinBLEICCreateF()
   for numerical differentiation) you should choose appropriate variant of
   MinBLEICOptimize() - one  which  accepts  function  AND gradient or one
   which accepts function ONLY.

   Be careful to choose variant of MinBLEICOptimize() which corresponds to
   your optimization scheme! Table below lists different  combinations  of
   callback (function/gradient) passed to MinBLEICOptimize()  and specific
   function used to create optimizer.


                     |         USER PASSED TO MinBLEICOptimize()

   MinBLEICCreateF() |     work                FAIL
   MinBLEICCreate()  |     FAIL                work

   Here "FAIL" denotes inappropriate combinations  of  optimizer  creation
   function  and  MinBLEICOptimize()  version.   Attemps   to   use   such
   combination (for  example,  to  create optimizer with MinBLEICCreateF()
   and  to  pass  gradient  information  to  MinCGOptimize()) will lead to
   exception being thrown. Either  you  did  not pass gradient when it WAS
   needed or you passed gradient when it was NOT needed.

`minbleicsetgradientcheck` function

/*************************************************************************
This  subroutine  turns  on  verification  of  the  user-supplied analytic
gradient:
* user calls this subroutine before optimization begins
* MinBLEICOptimize() is called
* prior to  actual  optimization, for each component  of  parameters being
  optimized X[i] algorithm performs following steps:
  * two trial steps are made to X[i]-TestStep*S[i] and X[i]+TestStep*S[i],
    where X[i] is i-th component of the initial point and S[i] is a  scale
    of i-th parameter
  * if needed, steps are bounded with respect to constraints on X[]
  * F(X) is evaluated at these trial points
  * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval
  * we  build  cubic  model using function values and derivatives at trial
    points and we compare its prediction with actual value in  the  middle
    point
  * in case difference between prediction and actual value is higher  than
    some predetermined threshold, algorithm stops with completion code -7;
    Rep.VarIdx is set to index of the parameter with incorrect derivative.
* after verification is over, algorithm proceeds to the actual optimization.

NOTE 1: verification  needs  N (parameters count) gradient evaluations. It
        is very costly and you should use  it  only  for  low  dimensional
        problems,  when  you  want  to  be  sure  that  you've   correctly
        calculated  analytic  derivatives.  You  should  not use it in the
        production code (unless you want to check derivatives provided  by
        some third party).

NOTE 2: you  should  carefully  choose  TestStep. Value which is too large
        (so large that function behaviour is significantly non-cubic) will
        lead to false alarms. You may use  different  step  for  different
        parameters by means of setting scale with MinBLEICSetScale().

NOTE 3: this function may lead to false positives. In case it reports that
        I-th  derivative was calculated incorrectly, you may decrease test
        step  and  try  one  more  time  - maybe your function changes too
        sharply  and  your  step  is  too  large for such rapidly chanding
        function.

NOTE 1: linear (non-bound) constraints are satisfied only approximately:
* there always exists some minor violation (about Epsilon in magnitude)
  due to rounding errors
* numerical differentiation, if used, may  lead  to  function  evaluations
  outside  of the feasible  area,   because   algorithm  does  NOT  change
  numerical differentiation formula according to linear constraints.
If you want constraints to be  satisfied  exactly, try to reformulate your
problem  in  such  manner  that  all constraints will become boundary ones
(this kind of constraints is always satisfied exactly, both in  the  final

`minbleicsetprecscale` function

/*************************************************************************
Modification of the preconditioner: scale-based diagonal preconditioning.

This preconditioning mode can be useful when you  don't  have  approximate
diagonal of Hessian, but you know that your  variables  are  badly  scaled
(for  example,  one  variable is in [1,10], and another in [1000,100000]),
and most part of the ill-conditioning comes from different scales of vars.

In this case simple  scale-based  preconditioner,  with H[i] = 1/(s[i]^2),
can greatly improve convergence.

IMPRTANT: you should set scale of your variables  with  MinBLEICSetScale()
call  (before  or after MinBLEICSetPrecScale() call). Without knowledge of
the scale of your variables scale-based preconditioner will be  just  unit
matrix.

`minbleicsetscale` function

/*************************************************************************
This function sets scaling coefficients for BLEIC optimizer.

ALGLIB optimizers use scaling matrices to test stopping  conditions  (step
size and gradient are scaled before comparison with tolerances).  Scale of
the I-th variable is a translation invariant measure of:
a) "how large" the variable is
b) how large the step should be to make significant changes in the function

Scaling is also used by finite difference variant of the optimizer  - step
along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I].

In  most  optimizers  (and  in  the  BLEIC  too)  scaling is NOT a form of
preconditioning. It just  affects  stopping  conditions.  You  should  set
preconditioner  by  separate  call  to  one  of  the  MinBLEICSetPrec...()
functions.

There is a special  preconditioning  mode, however,  which  uses   scaling
coefficients to form diagonal preconditioning matrix. You  can  turn  this
mode on, if you want.   But  you should understand that scaling is not the
same thing as preconditioning - these are two different, although  related
forms of tuning solver.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure stores algorithm state
    S       -   array[N], non-zero scaling coefficients
                S[i] may be negative, sign doesn't matter.

`minbleicsetstpmax` function

/*************************************************************************
This function sets maximum step length

IMPORTANT: this feature is hard to combine with preconditioning. You can't
set upper limit on step length, when you solve optimization  problem  with
linear (non-boundary) constraints AND preconditioner turned on.

When  non-boundary  constraints  are  present,  you  have to either a) use
preconditioner, or b) use upper limit on step length.  YOU CAN'T USE BOTH!
In this case algorithm will terminate with appropriate error code.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state
    StpMax  -   maximum step length, >=0. Set StpMax to 0.0,  if you don't
                want to limit step length.

Use this subroutine when you optimize target function which contains exp()
or  other  fast  growing  functions,  and optimization algorithm makes too
large  steps  which  lead   to overflow. This function allows us to reject
steps  that  are  too  large  (and  therefore  expose  us  to the possible
overflow) without actually calculating function value at the x+stp*d.

`mincgcreate` function

/*************************************************************************
        NONLINEAR CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHOD

DESCRIPTION:
The subroutine minimizes function F(x) of N arguments by using one of  the
nonlinear conjugate gradient methods.

These CG methods are globally convergent (even on non-convex functions) as
long as grad(f) is Lipschitz continuous in  a  some  neighborhood  of  the
L = { x : f(x)<=f(x0) }.


REQUIREMENTS:
Algorithm will request following information during its operation:
* function value F and its gradient G (simultaneously) at given point X


USAGE:
1. User initializes algorithm state with MinCGCreate() call
2. User tunes solver parameters with MinCGSetCond(), MinCGSetStpMax() and
   other functions
3. User calls MinCGOptimize() function which takes algorithm  state   and
   pointer (delegate, etc.) to callback function which calculates F/G.
4. User calls MinCGResults() to get solution
5. Optionally, user may call MinCGRestartFrom() to solve another  problem
   with same N but another starting point and/or another function.
   MinCGRestartFrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure.


INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension, N>0:
                * if given, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not given, automatically determined from size of X
    X       -   starting point, array[0..N-1].

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state

`mincgcreatef` function

/*************************************************************************
The subroutine is finite difference variant of MinCGCreate(). It uses
finite differences in order to differentiate target function.

Description below contains information which is specific to this function
only. We recommend to read comments on MinCGCreate() in order to get more
information about creation of CG optimizer.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension, N>0:
                * if given, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not given, automatically determined from size of X
    X       -   starting point, array[0..N-1].
    DiffStep-   differentiation step, >0

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state

NOTES:
1. algorithm uses 4-point central formula for differentiation.
2. differentiation step along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I] where
   S[] is scaling vector which can be set by MinCGSetScale() call.
3. we recommend you to use moderate values of  differentiation  step.  Too
   large step will result in too large truncation  errors, while too small
   step will result in too large numerical  errors.  1.0E-6  can  be  good
   value to start with.
4. Numerical  differentiation  is   very   inefficient  -   one   gradient
   calculation needs 4*N function evaluations. This function will work for
   any N - either small (1...10), moderate (10...100) or  large  (100...).
   However, performance penalty will be too severe for any N's except  for
   small ones.
   We should also say that code which relies on numerical  differentiation
   is  less  robust  and  precise.  L-BFGS  needs  exact  gradient values.
   Imprecise  gradient may slow down  convergence,  especially  on  highly
   nonlinear problems.
   Thus  we  recommend to use this function for fast prototyping on small-
   dimensional problems only, and to implement analytical gradient as soon
   as possible.

/*************************************************************************
This family of functions is used to launcn iterations of nonlinear optimizer

These functions accept following parameters:

                can be NULL

NOTES:

1. This function has two different implementations: one which  uses  exact
   (analytical) user-supplied  gradient, and one which uses function value
   only  and  numerically  differentiates  function  in  order  to  obtain
   gradient.

   Depending  on  the  specific  function  used to create optimizer object
   (either MinCGCreate()  for analytical gradient  or  MinCGCreateF()  for
   numerical differentiation) you should  choose  appropriate  variant  of
   MinCGOptimize() - one which accepts function AND gradient or one  which
   accepts function ONLY.

   Be careful to choose variant of MinCGOptimize()  which  corresponds  to
   your optimization scheme! Table below lists different  combinations  of
   callback (function/gradient) passed  to  MinCGOptimize()  and  specific
   function used to create optimizer.

   MinCGCreate()  |     FAIL                work

   Here "FAIL" denotes inappropriate combinations  of  optimizer  creation
   function and MinCGOptimize() version. Attemps to use  such  combination
   (for  example,  to create optimizer with  MinCGCreateF()  and  to  pass
   gradient information to MinCGOptimize()) will lead to  exception  being
   thrown. Either  you  did  not  pass  gradient when it WAS needed or you
   passed gradient when it was NOT needed.

`mincgsetgradientcheck` function

/*************************************************************************

This  subroutine  turns  on  verification  of  the  user-supplied analytic
gradient:
* user calls this subroutine before optimization begins
* MinCGOptimize() is called
* prior to  actual  optimization, for each component  of  parameters being
  optimized X[i] algorithm performs following steps:
  * two trial steps are made to X[i]-TestStep*S[i] and X[i]+TestStep*S[i],
    where X[i] is i-th component of the initial point and S[i] is a  scale
    of i-th parameter
  * F(X) is evaluated at these trial points
  * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval
  * we  build  cubic  model using function values and derivatives at trial
    points and we compare its prediction with actual value in  the  middle
    point
  * in case difference between prediction and actual value is higher  than
    some predetermined threshold, algorithm stops with completion code -7;
    Rep.VarIdx is set to index of the parameter with incorrect derivative.
* after verification is over, algorithm proceeds to the actual optimization.

NOTE 1: verification  needs  N (parameters count) gradient evaluations. It
        is very costly and you should use  it  only  for  low  dimensional
        problems,  when  you  want  to  be  sure  that  you've   correctly
        calculated  analytic  derivatives.  You  should  not use it in the
        production code (unless you want to check derivatives provided  by
        some third party).

NOTE 2: you  should  carefully  choose  TestStep. Value which is too large
        (so large that function behaviour is significantly non-cubic) will
        lead to false alarms. You may use  different  step  for  different
        parameters by means of setting scale with MinCGSetScale().

NOTE 3: this function may lead to false positives. In case it reports that
        I-th  derivative was calculated incorrectly, you may decrease test
        step  and  try  one  more  time  - maybe your function changes too
        sharply  and  your  step  is  too  large for such rapidly chanding
        function.

`mincgsetscale` function

/*************************************************************************
This function sets scaling coefficients for CG optimizer.

ALGLIB optimizers use scaling matrices to test stopping  conditions  (step
size and gradient are scaled before comparison with tolerances).  Scale of
the I-th variable is a translation invariant measure of:
a) "how large" the variable is
b) how large the step should be to make significant changes in the function

Scaling is also used by finite difference variant of CG optimizer  -  step
along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I].

In   most   optimizers  (and  in  the  CG  too)  scaling is NOT a form  of
preconditioning. It just  affects  stopping  conditions.  You  should  set
preconditioner by separate call to one of the MinCGSetPrec...() functions.

There  is  special  preconditioning  mode, however,  which  uses   scaling
coefficients to form diagonal preconditioning matrix. You  can  turn  this
mode on, if you want.   But  you should understand that scaling is not the
same thing as preconditioning - these are two different, although  related
forms of tuning solver.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure stores algorithm state
    S       -   array[N], non-zero scaling coefficients
                S[i] may be negative, sign doesn't matter.

Use this subroutine when you optimize target function which contains exp()

`mincgsuggeststep` function

/*************************************************************************
This function allows to suggest initial step length to the CG algorithm.

Suggested  step  length  is used as starting point for the line search. It
can be useful when you have  badly  scaled  problem,  i.e.  when  ||grad||
(which is used as initial estimate for the first step) is many  orders  of
magnitude different from the desired step.

Line search  may  fail  on  such problems without good estimate of initial
step length. Imagine, for example, problem with ||grad||=10^50 and desired
step equal to 0.1 Line  search function will use 10^50  as  initial  step,
then  it  will  decrease step length by 2 (up to 20 attempts) and will get
10^44, which is still too large.

This function allows us to tell than line search should  be  started  from
some moderate step length, like 1.0, so algorithm will be able  to  detect
desired step length in a several searches.

Default behavior (when no step is suggested) is to use preconditioner,  if
it is available, to generate initial estimate of step length.

This function influences only first iteration of algorithm. It  should  be
called between MinCGCreate/MinCGRestartFrom() call and MinCGOptimize call.
Suggested step is ignored if you have preconditioner.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure used to store algorithm state.
    Stp     -   initial estimate of the step length.

/*************************************************************************
        LIMITED MEMORY BFGS METHOD FOR LARGE SCALE OPTIMIZATION

DESCRIPTION:
The subroutine minimizes function F(x) of N arguments by  using  a  quasi-
Newton method (LBFGS scheme) which is optimized to use  a  minimum  amount
of memory.
The subroutine generates the approximation of an inverse Hessian matrix by
using information about the last M steps of the algorithm  (instead of N).
It lessens a required amount of memory from a value  of  order  N^2  to  a
value of order 2*N*M.


REQUIREMENTS:
Algorithm will request following information during its operation:
* function value F and its gradient G (simultaneously) at given point X


USAGE:
1. User initializes algorithm state with MinLBFGSCreate() call
2. User tunes solver parameters with MinLBFGSSetCond() MinLBFGSSetStpMax()
   and other functions
3. User calls MinLBFGSOptimize() function which takes algorithm  state and
   pointer (delegate, etc.) to callback function which calculates F/G.
4. User calls MinLBFGSResults() to get solution
5. Optionally user may call MinLBFGSRestartFrom() to solve another problem
   with same N/M but another starting point and/or another function.
   MinLBFGSRestartFrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure.


INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension. N>0
    M       -   number of corrections in the BFGS scheme of Hessian
                approximation update. Recommended value:  3<=M<=7. The smaller
                value causes worse convergence, the bigger will  not  cause  a
                considerably better convergence, but will cause a fall in  the
                performance. M<=N.
    X       -   initial solution approximation, array[0..N-1].


OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state


NOTES:
1. you may tune stopping conditions with MinLBFGSSetCond() function
2. if target function contains exp() or other fast growing functions,  and
   optimization algorithm makes too large steps which leads  to  overflow,
   use MinLBFGSSetStpMax() function to bound algorithm's  steps.  However,
   L-BFGS rarely needs such a tuning.

`minlbfgscreatef` function

/*************************************************************************
The subroutine is finite difference variant of MinLBFGSCreate().  It  uses
finite differences in order to differentiate target function.

Description below contains information which is specific to  this function
only. We recommend to read comments on MinLBFGSCreate() in  order  to  get
more information about creation of LBFGS optimizer.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   problem dimension, N>0:
                * if given, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not given, automatically determined from size of X
    M       -   number of corrections in the BFGS scheme of Hessian
                approximation update. Recommended value:  3<=M<=7. The smaller
                value causes worse convergence, the bigger will  not  cause  a
                considerably better convergence, but will cause a fall in  the
                performance. M<=N.
    X       -   starting point, array[0..N-1].
    DiffStep-   differentiation step, >0

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state

NOTES:
1. algorithm uses 4-point central formula for differentiation.
2. differentiation step along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I] where
   S[] is scaling vector which can be set by MinLBFGSSetScale() call.
3. we recommend you to use moderate values of  differentiation  step.  Too
   large step will result in too large truncation  errors, while too small
   step will result in too large numerical  errors.  1.0E-6  can  be  good
   value to start with.
4. Numerical  differentiation  is   very   inefficient  -   one   gradient
   calculation needs 4*N function evaluations. This function will work for
   any N - either small (1...10), moderate (10...100) or  large  (100...).
   However, performance penalty will be too severe for any N's except  for
   small ones.
   We should also say that code which relies on numerical  differentiation
   is   less  robust  and  precise.  LBFGS  needs  exact  gradient values.
   Imprecise gradient may slow  down  convergence,  especially  on  highly
   nonlinear problems.
   Thus  we  recommend to use this function for fast prototyping on small-
   dimensional problems only, and to implement analytical gradient as soon
   as possible.

`minlbfgsoptimize` function

/*************************************************************************
This family of functions is used to launcn iterations of nonlinear optimizer

These functions accept following parameters:
    state   -   algorithm state
    func    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func at given point x
    grad    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func and gradient grad at given point x
    rep     -   optional callback which is called after each iteration
                can be NULL
    ptr     -   optional pointer which is passed to func/grad/hess/jac/rep
                can be NULL

NOTES:

1. This function has two different implementations: one which  uses  exact
   (analytical) user-supplied gradient,  and one which uses function value
   only  and  numerically  differentiates  function  in  order  to  obtain
   gradient.

   Depending  on  the  specific  function  used to create optimizer object
   (either MinLBFGSCreate() for analytical gradient  or  MinLBFGSCreateF()
   for numerical differentiation) you should choose appropriate variant of
   MinLBFGSOptimize() - one  which  accepts  function  AND gradient or one
   which accepts function ONLY.

   Be careful to choose variant of MinLBFGSOptimize() which corresponds to
   your optimization scheme! Table below lists different  combinations  of
   callback (function/gradient) passed to MinLBFGSOptimize()  and specific
   function used to create optimizer.


                     |         USER PASSED TO MinLBFGSOptimize()

   MinLBFGSCreate()  |     FAIL                work

   Here "FAIL" denotes inappropriate combinations  of  optimizer  creation
   function  and  MinLBFGSOptimize()  version.   Attemps   to   use   such
   combination (for example, to create optimizer with MinLBFGSCreateF() and
   to pass gradient information to MinCGOptimize()) will lead to exception
   being thrown. Either  you  did  not pass gradient when it WAS needed or
   you passed gradient when it was NOT needed.

/*************************************************************************
This  subroutine  turns  on  verification  of  the  user-supplied analytic
gradient:
* user calls this subroutine before optimization begins
* MinLBFGSOptimize() is called
* prior to  actual  optimization, for each component  of  parameters being
  optimized X[i] algorithm performs following steps:
  * two trial steps are made to X[i]-TestStep*S[i] and X[i]+TestStep*S[i],
    where X[i] is i-th component of the initial point and S[i] is a  scale
    of i-th parameter
  * if needed, steps are bounded with respect to constraints on X[]
  * F(X) is evaluated at these trial points
  * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval
  * we  build  cubic  model using function values and derivatives at trial

    some predetermined threshold, algorithm stops with completion code -7;
    Rep.VarIdx is set to index of the parameter with incorrect derivative.
* after verification is over, algorithm proceeds to the actual optimization.

NOTE 1: verification  needs  N (parameters count) gradient evaluations. It
        is very costly and you should use  it  only  for  low  dimensional
        problems,  when  you  want  to  be  sure  that  you've   correctly
        calculated  analytic  derivatives.  You  should  not use it in the
        production code (unless you want to check derivatives provided  by
        some third party).

NOTE 2: you  should  carefully  choose  TestStep. Value which is too large
        (so large that function behaviour is significantly non-cubic) will
        lead to false alarms. You may use  different  step  for  different
        parameters by means of setting scale with MinLBFGSSetScale().

NOTE 3: this function may lead to false positives. In case it reports that
        I-th  derivative was calculated incorrectly, you may decrease test
        step  and  try  one  more  time  - maybe your function changes too
        sharply  and  your  step  is  too  large for such rapidly chanding

/*************************************************************************
This function sets scaling coefficients for LBFGS optimizer.

ALGLIB optimizers use scaling matrices to test stopping  conditions  (step
size and gradient are scaled before comparison with tolerances).  Scale of
the I-th variable is a translation invariant measure of:
a) "how large" the variable is
b) how large the step should be to make significant changes in the function

Scaling is also used by finite difference variant of the optimizer  - step
along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I].

In  most  optimizers  (and  in  the  LBFGS  too)  scaling is NOT a form of
preconditioning. It just  affects  stopping  conditions.  You  should  set
preconditioner  by  separate  call  to  one  of  the  MinLBFGSSetPrec...()

There  is  special  preconditioning  mode, however,  which  uses   scaling
coefficients to form diagonal preconditioning matrix. You  can  turn  this

                you don't want to limit step length.

Use this subroutine when you optimize target function which contains exp()
or  other  fast  growing  functions,  and optimization algorithm makes too
large  steps  which  leads  to overflow. This function allows us to reject
steps  that  are  too  large  (and  therefore  expose  us  to the possible
overflow) without actually calculating function value at the x+stp*d.

`minlmcreatefgh` function

/*************************************************************************
    LEVENBERG-MARQUARDT-LIKE METHOD FOR NON-LINEAR OPTIMIZATION

DESCRIPTION:
This  function  is  used  to  find  minimum  of general form (not "sum-of-
-squares") function
    F = F(x[0], ..., x[n-1])
using  its  gradient  and  Hessian.  Levenberg-Marquardt modification with
L-BFGS pre-optimization and internal pre-conditioned  L-BFGS  optimization
after each Levenberg-Marquardt step is used.


REQUIREMENTS:
This algorithm will request following information during its operation:

* function value F at given point X
* F and gradient G (simultaneously) at given point X
* F, G and Hessian H (simultaneously) at given point X

There are several overloaded versions of  MinLMOptimize()  function  which
correspond  to  different LM-like optimization algorithms provided by this
unit. You should choose version which accepts func(),  grad()  and  hess()
function pointers. First pointer is used to calculate F  at  given  point,
second  one  calculates  F(x)  and  grad F(x),  third one calculates F(x),
grad F(x), hess F(x).

You can try to initialize MinLMState structure with FGH-function and  then
use incorrect version of MinLMOptimize() (for example, version which  does
not provide Hessian matrix), but it will lead to  exception  being  thrown
after first attempt to calculate Hessian.


USAGE:
1. User initializes algorithm state with MinLMCreateFGH() call
2. User tunes solver parameters with MinLMSetCond(),  MinLMSetStpMax() and
   other functions
3. User calls MinLMOptimize() function which  takes algorithm  state   and
   pointers (delegates, etc.) to callback functions.
4. User calls MinLMResults() to get solution
5. Optionally, user may call MinLMRestartFrom() to solve  another  problem
   with same N but another starting point and/or another function.
   MinLMRestartFrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure.


INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   dimension, N>1
                * if given, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not given, automatically determined from size of X
    X       -   initial solution, array[0..N-1]

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state

NOTES:
1. you may tune stopping conditions with MinLMSetCond() function
2. if target function contains exp() or other fast growing functions,  and
   optimization algorithm makes too large steps which leads  to  overflow,
   use MinLMSetStpMax() function to bound algorithm's steps.

`minlmoptimize` function

/*************************************************************************
This family of functions is used to launcn iterations of nonlinear optimizer

These functions accept following parameters:
    state   -   algorithm state
    func    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func at given point x
    grad    -   callback which calculates function (or merit function)
                value func and gradient grad at given point x

                value func, gradient grad and Hessian hess at given point x
    fvec    -   callback which calculates function vector fi[]
                at given point x
    jac     -   callback which calculates function vector fi[]
                and Jacobian jac at given point x
    rep     -   optional callback which is called after each iteration
                can be NULL
    ptr     -   optional pointer which is passed to func/grad/hess/jac/rep
                can be NULL

NOTES:

1. Depending on function used to create state  structure,  this  algorithm
   may accept Jacobian and/or Hessian and/or gradient.  According  to  the
   said above, there ase several versions of this function,  which  accept
   different sets of callbacks.

   This flexibility opens way to subtle errors - you may create state with
   MinLMCreateFGH() (optimization using Hessian), but call function  which
   does not accept Hessian. So when algorithm will request Hessian,  there
   will be no callback to call. In this case exception will be thrown.

   Be careful to avoid such errors because there is no way to find them at
   compile time - you can see them at runtime only.

`minlmsetacctype` function

/*************************************************************************
This function is used to change acceleration settings

You can choose between three acceleration strategies:
* AccType=0, no acceleration.
* AccType=1, secant updates are used to update quadratic model after  each
  iteration. After fixed number of iterations (or after  model  breakdown)
  we  recalculate  quadratic  model  using  analytic  Jacobian  or  finite
  differences. Number of secant-based iterations depends  on  optimization
  settings: about 3 iterations - when we have analytic Jacobian, up to 2*N
  iterations - when we use finite differences to calculate Jacobian.

AccType=1 is recommended when Jacobian  calculation  cost  is  prohibitive
high (several Mx1 function vector calculations  followed  by  several  NxN
Cholesky factorizations are faster than calculation of one M*N  Jacobian).
It should also be used when we have no Jacobian, because finite difference
approximation takes too much time to compute.

Table below list  optimization  protocols  (XYZ  protocol  corresponds  to
MinLMCreateXYZ) and acceleration types they support (and use by  default).

ACCELERATION TYPES SUPPORTED BY OPTIMIZATION PROTOCOLS:

protocol    0   1   comment
V           +   +
VJ          +   +
FGH         +

DAFAULT VALUES:

VJ          x
FGH         x

NOTE: this  function should be called before optimization. Attempt to call
it during algorithm iterations may result in unexpected behavior.

NOTE: attempt to call this function with unsupported protocol/acceleration
combination will result in exception being thrown.

This  subroutine  turns  on  verification  of  the  user-supplied analytic

* user calls this subroutine before optimization begins
* MinLMOptimize() is called
* prior to actual optimization, for  each  function Fi and each  component
  of parameters  being  optimized X[j] algorithm performs following steps:
  * two trial steps are made to X[j]-TestStep*S[j] and X[j]+TestStep*S[j],
    where X[j] is j-th parameter and S[j] is a scale of j-th parameter
  * if needed, steps are bounded with respect to constraints on X[]
  * Fi(X) is evaluated at these trial points
  * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval
  * we  build  cubic  model using function values and derivatives at trial
    points and we compare its prediction with actual value in  the  middle

  * in case difference between prediction and actual value is higher  than

    Rep.VarIdx is set to index of the parameter with incorrect derivative,
    Rep.FuncIdx is set to index of the function.
* after verification is over, algorithm proceeds to the actual optimization.

NOTE 1: verification  needs  N (parameters count) Jacobian evaluations. It
        is  very  costly  and  you  should use it only for low dimensional
        problems,  when  you  want  to  be  sure  that  you've   correctly
        calculated  analytic  derivatives.  You should not  use  it in the
        production code  (unless  you  want  to check derivatives provided
        by some third party).

NOTE 2: you  should  carefully  choose  TestStep. Value which is too large
        (so large that function behaviour is significantly non-cubic) will
        lead to false alarms. You may use  different  step  for  different
        parameters by means of setting scale with MinLMSetScale().

NOTE 3: this function may lead to false positives. In case it reports that
        I-th  derivative was calculated incorrectly, you may decrease test
        step  and  try  one  more  time  - maybe your function changes too
        sharply  and  your  step  is  too  large for such rapidly chanding
        function.

`minlmsetscale` function

/*************************************************************************
This function sets scaling coefficients for LM optimizer.

ALGLIB optimizers use scaling matrices to test stopping  conditions  (step
size and gradient are scaled before comparison with tolerances).  Scale of
the I-th variable is a translation invariant measure of:
a) "how large" the variable is
b) how large the step should be to make significant changes in the function

Generally, scale is NOT considered to be a form of preconditioner.  But LM
optimizer is unique in that it uses scaling matrix both  in  the  stopping
condition tests and as Marquardt damping factor.

Proper scaling is very important for the algorithm performance. It is less
important for the quality of results, but still has some influence (it  is
easier  to  converge  when  variables  are  properly  scaled, so premature
stopping is possible when very badly scalled variables are  combined  with
relaxed stopping conditions).

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure stores algorithm state
    S       -   array[N], non-zero scaling coefficients
                S[i] may be negative, sign doesn't matter.

Use this subroutine when you optimize target function which contains exp()

large  steps  which  leads  to overflow. This function allows us to reject
steps  that  are  too  large  (and  therefore  expose  us  to the possible
overflow) without actually calculating function value at the x+stp*d.

NOTE: non-zero StpMax leads to moderate  performance  degradation  because

`minqpsetalgobleic` function

/*************************************************************************
This function tells solver to use BLEIC-based algorithm and sets  stopping
criteria for the algorithm.

DESCRIPTION:

BLEIC-based QP algorithm can be used for any kind of QP problems:
* problems with both dense and sparse quadratic terms
* problems with positive definite, semidefinite, indefinite terms

BLEIC-based algorithm can solve even indefinite problems - as long as they
are bounded from below on the feasible set. Of course, global  minimum  is
found only  for  positive  definite  and  semidefinite  problems.  As  for
indefinite ones - only local minimum is found.

BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS:

This algorithm can be used to solve both convex and indefinite QP problems
and it can utilize sparsity of the quadratic  term  (algorithm  calculates
matrix-vector products, which can be  performed  efficiently  in  case  of
sparse matrix).

Algorithm has iteration cost, which (assuming fixed amount of non-boundary
linear constraints) linearly depends on problem size. Boundary constraints
does not significantly change iteration cost.

Thus, it outperforms Cholesky-based QP algorithm (CQP) on high-dimensional
sparse problems with moderate amount of constraints.


From the other side, unlike CQP solver, this algorithm does NOT  make  use
of Level 3 Dense BLAS. Thus, its performance on dense problems is inferior
to that of CQP solver.

Its precision is also inferior to that of CQP. CQP performs  Newton  steps
which are know to achieve very good  precision. In many cases Newton  step
leads us exactly to the solution. BLEIC-QP performs LBFGS steps, which are
good at detecting neighborhood of the solution, buy need  many  iterations
to find solution with 6 digits of precision.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state
    EpsG    -   >=0
                The  subroutine  finishes  its  work   if   the  condition
                |v|<EpsG is satisfied, where:
                * |.| means Euclidian norm
                * v - scaled constrained gradient vector, v[i]=g[i]*s[i]
                * g - gradient
                * s - scaling coefficients set by MinQPSetScale()
    EpsF    -   >=0
                The  subroutine  finishes  its work if exploratory steepest
                descent  step  on  k+1-th  iteration  satisfies   following
                condition:  |F(k+1)-F(k)|<=EpsF*max{|F(k)|,|F(k+1)|,1}
    EpsX    -   >=0
                The  subroutine  finishes  its work if exploratory steepest
                descent  step  on  k+1-th  iteration  satisfies   following
                condition:
                * |.| means Euclidian norm
                * v - scaled step vector, v[i]=dx[i]/s[i]
                * dx - step vector, dx=X(k+1)-X(k)
                * s - scaling coefficients set by MinQPSetScale()
    MaxIts  -   maximum number of iterations. If MaxIts=0, the  number  of
                iterations is unlimited.

Passing EpsG=0, EpsF=0 and EpsX=0 and MaxIts=0 (simultaneously) will lead
to automatic stopping criterion selection (presently it is  small    step
length, but it may change in the future versions of ALGLIB).

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL MinQPSetScale() WHEN YOU USE THIS ALGO!

`minqpsetalgocholesky` function

/*************************************************************************
This function tells solver to use Cholesky-based algorithm. This algorithm
is active by default.

DESCRIPTION:

Cholesky-based algorithm can be used only for problems which:
* have dense quadratic term, set  by  MinQPSetQuadraticTerm(),  sparse  or
  structured problems are not supported.
* are strictly convex, i.e. quadratic term is symmetric positive definite,
  indefinite or semidefinite problems are not supported by this algorithm.

If anything of what listed above is violated, you may use  BLEIC-based  QP
algorithm which can be activated by MinQPSetAlgoBLEIC().

BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS:

This  algorithm  gives  best  precision amongst all QP solvers provided by
ALGLIB (Newton iterations  have  much  higher  precision  than  any  other
optimization algorithm). This solver also gracefully handles problems with
very large amount of constraints.

Performance of the algorithm is good because internally  it  uses  Level 3
Dense BLAS for its performance-critical parts.


From the other side, algorithm has  O(N^3)  complexity  for  unconstrained
problems and up to orders of  magnitude  slower  on  constrained  problems
(these additional iterations are needed to identify  active  constraints).
So, its running time depends on number of constraints active  at solution.

Furthermore, this algorithm can not solve problems with sparse matrices or
problems with semidefinite/indefinite matrices of any kind (dense/sparse).

For regression networks with NIn inputs and NOut outputs following dataset
format is used:
* dataset is given by NPoints*(NIn+NOut) matrix
* each row corresponds to one example
* first NIn columns are inputs, next NOut columns are outputs

For classification networks with NIn inputs and NClasses clases  following
dataset format is used:
* dataset is given by NPoints*(NIn+1) matrix
* each row corresponds to one example
* first NIn columns are inputs, last column stores class number (from 0 to

  !
  ! First improvement gives close-to-linear speedup on multicore systems.
  ! Second improvement gives constant speedup (2-3x, depending on your CPU)
  !
  ! In order to use multicore features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB
  ! * call  this  function  with  "smp_"  prefix,  which  indicates  that
  !   multicore code will be used (for multicore support)
  !
  ! In order to use SSE features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB on Intel processors
  ! * use C++ computational core
  !
  ! This note is given for users of commercial edition; if  you  use  GPL

RESULT:
    sum-of-squares error, SUM(sqr(y[i]-desired_y[i])/2)

DATASET FORMAT:

This  function  uses  two  different  dataset formats - one for regression
networks, another one for classification networks.

For regression networks with NIn inputs and NOut outputs following dataset
format is used:
* dataset is given by NPoints*(NIn+NOut) matrix
* each row corresponds to one example
* first NIn columns are inputs, next NOut columns are outputs

For classification networks with NIn inputs and NClasses clases  following
dataset format is used:
* dataset is given by NPoints*(NIn+1) matrix
* each row corresponds to one example
* first NIn columns are inputs, last column stores class number (from 0 to
  NClasses-1).

  ! * multicore support (C++ and C# computational cores)
  ! * SSE support
  !
  ! First improvement gives close-to-linear speedup on multicore  systems.
  ! Second improvement gives constant speedup (2-3x depending on your CPU)
  !
  ! In order to use multicore features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB
  ! * call  this  function  with  "smp_"  prefix,  which  indicates  that
  !   multicore code will be used (for multicore support)
  !
  ! In order to use SSE features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB on Intel processors
  ! * use C++ computational core
  !
  ! This note is given for users of commercial edition; if  you  use  GPL
  ! edition, you still will be able to call smp-version of this function,
  ! but all computations will be done serially.
  !
  ! We recommend you to carefully read ALGLIB Reference  Manual,  section
  ! called 'SMP support', before using parallel version of this function.


INPUT PARAMETERS:
    Network -   network initialized with one of the network creation funcs
    XY      -   original dataset in dense format; one sample = one row:
                * first NIn columns contain inputs,
                * for regression problem, next NOut columns store
                  desired outputs.
                * for classification problem, next column (just one!)
                  stores class number.
    SetSize -   real size of XY, SetSize>=0;
    Idx     -   subset of SubsetSize elements, array[SubsetSize]:
                * Idx[I] stores row index in the original dataset which is
                  given by XY. Gradient is calculated with respect to rows
                  whose indexes are stored in Idx[].
                * Idx[]  must store correct indexes; this function  throws
                  an  exception  in  case  incorrect index (less than 0 or
                  larger than rows(XY)) is given
                * Idx[]  may  store  indexes  in  any  order and even with
                  repetitions.
    SubsetSize- number of elements in Idx[] array:
                * positive value means that subset given by Idx[] is processed
                * zero value results in zero gradient
                * negative value means that full dataset is processed
    Grad      - possibly  preallocated array. If size of array is  smaller
                than WCount, it will be reallocated. It is  recommended to
                reuse  previously  allocated  array  to  reduce allocation
                overhead.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    E         - error function, SUM(sqr(y[i]-desiredy[i])/2,i)
    Grad      - gradient  of  E  with  respect   to  weights  of  network,
                array[WCount]

`mlpcontinuetraining` function

/*************************************************************************
IMPORTANT: this is an "expert" version of the MLPTrain() function.  We  do
           not recommend you to use it unless you are pretty sure that you
           need ability to monitor training progress.

FOR USERS OF COMMERCIAL EDITION:

  ! Commercial version of ALGLIB includes two  important  improvements  of
  ! this function:
  ! * multicore support (C++ and C# computational cores)
  ! * SSE support (C++ computational core)
  !
  ! Second improvement gives constant  speedup (2-3X).  First  improvement
  ! gives  close-to-linear  speedup  on   multicore   systems.   Following
  ! operations can be executed in parallel:
  ! * gradient calculation over large dataset (if dataset is large enough)
  !
  ! In order to use multicore features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB
  ! * call  this  function  with  "smp_"  prefix,  which  indicates  that
  !   multicore code will be used (for multicore support)
  !
  ! In order to use SSE features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB on Intel processors
  ! * use C++ computational core
  !
  ! This note is given for users of commercial edition; if  you  use  GPL
  ! edition, you still will be able to call smp-version of this function,
  ! but all computations will be done serially.
  !
  ! We recommend you to carefully read ALGLIB Reference  Manual,  section
  ! called 'SMP support', before using parallel version of this function.

This function performs step-by-step training of the neural  network.  Here
"step-by-step" means that training starts  with  MLPStartTraining()  call,
and then user subsequently calls MLPContinueTraining() to perform one more
iteration of the training.

This  function  performs  one  more  iteration of the training and returns
either True (training continues) or False (training stopped). In case True
was returned, Network weights are updated according to the  current  state
of the optimization progress. In case False was  returned,  no  additional
updates is performed (previous update of  the  network weights moved us to
the final point, and no additional updates is needed).

EXAMPLE:
    >
    > [initialize network and trainer object]
    >
    > MLPStartTraining(Trainer, Network, True)
    > while MLPContinueTraining(Trainer, Network) do
    >     [visualize training progress]
    >

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S           -   trainer object
    Network     -   neural  network  structure,  which  is  used to  store
                    current state of the training process.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    Network     -   weights of the neural network  are  rewritten  by  the
                    current approximation.

NOTE: this method uses sum-of-squares error function for training.

NOTE: it is expected that trainer object settings are NOT  changed  during
      step-by-step training, i.e. no  one  changes  stopping  criteria  or
      training set during training. It is possible and there is no defense
      against  such  actions,  but  algorithm  behavior  in  such cases is
      undefined and can be unpredictable.

NOTE: It  is  expected that Network is the same one which  was  passed  to
      MLPStartTraining() function.  However,  THIS  function  checks  only
      following:
      * that number of network inputs is consistent with trainer object
        settings
      * that number of network outputs/classes is consistent with  trainer
        object settings
      * that number of network weights is the same as number of weights in
        the network passed to MLPStartTraining() function
      Exception is thrown when these conditions are violated.

      It is also expected that you do not change state of the  network  on
      your own - the only party who has right to change network during its
      training is a trainer object. Any attempt to interfere with  trainer
      may lead to unpredictable results.

  ! * gradient calculation over large dataset (if dataset is large enough)
  !
  ! In order to use multicore features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB
  ! * call  this  function  with  "smp_"  prefix,  which  indicates  that

  ! but all computations will be done serially.
  !
  ! We recommend you to carefully read ALGLIB Reference  Manual,  section
  ! called 'SMP support', before using parallel version of this function.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S           -   trainer object
    Network     -   neural network. It must have same number of inputs and
                    output/classes as was specified during creation of the
                    trainer object. Network is not changed  during  cross-
                    validation and is not trained - it  is  used  only  as
                    representative of its architecture. I.e., we  estimate
                    generalization properties of  ARCHITECTURE,  not  some
                    specific network.
    NRestarts   -   number of restarts, >=0:
                    * NRestarts>0  means  that  for  each cross-validation
                      round   specified  number   of  random  restarts  is
                      performed,  with  best  network  being  chosen after
                      training.
                    * NRestarts=0 is same as NRestarts=1
    FoldsCount  -   number of folds in k-fold cross-validation:
                    * 2<=FoldsCount<=size of dataset
                    * recommended value: 10.
                    * values larger than dataset size will be silently
                      truncated down to dataset size

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    Rep         -   structure which contains cross-validation estimates:
                    * Rep.RelCLSError - fraction of misclassified cases.
                    * Rep.AvgCE - acerage cross-entropy
                    * Rep.RMSError - root-mean-square error
                    * Rep.AvgError - average error
                    * Rep.AvgRelError - average relative error

NOTE: when no dataset was specified with MLPSetDataset/SetSparseDataset(),
      or subset with only one point  was  given,  zeros  are  returned  as
      estimates.

NOTE: this method performs FoldsCount cross-validation  rounds,  each  one
      with NRestarts random starts.  Thus,  FoldsCount*NRestarts  networks
      are trained in total.

NOTE: Rep.RelCLSError/Rep.AvgCE are zero on regression problems.

NOTE: on classification problems Rep.RMSError/Rep.AvgError/Rep.AvgRelError
      contain errors in prediction of posterior probabilities.

This function performs step-by-step training of the neural  network.  Here
"step-by-step" means that training  starts  with  MLPStartTraining() call,
and then user subsequently calls MLPContinueTraining() to perform one more
iteration of the training.

After call to this function trainer object remembers network and  is ready
to  train  it.  However,  no  training  is  performed  until first call to
MLPContinueTraining() function. Subsequent calls  to MLPContinueTraining()
will advance training progress one iteration further.

    >
    > MLPStartTraining(Trainer, Network, True)
    > while MLPContinueTraining(Trainer, Network) do
    >     ...visualize training progress...

                    * True  means  that  network  is  randomized  and  its
                      initial state (one which was passed to  the  trainer
                      object) is lost.
                    * False  means  that  training  is  started  from  the
                      current state of the network

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:

NOTE: this method uses sum-of-squares error function for training.

NOTE: it is expected that trainer object settings are NOT  changed  during
      step-by-step training, i.e. no  one  changes  stopping  criteria  or
      training set during training. It is possible and there is no defense
      against  such  actions,  but  algorithm  behavior  in  such cases is

                          sufficiently small step size.  Not expected  (we
                          use  EARLY  stopping)  but  possible  and not an
                          error.
                    *  6, task has been solved, stopping  criterion  met -
                          increasing of validation set error.
    Rep         -   training report

NOTE:

Algorithm stops if validation set error increases for  a  long  enough  or
step size is small enought  (there  are  task  where  validation  set  may
decrease for eternity). In any case solution returned corresponds  to  the
minimum of validation set error.

FOR USERS OF COMMERCIAL EDITION:

  ! Commercial version of ALGLIB includes two  important  improvements  of
  ! this function:
  ! * multicore support (C++ and C# computational cores)
  ! * SSE support (C++ computational core)
  !
  ! Second improvement gives constant  speedup (2-3X).  First  improvement
  ! gives  close-to-linear  speedup  on   multicore   systems.   Following
  ! operations can be executed in parallel:
  ! * NRestarts training sessions performed within each of
  !   cross-validation rounds (if NRestarts>1)
  ! * gradient calculation over large dataset (if dataset is large enough)
  !
  ! In order to use multicore features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB
  ! * call  this  function  with  "smp_"  prefix,  which  indicates  that
  !   multicore code will be used (for multicore support)
  !
  ! In order to use SSE features you have to:
  ! * use commercial version of ALGLIB on Intel processors
  ! * use C++ computational core
  !
  ! This note is given for users of commercial edition; if  you  use  GPL
  ! edition, you still will be able to call smp-version of this function,
  ! but all computations will be done serially.
  !
  ! We recommend you to carefully read ALGLIB Reference  Manual,  section
  ! called 'SMP support', before using parallel version of this function.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S           -   trainer object
    Network     -   neural network. It must have same number of inputs and
                    output/classes as was specified during creation of the
                    trainer object.
    NRestarts   -   number of restarts, >=0:
                    * NRestarts>0 means that specified  number  of  random
                      restarts are performed, best network is chosen after
                      training
                    * NRestarts=0 means that current state of the  network
                      is used for training.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    Network     -   trained network

NOTE: when no dataset was specified with MLPSetDataset/SetSparseDataset(),
      network  is  filled  by zero  values.  Same  behavior  for functions
      MLPStartTraining and MLPContinueTraining.

NOTE: this method uses sum-of-squares error function for training.

    // training of neural ensembles.
    //
    // We assume that you already know how to use ALGLIB in serial mode
    // and concentrate on its parallel capabilities.

    //       as ours (13 examples). It is done only for demonstration purposes.

    //
    // Below we demonstrate how to perform:
    // * parallel training of individual networks
    // * parallel cross-validation
    // * parallel training of neural ensembles
    //
    // In order to use multithreading, you have to:
    // 1) Install SMP edition of ALGLIB.
    // 2) This step is specific for C++ users: you should activate OS-specific
    //    capabilities of ALGLIB by defining AE_OS=AE_POSIX (for *nix systems)
    //    or AE_OS=AE_WINDOWS (for Windows systems).
    //    C# users do not have to perform this step because C# programs are
    //    portable across different systems without OS-specific tuning.
    // 3) Allow ALGLIB to know about number of worker threads to use:
    //    a) autodetection (C++, C#):
    //          ALGLIB will automatically determine number of CPU cores and
    //          (by default) will use all cores except for one. Say, on 4-core
    //          system it will use three cores - unless you manually told it
    //          to use more or less. It will keep your system responsive during
    //          lengthy computations.
    //          Such behavior may be changed with setnworkers() call:
    //          * alglib::setnworkers(0)  = use all cores
    //          * alglib::setnworkers(-1) = leave one core unused
    //          * alglib::setnworkers(-2) = leave two cores unused
    //          * alglib::setnworkers(+2) = use 2 cores (even if you have more)
    //    b) manual specification (C++, C#):
    //          You may want to specify maximum number of worker threads during
    //          compile time by means of preprocessor definition AE_NWORKERS.
    //          For C++ it will be "AE_NWORKERS=X" where X can be any positive number.
    //          For C# it is "AE_NWORKERSX", where X should be replaced by number of
    //          workers (AE_NWORKERS2, AE_NWORKERS3, AE_NWORKERS4, ...).
    //          You can add this definition to compiler command line or change
    //          corresponding project settings in your IDE.
    //
    // After you installed and configured SMP edition of ALGLIB, you may choose
    // between serial and multithreaded versions of SMP-capable functions:
    // * serial version works as usual, in the context of the calling thread
    // * multithreaded version (with "smp_" prefix) creates (or wakes up) worker
    //   threads, inserts task in the worker queue, and waits for completion of
    //   the task. All processing is done in context of worker thread(s).
    //
    // NOTE: because starting/stopping worker threads costs thousands of CPU cycles,
    //       you should not use multithreading for lightweight computational problems.
    //
    // NOTE: some old POSIX-compatible operating systems do not support
    //       sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) system call which is required in order
    //       to automatically determine number of active cores. On these systems
    //       you should specify number of cores manually at compile time.
    //       Without it ALGLIB will run in single-threaded mode.
    //

    //
    // First, we perform parallel training of individual network with 5
    // restarts from random positions. These 5 rounds of  training  are
    // executed in parallel manner,  with  best  network  chosen  after
    // training.
    //
    // ALGLIB can use additional way to speed up computations -  divide
    // dataset   into   smaller   subsets   and   process these subsets
    // simultaneously. It allows us  to  efficiently  parallelize  even
    // single training round. This operation is performed automatically
    // for large datasets, but our toy dataset is too small.
    //
    smp_mlptrainnetwork(trn, network, 5, rep);

    //
    // Then, we perform parallel 10-fold cross-validation, with 5 random
    // restarts per each CV round. I.e., 5*10=50  networks  are trained
    // in total. All these operations can be parallelized.
    //
    // NOTE: again, ALGLIB can parallelize  calculation   of   gradient
    //       over entire dataset - but our dataset is too small.
    //
    smp_mlpkfoldcv(trn, network, 5, 10, rep);

    //
    // Finally, we train early stopping ensemble of 50 neural networks,
    // each  of them is trained with 5 random restarts. I.e.,  5*50=250
    // networks aretrained in total.
    //

KD-tree creation

This subroutine creates KD-tree from set of X-values and optional Y-values

INPUT PARAMETERS
    XY      -   dataset, array[0..N-1,0..NX+NY-1].
                one row corresponds to one point.
                first NX columns contain X-values, next NY (NY may be zero)
                columns may contain associated Y-values
    N       -   number of points, N>=0.
    NX      -   space dimension, NX>=1.
    NY      -   number of optional Y-values, NY>=0.
    NormType-   norm type:
                * 0 denotes infinity-norm
                * 1 denotes 1-norm
                * 2 denotes 2-norm (Euclidean norm)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
    KDT     -   KD-tree


NOTES

1. KD-tree  creation  have O(N*logN) complexity and O(N*(2*NX+NY))  memory
   requirements.
2. Although KD-trees may be used with any combination of N  and  NX,  they
   are more efficient than brute-force search only when N >> 4^NX. So they
   are most useful in low-dimensional tasks (NX=2, NX=3). NX=1  is another
   inefficient case, because  simple  binary  search  (without  additional
   structures) is much more efficient in such tasks than KD-trees.

/*************************************************************************
Distances from last query

INPUT PARAMETERS
    KDT     -   KD-tree
    R       -   possibly pre-allocated buffer. If X is too small to store
                result, it is resized. If size(X) is enough to store
                result, it is left unchanged.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
    R       -   filled with distances (in corresponding norm)

NOTES
1. points are ordered by distance from the query point (first = closest)
2. if  XY is larger than required to store result, only leading part  will
   be overwritten; trailing part will be left unchanged. So  if  on  input
   XY = [[A,B],[C,D]], and result is [1,2],  then  on  exit  we  will  get
   XY = [[1,2],[C,D]]. This is done purposely to increase performance;  if
   you want function  to  resize  array  according  to  result  size,  use
   function with same name and suffix 'I'.

/*************************************************************************
                LEVENBERG-MARQUARDT-LIKE NONLINEAR SOLVER

DESCRIPTION:
This algorithm solves system of nonlinear equations
    F[0](x[0], ..., x[n-1])   = 0
    F[1](x[0], ..., x[n-1])   = 0
    ...
    F[M-1](x[0], ..., x[n-1]) = 0
with M/N do not necessarily coincide.  Algorithm  converges  quadratically
under following conditions:
    * the solution set XS is nonempty
    * for some xs in XS there exist such neighbourhood N(xs) that:
      * vector function F(x) and its Jacobian J(x) are continuously
        differentiable on N
      * ||F(x)|| provides local error bound on N, i.e. there  exists  such
        c1, that ||F(x)||>c1*distance(x,XS)
Note that these conditions are much more weaker than usual non-singularity
conditions. For example, algorithm will converge for any  affine  function
F (whether its Jacobian singular or not).


REQUIREMENTS:
Algorithm will request following information during its operation:
* function vector F[] and Jacobian matrix at given point X
* value of merit function f(x)=F[0]^2(x)+...+F[M-1]^2(x) at given point X


USAGE:
1. User initializes algorithm state with NLEQCreateLM() call
2. User tunes solver parameters with  NLEQSetCond(),  NLEQSetStpMax()  and
   other functions
3. User  calls  NLEQSolve()  function  which  takes  algorithm  state  and
   pointers (delegates, etc.) to callback functions which calculate  merit
   function value and Jacobian.
4. User calls NLEQResults() to get solution
5. Optionally, user may call NLEQRestartFrom() to  solve  another  problem
   with same parameters (N/M) but another starting  point  and/or  another
   function vector. NLEQRestartFrom() allows to reuse already  initialized
   structure.


INPUT PARAMETERS:
    N       -   space dimension, N>1:
                * if provided, only leading N elements of X are used
                * if not provided, determined automatically from size of X
    M       -   system size
    X       -   starting point


OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state


NOTES:
1. you may tune stopping conditions with NLEQSetCond() function
2. if target function contains exp() or other fast growing functions,  and
   optimization algorithm makes too large steps which leads  to  overflow,
   use NLEQSetStpMax() function to bound algorithm's steps.
3. this  algorithm  is  a  slightly  modified implementation of the method
   described  in  'Levenberg-Marquardt  method  for constrained  nonlinear
   equations with strong local convergence properties' by Christian Kanzow
   Nobuo Yamashita and Masao Fukushima and further  developed  in  'On the
   convergence of a New Levenberg-Marquardt Method'  by  Jin-yan  Fan  and
   Ya-Xiang Yuan.

Returns the argument, x, for which the area under the

For small arguments 0 < y < exp(-2), the program computes
z = sqrt( -2.0 * log(y) );  then the approximation is
x = z - log(z)/z  - (1/z) P(1/z) / Q(1/z).
There are two rational functions P/Q, one for 0 < y < exp(-32)
and the other for y up to exp(-2).  For larger arguments,
w = y - 0.5, and  x/sqrt(2pi) = w + w**3 R(w**2)/S(w**2)).

`normestimatorcreate` function

/*************************************************************************
This procedure initializes matrix norm estimator.

USAGE:
1. User initializes algorithm state with NormEstimatorCreate() call
2. User calls NormEstimatorEstimateSparse() (or NormEstimatorIteration())
3. User calls NormEstimatorResults() to get solution.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    M       -   number of rows in the matrix being estimated, M>0
    N       -   number of columns in the matrix being estimated, N>0
    NStart  -   number of random starting vectors
                recommended value - at least 5.
    NIts    -   number of iterations to do with best starting vector
                recommended value - at least 5.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state


NOTE: this algorithm is effectively deterministic, i.e. it always  returns
same result when repeatedly called for the same matrix. In fact, algorithm
uses randomized starting vectors, but internal  random  numbers  generator
always generates same sequence of the random values (it is a  feature, not
bug).

Algorithm can be made non-deterministic with NormEstimatorSetSeed(0) call.

                values at X[i] are returned too.
                SHOULD BE ORDERED BY ASCENDING OR BY DESCENDING!!!!
    M       -   number of intermediate points + first point + last point:
                * M>2 means that you need both Y(X[M-1]) and M-2 values at

                  X[1] and don't interested in intermediate values.
                * M=1 means that you don't want to integrate :)
                  it is degenerate case, but it will be handled correctly.
                * M<1 means error
    Eps     -   tolerance (absolute/relative error on each  step  will  be
                less than Eps). When passing:

                * Eps<0, it means desired RELATIVE error.  Relative errors
                  are calculated with respect to maximum values of  Y seen
                  so far. Be careful to use this criterion  when  starting
                  from Y[] that are close to zero.
    H       -   initial  step  lenth,  it  will  be adjusted automatically
                after the first  step.  If  H=0,  step  will  be  selected
                automatically  (usualy  it  will  be  equal  to  0.001  of

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
    State   -   structure which stores algorithm state between  subsequent
                calls of OdeSolverIteration. Used for reverse communication.
                This structure should be passed  to the OdeSolverIteration

/*************************************************************************
Reduction of a rectangular matrix to  bidiagonal form

The algorithm reduces the rectangular matrix A to  bidiagonal form by
orthogonal transformations P and Q: A = Q*B*P.

Input parameters:
    A       -   source matrix. array[0..M-1, 0..N-1]
    M       -   number of rows in matrix A.
    N       -   number of columns in matrix A.

Output parameters:
    A       -   matrices Q, B, P in compact form (see below).
    TauQ    -   scalar factors which are used to form matrix Q.
    TauP    -   scalar factors which are used to form matrix P.

The main diagonal and one of the  secondary  diagonals  of  matrix  A  are
replaced with bidiagonal  matrix  B.  Other  elements  contain  elementary
reflections which form MxM matrix Q and NxN matrix P, respectively.

If M>=N, B is the upper  bidiagonal  MxN  matrix  and  is  stored  in  the
corresponding  elements  of  matrix  A.  Matrix  Q  is  represented  as  a
product   of   elementary   reflections   Q = H(0)*H(1)*...*H(n-1),  where
H(i) = 1-tau*v*v'. Here tau is a scalar which is stored  in  TauQ[i],  and
vector v has the following  structure:  v(0:i-1)=0, v(i)=1, v(i+1:m-1)  is
stored   in   elements   A(i+1:m-1,i).   Matrix   P  is  as  follows:  P =
G(0)*G(1)*...*G(n-2), where G(i) = 1 - tau*u*u'. Tau is stored in TauP[i],
u(0:i)=0, u(i+1)=1, u(i+2:n-1) is stored in elements A(i,i+2:n-1).

If M<N, B is the  lower  bidiagonal  MxN  matrix  and  is  stored  in  the
corresponding   elements  of  matrix  A.  Q = H(0)*H(1)*...*H(m-2),  where
H(i) = 1 - tau*v*v', tau is stored in TauQ, v(0:i)=0, v(i+1)=1, v(i+2:m-1)
is    stored    in   elements   A(i+2:m-1,i).    P = G(0)*G(1)*...*G(m-1),
G(i) = 1-tau*u*u', tau is stored in  TauP,  u(0:i-1)=0, u(i)=1, u(i+1:n-1)
is stored in A(i,i+1:n-1).

EXAMPLE:

m=6, n=5 (m > n):               m=5, n=6 (m < n):

(  d   e   u1  u1  u1 )         (  d   u1  u1  u1  u1  u1 )
(  v1  d   e   u2  u2 )         (  e   d   u2  u2  u2  u2 )
(  v1  v2  d   e   u3 )         (  v1  e   d   u3  u3  u3 )
(  v1  v2  v3  d   e  )         (  v1  v2  e   d   u4  u4 )
(  v1  v2  v3  v4  d  )         (  v1  v2  v3  e   d   u5 )
(  v1  v2  v3  v4  v5 )

Here vi and ui are vectors which form H(i) and G(i), and d and e -
are the diagonal and off-diagonal elements of matrix B.

/*************************************************************************
Reduction of a symmetric matrix which is given by its higher or lower
triangular part to a tridiagonal matrix using orthogonal similarity
transformation: Q'*A*Q=T.

Input parameters:
    A       -   matrix to be transformed
                array with elements [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    N       -   size of matrix A.
    IsUpper -   storage format. If IsUpper = True, then matrix A is given
                by its upper triangle, and the lower triangle is not used
                and not modified by the algorithm, and vice versa
                if IsUpper = False.

Output parameters:
    A       -   matrices T and Q in  compact form (see lower)
    Tau     -   array of factors which are forming matrices H(i)
                array with elements [0..N-2].

  If IsUpper=True, the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
  reflectors

     Q = H(n-2) . . . H(2) H(0).

  Each H(i) has the form

     H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

  where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
  v(i+1:n-1) = 0, v(i) = 1, v(0:i-1) is stored on exit in
  A(0:i-1,i+1), and tau in TAU(i).

  If IsUpper=False, the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
  reflectors

     Q = H(0) H(2) . . . H(n-2).

  Each H(i) has the form

     H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

  where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
  v(0:i) = 0, v(i+1) = 1, v(i+2:n-1) is stored on exit in A(i+2:n-1,i),
  and tau in TAU(i).

  The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples
  with n = 5:

  if UPLO = 'U':                       if UPLO = 'L':

    (  d   e   v1  v2  v3 )              (  d                  )

`polynomialbar2pow` function

/*************************************************************************

INPUT PARAMETERS:

    A   -   coefficients, P(x) = sum { A[i]*((X-C)/S)^i, i=0..N-1 }
    N   -   number of coefficients (polynomial degree plus 1)

NOTES:
1.  this function accepts offset and scale, which can be  set  to  improve
    numerical properties of polynomial. For example, if P was obtained  as
    result of interpolation on [-1,+1],  you  can  set  C=0  and  S=1  and
    represent  P  as sum of 1, x, x^2, x^3 and so on. In most cases you it
    is exactly what you need.

    However, if your interpolation model was built on [999,1001], you will
    see significant growth of numerical errors when using {1, x, x^2, x^3}
    as basis. Representing P as sum of 1, (x-1000), (x-1000)^2, (x-1000)^3
    will be better option. Such representation can be  obtained  by  using
    1000.0 as offset C and 1.0 as scale S.

2.  power basis is ill-conditioned and tricks described above can't  solve
    this problem completely. This function  will  return  coefficients  in
    any  case,  but  for  N>8  they  will  become unreliable. However, N's
    less than 5 are pretty safe.

3.  barycentric interpolant passed as P may be either polynomial  obtained
    from  polynomial  interpolation/ fitting or rational function which is
    NOT polynomial. We can't distinguish between these two cases, and this

    see significant growth of numerical errors when using {1, x, x^2, x^3}
    as  input  basis.  Converting  from  sum  of  1, (x-1000), (x-1000)^2,
    (x-1000)^3 will be better option (you have to specify 1000.0 as offset
    C and 1.0 as scale S).

2.  power basis is ill-conditioned and tricks described above can't  solve
    this problem completely. This function  will  return barycentric model
    in any case, but for N>8 accuracy well degrade. However, N's less than
    5 are pretty safe.

Psi (digamma) function

             d      -
  psi(x)  =  -- ln | (x)
             dx

is the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function.
For integer x,
                  n-1
                   -
psi(n) = -EUL  +   >  1/k.
                   -
                  k=1

This formula is used for 0 < n <= 10.  If x is negative, it
is transformed to a positive argument by the reflection
formula  psi(1-x) = psi(x) + pi cot(pi x).
For general positive x, the argument is made greater than 10
using the recurrence  psi(x+1) = psi(x) + 1/x.
Then the following asymptotic expansion is applied:

                          inf.   B
                           -      2k

creation, but it just returns zeros. You have to add points to the  model,
tune interpolation settings, and then  call  model  construction  function
RBFBuildModel() which will update model according to your specification.

USAGE:
1. User creates model with RBFCreate()
2. User adds dataset with RBFSetPoints() (points do NOT have to  be  on  a
   regular grid)
3. (OPTIONAL) User chooses polynomial term by calling:
   * RBFLinTerm() to set linear term
   * RBFConstTerm() to set constant term
   * RBFZeroTerm() to set zero term
   By default, linear term is used.
4. User chooses specific RBF algorithm to use: either QNN (RBFSetAlgoQNN)
   or ML (RBFSetAlgoMultiLayer).
5. User calls RBFBuildModel() function which rebuilds model  according  to
   the specification
6. User may call RBFCalc() to calculate model value at the specified point,
   RBFGridCalc() to  calculate   model  values at the points of the regular
   grid. User may extract model coefficients with RBFUnpack() call.

INPUT PARAMETERS:

    NY      -   function dimension, NY>=1

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    S       -   RBF model (initially equals to zero)

NOTE 1: memory requirements. RBF models require amount of memory  which is
        proportional  to  the  number  of data points. Memory is allocated
        during model construction, but most of this memory is freed  after
        model coefficients are calculated.

        Some approximate estimates for N centers with default settings are
        given below:
        * about 250*N*(sizeof(double)+2*sizeof(int)) bytes  of  memory  is
          needed during model construction stage.
        * about 15*N*sizeof(double) bytes is needed after model is built.
        For example, for N=100000 we may need 0.6 GB of memory  to  build
        model, but just about 0.012 GB to store it.

`rbfsetalgomultilayer` function

/*************************************************************************
This  function  sets  RBF interpolation algorithm. ALGLIB supports several
RBF algorithms with different properties.

This  algorithm is called RBF-ML. It builds  multilayer  RBF  model,  i.e.
model with subsequently decreasing  radii,  which  allows  us  to  combine
smoothness (due to  large radii of  the first layers) with  exactness (due
to small radii of the last layers) and fast convergence.

Internally RBF-ML uses many different  means  of acceleration, from sparse
matrices  to  KD-trees,  which  results in algorithm whose working time is
roughly proportional to N*log(N)*Density*RBase^2*NLayers,  where  N  is  a
number of points, Density is an average density if points per unit of  the
interpolation space, RBase is an initial radius, NLayers is  a  number  of
layers.

RBF-ML is good for following kinds of interpolation problems:
1. "exact" problems (perfect fit) with well separated points
2. least squares problems with arbitrary distribution of points (algorithm
   gives  perfect  fit  where it is possible, and resorts to least squares
   fit in the hard areas).
3. noisy problems where  we  want  to  apply  some  controlled  amount  of
   smoothing.

INPUT PARAMETERS:

    RBase   -   RBase parameter, RBase>0
    NLayers -   NLayers parameter, NLayers>0, recommended value  to  start
                with - about 5.
    LambdaV -   regularization value, can be useful when  solving  problem
                in the least squares sense.  Optimal  lambda  is  problem-
                dependent and require trial and error. In our  experience,
                good lambda can be as large as 0.1, and you can use  0.001
                as initial guess.
                Default  value  - 0.01, which is used when LambdaV is  not
                given.  You  can  specify  zero  value,  but  it  is   not
                recommended to do so.

TUNING ALGORITHM

In order to use this algorithm you have to choose three parameters:
* initial radius RBase
* number of layers in the model NLayers
* regularization coefficient LambdaV

Initial radius is easy to choose - you can pick any number  several  times
larger  than  the  average  distance between points. Algorithm won't break
down if you choose radius which is too large (model construction time will
increase, but model will be built correctly).

Choose such number of layers that RLast=RBase/2^(NLayers-1)  (radius  used
by  the  last  layer)  will  be  smaller than the typical distance between
points.  In  case  model  error  is  too large, you can increase number of
layers.  Having  more  layers  will make model construction and evaluation
proportionally slower, but it will allow you to have model which precisely
fits your data. From the other side, if you want to  suppress  noise,  you
can DECREASE number of layers to make your model less flexible.

Regularization coefficient LambdaV controls smoothness of  the  individual
models built for each layer. We recommend you to use default value in case
you don't want to tune this parameter,  because  having  non-zero  LambdaV
accelerates and stabilizes internal iterative algorithm. In case you  want
to suppress noise you can use  LambdaV  as  additional  parameter  (larger
value = more smoothness) to tune.

TYPICAL ERRORS

1. Using  initial  radius  which is too large. Memory requirements  of the
   RBF-ML are roughly proportional to N*Density*RBase^2 (where Density  is
   an average density of points per unit of the interpolation  space).  In
   the extreme case of the very large RBase we will need O(N^2)  units  of
   memory - and many layers in order to decrease radius to some reasonably
   small value.

2. Using too small number of layers - RBF models with large radius are not
   flexible enough to reproduce small variations in the  target  function.
   You  need  many  layers  with  different radii, from large to small, in
   order to have good model.

3. Using  initial  radius  which  is  too  small.  You will get model with
   "holes" in the areas which are too far away from interpolation centers.
   However, algorithm will work correctly (and quickly) in this case.

4. Using too many layers - you will get too large and too slow model. This
   model  will  perfectly  reproduce  your function, but maybe you will be
   able to achieve similar results with less layers (and less memory).

`rbfsetalgoqnn` function

/*************************************************************************
This  function  sets  RBF interpolation algorithm. ALGLIB supports several
RBF algorithms with different properties.

This algorithm is called RBF-QNN and  it  is  good  for  point  sets  with
following properties:
a) all points are distinct
b) all points are well separated.
c) points  distribution  is  approximately  uniform.  There is no "contour
   lines", clusters of points, or other small-scale structures.

Algorithm description:
1) interpolation centers are allocated to data points
2) interpolation radii are calculated as distances to the  nearest centers
   times Q coefficient (where Q is a value from [0.75,1.50]).
3) after  performing (2) radii are transformed in order to avoid situation
   when single outlier has very large radius and  influences  many  points
   across all dataset. Transformation has following form:
       new_r[i] = min(r[i],Z*median(r[]))
   where r[i] is I-th radius, median()  is a median  radius across  entire
   dataset, Z is user-specified value which controls amount  of  deviation
   from median radius.

When (a) is violated,  we  will  be unable to build RBF model. When (b) or
(c) are violated, model will be built, but interpolation quality  will  be
low. See http://www.alglib.net/interpolation/ for more information on this
subject.

This algorithm is used by default.

Additional Q parameter controls smoothness properties of the RBF basis:
* Q<0.75 will give perfectly conditioned basis,  but  terrible  smoothness
  properties (RBF interpolant will have sharp peaks around function values)
* Q around 1.0 gives good balance between smoothness and condition number
* Q>1.5 will lead to badly conditioned systems and slow convergence of the
  underlying linear solver (although smoothness will be very good)
* Q>2.0 will effectively make optimizer useless because it won't  converge
  within reasonable amount of iterations. It is possible to set such large
  Q, but it is advised not to do so.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    S       -   RBF model, initialized by RBFCreate() call
    Q       -   Q parameter, Q>0, recommended value - 1.0
    Z       -   Z parameter, Z>0, recommended value - 5.0

Examples

`rmatrixschur` function

/*************************************************************************
Subroutine performing the Schur decomposition of a general matrix by using
the QR algorithm with multiple shifts.

The source matrix A is represented as S'*A*S = T, where S is an orthogonal
matrix (Schur vectors), T - upper quasi-triangular matrix (with blocks of
sizes 1x1 and 2x2 on the main diagonal).

Input parameters:
    A   -   matrix to be decomposed.
            Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    N   -   size of A, N>=0.


Output parameters:
    A   -   contains matrix T.
            Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    S   -   contains Schur vectors.
            Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].

Note 1:
    The block structure of matrix T can be easily recognized: since all
    the elements below the blocks are zeros, the elements a[i+1,i] which
    are equal to 0 show the block border.

Note 2:
    The algorithm performance depends on the value of the internal parameter
    NS of the InternalSchurDecomposition subroutine which defines the number
    of shifts in the QR algorithm (similarly to the block width in block-matrix
    algorithms in linear algebra). If you require maximum performance on
    your machine, it is recommended to adjust this parameter manually.

Result:
    True,
        if the algorithm has converged and parameters A and S contain the result.
    False,
        if the algorithm has not converged.

Algorithm implemented on the basis of the DHSEQR subroutine (LAPACK 3.0 library).

/*************************************************************************
This function creates sparse matrix in a Hash-Table format.

This function creates Hast-Table matrix, which can be  converted  to  CRS
format after its initialization is over. Typical  usage  scenario  for  a
sparse matrix is:
1. creation in a Hash-Table format
2. insertion of the matrix elements
3. conversion to the CRS representation
4. matrix is passed to some linear algebra algorithm

Some  information  about  different matrix formats can be found below, in
the "NOTES" section.

INPUT PARAMETERS
    M           -   number of rows in a matrix, M>=1
    N           -   number of columns in a matrix, N>=1
    K           -   K>=0, expected number of non-zero elements in a matrix.
                    K can be inexact approximation, can be less than actual
                    number  of  elements  (table will grow when needed) or
                    even zero).
                    It is important to understand that although hash-table
                    may grow automatically, it is better to  provide  good
                    estimate of data size.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
    S           -   sparse M*N matrix in Hash-Table representation.
                    All elements of the matrix are zero.

NOTE 1.

Sparse matrices can be stored using either Hash-Table  representation  or
Compressed  Row  Storage  representation. Hast-table is better suited for
querying   and   dynamic   operations   (thus,  it  is  used  for  matrix
initialization), but it is inefficient when you want to make some  linear
algebra operations.

From the other side, CRS is better suited for linear algebra  operations,
but initialization is less convenient - you have to tell row sizes at the
initialization,  and  you  can  fill matrix only row by row, from left to
right. CRS is also very inefficient when you want to find matrix  element
by its index.

Thus,  Hash-Table  representation   does   not   support  linear  algebra
operations, while CRS format does not support modification of the  table.
Tables below outline information about these two formats:

    OPERATIONS WITH MATRIX      HASH        CRS
    create                      +           +
    read element                +           +
    modify element              +
    add value to element        +
    A*x  (dense vector)                     +
    A'*x (dense vector)                     +
    A*X  (dense matrix)                     +
    A'*X (dense matrix)                     +

NOTE 2.

Hash-tables use memory inefficiently, and they have to keep  some  amount
of the "spare memory" in order to have good performance. Hash  table  for
matrix with K non-zero elements will  need  C*K*(8+2*sizeof(int))  bytes,
where C is a small constant, about 1.5-2 in magnitude.

CRS storage, from the other side, is  more  memory-efficient,  and  needs
just K*(8+sizeof(int))+M*sizeof(int) bytes, where M is a number  of  rows
in a matrix.

When you convert from the Hash-Table to CRS  representation, all unneeded
memory will be freed.

                    triangular part.
                    Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    N           -   size of matrices A and B.
    IsUpperA    -   storage format of matrix A.
    B           -   symmetric positive-definite matrix which is given by
                    its upper or lower triangular part.
                    Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    IsUpperB    -   storage format of matrix B.
    ProblemType -   if ProblemType is equal to:
                     * 1, the following problem is solved: A*x = lambda*B*x;
                     * 2, the following problem is solved: A*B*x = lambda*x;
                     * 3, the following problem is solved: B*A*x = lambda*x.

Output parameters:
    A           -   symmetric matrix which is given by its upper or lower
                    triangle depending on IsUpperA. Contains matrix C.
                    Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    R           -   upper triangular or low triangular transformation matrix
                    which is used to obtain the eigenvectors of a given problem
                    as the product of eigenvectors of C (from the right) and
                    matrix R (from the left). If the matrix is upper
                    triangular, the elements below the main diagonal
                    are equal to 0 (and vice versa). Thus, we can perform
                    the multiplication without taking into account the
                    internal structure (which is an easier though less
                    effective way).
                    Array whose indexes range within [0..N-1, 0..N-1].
    IsUpperR    -   type of matrix R (upper or lower triangular).

Result:
    True, if the problem was reduced successfully.
    False, if the error occurred during the Cholesky decomposition of
        matrix B (the matrix is not positive-definite).

PROBLEMS WITH PERIODIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:

Problems with periodic boundary conditions have Y[first_point]=Y[last_point].

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    F2          -   function values at X2[]
    D2          -   first derivatives at X2[]

ORDER OF POINTS

Subroutine automatically sorts points, so caller  may pass unsorted array.
Function  values  are correctly reordered on  return, so F2[I]  is  always
equal to S(X2[I]) independently of points order.

SETTING BOUNDARY VALUES:

The BoundLType/BoundRType parameters can have the following values:
    * -1, which corresonds to the periodic (cyclic) boundary conditions.
          In this case:
          * both BoundLType and BoundRType must be equal to -1.
          * BoundL/BoundR are ignored
          * Y[last] is ignored (it is assumed to be equal to Y[first]).
    *  0, which  corresponds  to  the  parabolically   terminated  spline
          (BoundL and/or BoundR are ignored).
    *  1, which corresponds to the first derivative boundary condition
    *  2, which corresponds to the second derivative boundary condition
    *  by default, BoundType=0 is used

PROBLEMS WITH PERIODIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:

Problems with periodic boundary conditions have Y[first_point]=Y[last_point].
However, this subroutine doesn't require you to specify equal  values  for
the first and last points - it automatically forces them  to  be  equal by
copying  Y[first_point]  (corresponds  to the leftmost,  minimal  X[])  to
Y[last_point]. However it is recommended to pass consistent values of Y[],
i.e. to make Y[first_point]=Y[last_point].

/*************************************************************************
Sign test

This test checks three hypotheses about the median of  the  given  sample.
The following tests are performed:
    * two-tailed test (null hypothesis - the median is equal to the  given
      value)
    * left-tailed test (null hypothesis - the median is  greater  than  or
      equal to the given value)
    * right-tailed test (null hypothesis - the  median  is  less  than  or
      equal to the given value)

Requirements:
    * the scale of measurement should be ordinal, interval or ratio  (i.e.
      the test could not be applied to nominal variables).

The test is non-parametric and doesn't require distribution X to be normal

Input parameters:
    X       -   sample. Array whose index goes from 0 to N-1.
    N       -   size of the sample.
    Median  -   assumed median value.

Output parameters:
    BothTails   -   p-value for two-tailed test.
                    If BothTails is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    LeftTail    -   p-value for left-tailed test.
                    If LeftTail is less than the given significance level,
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    RightTail   -   p-value for right-tailed test.
                    If RightTail is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.

While   calculating   p-values   high-precision   binomial    distribution
approximation is used, so significance levels have about 15 exact digits.

Relation to incomplete beta integral:

where
       z = k/(k + t**2).

For t < -2, this is the method of computation.  For higher t,
a direct method is derived from integration by parts.
Since the function is symmetric about t=0, the area under the
right tail of the density is found by calling the function
with -t instead of t.

    * two-tailed test (null hypothesis - the mean is equal  to  the  given
      value)
    * left-tailed test (null hypothesis - the  mean  is  greater  than  or
      equal to the given value)
    * right-tailed test (null hypothesis - the mean is less than or  equal
      to the given value).

The test is based on the assumption that  a  given  sample  has  a  normal
distribution and  an  unknown  dispersion.  If  the  distribution  sharply
differs from normal, the test will work incorrectly.

INPUT PARAMETERS:
    X       -   sample. Array whose index goes from 0 to N-1.
    N       -   size of sample, N>=0
    Mean    -   assumed value of the mean.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
    BothTails   -   p-value for two-tailed test.
                    If BothTails is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    LeftTail    -   p-value for left-tailed test.
                    If LeftTail is less than the given significance level,
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    RightTail   -   p-value for right-tailed test.
                    If RightTail is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.

NOTE: this function correctly handles degenerate cases:
      * when N=0, all p-values are set to 1.0
      * when variance of X[] is exactly zero, p-values are set
        to 1.0 or 0.0, depending on difference between sample mean and
        value of mean being tested.

/*************************************************************************
Singular value decomposition of a rectangular matrix.

The algorithm calculates the singular value decomposition of a matrix of
size MxN: A = U * S * V^T

The algorithm finds the singular values and, optionally, matrices U and V^T.
The algorithm can find both first min(M,N) columns of matrix U and rows of
matrix V^T (singular vectors), and matrices U and V^T wholly (of sizes MxM
and NxN respectively).

Take into account that the subroutine does not return matrix V but V^T.

Input parameters:
    A           -   matrix to be decomposed.
                    Array whose indexes range within [0..M-1, 0..N-1].
    M           -   number of rows in matrix A.
    N           -   number of columns in matrix A.
    UNeeded     -   0, 1 or 2. See the description of the parameter U.
    VTNeeded    -   0, 1 or 2. See the description of the parameter VT.
    AdditionalMemory -
                    If the parameter:

                       memory (lower requirements, lower performance).
                     * equals 1, the algorithm uses additional
                       memory of size min(M,N)*min(M,N) of real numbers.
                       It often speeds up the algorithm.
                     * equals 2, the algorithm uses additional
                       memory of size M*min(M,N) of real numbers.
                       It allows to get a maximum performance.
                    The recommended value of the parameter is 2.

Output parameters:

                    are not calculated.
                    if Uneeded=1, U contains left singular vectors (first
                    min(M,N) columns of matrix U). Array whose indexes range
                    within [0..M-1, 0..Min(M,N)-1].

                    are not calculated.
                    if VTNeeded=1, VT contains right singular vectors (first

/*************************************************************************
Wilcoxon signed-rank test

This test checks three hypotheses about the median  of  the  given sample.
The following tests are performed:
    * two-tailed test (null hypothesis - the median is equal to the  given
      value)
    * left-tailed test (null hypothesis - the median is  greater  than  or
      equal to the given value)
    * right-tailed test (null hypothesis  -  the  median  is  less than or
      equal to the given value)

Requirements:
    * the scale of measurement should be ordinal, interval or  ratio (i.e.
      the test could not be applied to nominal variables).
    * the distribution should be continuous and symmetric relative to  its
      median.
    * number of distinct values in the X array should be greater than 4

The test is non-parametric and doesn't require distribution X to be normal

Input parameters:
    X       -   sample. Array whose index goes from 0 to N-1.
    N       -   size of the sample.
    Median  -   assumed median value.

Output parameters:
    BothTails   -   p-value for two-tailed test.
                    If BothTails is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    LeftTail    -   p-value for left-tailed test.
                    If LeftTail is less than the given significance level,
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.
    RightTail   -   p-value for right-tailed test.
                    If RightTail is less than the given significance level
                    the null hypothesis is rejected.

To calculate p-values, special approximation is used. This method lets  us
calculate p-values with two decimal places in interval [0.0001, 1].

"Two decimal places" does not sound very impressive, but in  practice  the
relative error of less than 1% is enough to make a decision.

There is no approximation outside the [0.0001, 1] interval. Therefore,  if
the significance level outlies this interval, the test returns 0.0001.
