Return the error of the function when it was evaluated at the start point of the last minimization.

For minimizers driven by a vnl_least_squares_function (Levenberg-Marquardt) this is usually the RMS error. For those driven by a vnl_cost_function (CG, LBFGS, Amoeba) it is simply the value of the vnl_cost_function at the start (usually the sum of squared residuals).

Definition at line 50 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.cxx.

bool vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::report_iter ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

When true is returned, minimizer should stop with code FAILED_USER_REQUEST. Derived classes can redefine this function to make the optimizer stop when a condition is satisfied.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::reset ( ) [protected, inherited]

Definition at line 41 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.cxx.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_check_derivatives ( int  cd) [inline, inherited]

Set check_derivatives flag. Negative values may mean fewer checks.

Definition at line 81 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_epsilon_function ( double  v) [inline, inherited]

Set the step length for FD Jacobian.

Be aware that set_x_tolerance will reset this to xtol * 0.001. The default is 1e-11.

Definition at line 69 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_f_tolerance ( double  v) [inline, inherited]

Set the convergence tolerance on F (sum of squared residuals).

When the differences in successive RMS errors is less than this, the routine terminates. So this is effectively the desired precision of your minimization. Setting it too low wastes time, too high might cause early convergence. The default of 1e-9 is on the safe side, but if speed is an issue, you can try raising it.

Definition at line 45 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_g_tolerance ( double  v) [inline, inherited]

Set the convergence tolerance on Grad(F)' * F.

Definition at line 59 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_max_function_evals ( int  v) [inline, inherited]

Set the termination maximum number of iterations.

Definition at line 63 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_trace ( bool  on) [inline, inherited]

Turn on per-iteration printouts.

Definition at line 73 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_verbose ( bool  verb) [inline, inherited]

Set verbose flag.

Definition at line 77 of file vnl_nonlinear_minimizer.h.

void vnl_nonlinear_minimizer::set_x_tolerance ( double  v) [inline, inherited]

Set the convergence tolerance on X.

When the length of the steps taken in X are about this long, the routine terminates. The default is 1e-8, which should work for many problems, but if you can get away with 1e-4, say, minimizations will be much quicker.
