Particular focus are functions that +contain numerical linear algebra functions as they often appear in statistically +motivated functions. The intended use of AlgoPy is for easy prototyping at +reasonable execution speeds. More precisely, for a typical program a directional +derivative takes order 10 times as much time as time as the function evaluation. +This is approximately also true for the gradient. + +WWW: https://pythonhosted.org/algopy/ |
