optimization: Numerical optimization

This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.

These are a set of implementations of various numerical optimization methods in Haskell. Note that these implementations were originally written as part of a class project; while at one point they worked no attention has been given to numerical stability or the many other potential difficulties of implementing robust numerical methods. That being said, they should serve to succinctly illustrate a number of optimization techniques from the modern optimization literature.

Those seeking a high-level overview of some of these methods are referred to Stephen Wright's excellent tutorial from NIPS 2010 http://videolectures.net/nips2010_wright_oaml/. A deeper introduction can be found in Boyd and Vandenberghe's /Convex Optimization/ which available freely online, http://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/. Vandenberghe's lecture at the 2009 Machine Learning Summer School may also be of interest http://videolectures.net/mlss09uk_vandenberghe_co/.
