If all optimization algos which don't require derivatives go into direct this 
would be the right package for CMA-ES. But the term direct is often used with 
another meaning, see for instance 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis#Direct_and_iterative_methods

 Recently I implemented the optimization algorithm CMA-ES based on

 MultivariateRealOptimizer interface and would nicely fit into the

 The CMA evolution strategy http://www.lri.fr/~hansen/cmaesintro.html is a 
 very powerful algorithm for difficult non-linear non-convex optimization 
 problems in continuous domain. See http://www.lri.fr/~hansen/cec2005.html for

We already invested some time to merge the algo to be based on commons.math. If 
the code is accepted I will support it in the future including bug fixes. The 
author of the algorithm volunteered to support me. For discussions regarding IP

And now it doesn't (for me).  Seems to be very erratic.

Note: we will be changing the Javadoc Java API link in future releases; not 
sure it's worth fixing old links when it's not our fault.
There will be millions of other references to the java.sun.com URLs across the 
internet.

 I think there are two solutions.
 1. Change all links in javadocs in http://commons.apache.org/ that refers

 http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/
 2. Now, Oracle redirects accesses for http://java.sun.com/ to

If Oracle redirects access for http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/

No change is needed on  http://commons.apache.org/.

In the Javadoc of the {{SimplexOptimizer}}, the word direct refers to this 
paper:
  http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/doc/96/4-02.ps.gz

If the meaning is not clear, maybe the packages should be renamed (?).
In fact, I've always wondered why methods that need derivatives would be 
considered more general than those that don't :).

http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/doc/96/4-02.ps.gz states that a method should not 
'in its heart' develop an approximate gradient as for instance quasi-Newton 
methods. I don't think this qualifies CMA-ES as 'direct' method. Adaptation of 
the covariance matrix amounts to learning a second order model of the 
underlying objective function similar to the approximation of the inverse 
Hessian matrix in the Quasi-Newton method in classical optimization .

So, as I said, it was perhaps a bad choice of the package names. From a usage 
perspective it is more useful to make categories based on the properties of the 
objective function rather than on the heart of the algorithms.
I think that the interfaces should be based on familiarity (e.g. identically 
named methods) and ease of use, and that implementations similarities should be 
shared through inheritance.

What do you propose instead of the current {{direct}} and {{general}} package 
names?

KolmogorovSmirnovDistribution !exact (9.0 ms.) = 0.012149763742041922


The argument x that you used in the Simard-L'écuyer program is not the same 
that you used for the other two programs. Of course you then get
very different results. If I compute exactly in Mathematica, I obtain

F(200, 0.03) = 0.0129161464816289

which is very different than your exact results above and agrees well with our 
program.

Nikolaus Hansen commented on MATH-442:

I think the CMA-ES fits fine into to direct category (but I am familiar with 
the meaning of the word direct search, I don't assume everyone is).

Nelder-Mead and CMA-ES are similar in that they do not need derivatives and 
they do not even need function values: they are comparison based and only use a 
ranking between a number of candidate solutions. Moreover, Nelder-Mead and 
CMA-ES share all their invariance properties (not many other optimization 
algorithms do). Being rank-based implies invariance under monotonous 
transformations of the objective function value, but there are others (e.g. 
invariance under coordinate system changes). I believe these are important 
properties, also from the application viewpoint. The main conceptional 
different to Nelder-Mead: CMA-ES is stochastic (randomized, if you like).  The 
main practical difference: CMA-ES works also in large dimension and there is a 
control parameter for tuning the locality of search. 

You could have an elaborate discussion whether CMA-ES estimates a gradient. My 
take on it: methods that move opposite to the gradient will regularly fail 
anyway. 

I also find it strange that algorithms in the general category are in fact less 
general. 

Where can I subscribe to the list?

 Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (see [1]) is used to test if one sample against a 
 known probability density functions or if two samples are from the same 
 distribution. To evaluate the test statistic, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov 
 distribution is used. Quite good asymptotics exist for the one-sided test, 
 but it's more difficult for the two-sided test.

[jira] Commented: (MATH-439) Refactoring of solvers (package analysis.solvers)

Changes are again cascading to faraway places.

This issue led to changes in {{BrentSolver}} so that the loop is now 
evaluation-based (instead iteration-based) and it now throws 
{{TooManyEvaluationsException}}.
The {{HighamHall54IntegratorTest}} test fails:
{noformat}
testEventsNoConvergence(org.apache.commons.math.ode.nonstiff.HighamHall54IntegratorTest)
  Time elapsed: 0.006 sec   ERROR!

Because of the interface change in {{BrentSolver}}, the new set of lines 
(around line 260) in EventState.java are:
{code}
final BrentSolver solver = new BrentSolver(convergence);
solver.setMaxEvaluations(maxIterationCount);
final double root = (ta = tb) ? solver.solve(f, ta, tb) : solver.solve(f, tb, 
ta);
{code}
Obviously, the new exception is thrown here and is never caught. I don't know 
what else to change in order to get the same behaviour as before...
Expert advice welcome!

 Key: MATH-439

 Project: Commons Math
  Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Gilles
Priority: Minor
 Fix For: 3.0

 Attachments: AbstractUnivariateRealSolver.java


 The classes in package analysis.solvers could be refactored similarly to 
 what was done for package {{optimization}}.
 * Replace {{MaxIterationsExceededException}} with 
 {{TooManyEvaluationsException}}:
 Apart from the class {{MaxIterationsExceededException}} being deprecated, 
 this approach makes it difficult to compare different algorithms: While the 
 concept of iteration is algorithm-dependent, the user is probably mostly 
 interested in the number of function evaluations. 
 * Implement the method {{solve}} in the base class 
 ({{UnivariateRealSolverImpl}}) and define an abstract method {{doSolve}} to 
 be implemented in derived classes. This method would then use a new 
 {{computeObjectiveFunction}} method that will take care of the counting of 
 the function evaluations.
 * Remove protected fields (the root is unnecessary since it is returned by 
 {{solve}}). Arguingly the function value is also not very useful (as we know 
 what it should be), except for debugging purposes (in which case, it might 
 not be a problem to call the function's {{value}} method once more).
 * Remove the tolerance setter (accuracy) and make the corresponding fields 
 final.

[jira] Created: (EMAIL-101) Specified Content-ID is not used when embedding a File object in an HtmlEmail

2010-11-17 Thread Andrew Starodub (JIRA)
Specified Content-ID is not used when embedding a File object in an HtmlEmail
-

 Key: EMAIL-101
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-101
 Project: Commons Email
  Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2, 1.1, 1.0
Reporter: Andrew Starodub
 Fix For: 1.3


When calling the .embed(File file, String cid) method on HtmlEmail, the cid 
argument is never used within the method. 

Consequently, even when the user specifies a Content-ID for the embedded File, 
a new randomly generated Content-ID is generated every time. 

I believe this is as simple as changing the last line of .embed(File file, 
String cid) from: 

return embed(new FileDataSource(file), file.getName());

To: 

return embed(new FileDataSource(file), file.getName(), cid);

And another regression (maybe).

The problem is at those lines:
{code}
NonLinearConjugateGradientOptimizer optimizer =
new 
NonLinearConjugateGradientOptimizer(ConjugateGradientFormula.POLAK_RIBIERE);
optimizer.setMaxEvaluations(100);
optimizer.setConvergenceChecker(new SimpleScalarValueChecker(1.0e-30, 
1.0e-30)); // --- here
UnivariateRealSolver solver = new BrentSolver(1e-15, 1e-13);
optimizer.setLineSearchSolver(solver);
RealPointValuePair optimum =
optimizer.optimize(circle, GoalType.MINIMIZE, new double[] { 98.680, 47.345 
});
{code}

Now, when, in the above, the line marked --- here is commented out, the test 
passes.
However, if the line is left in but another solver is used (I tried 
{{BisectionSolver}} and {{SecantSolver}}), the test also passes!
Does someone have an idea of what could be going on?
