hessMTT¶

Purpose¶

Computes numerical Hessian using available threads.

Format¶

h = hessMTT(&fct, par1, data1)¶

Parameters:

fct (scalar) – pointer to procedure returning either Nx1 vector or 1x1 scalar.
par1 (struct) – structure of type PV containing parameter vector at which Hessian is to be evaluated
data1 (struct) – structure of type DS containing any data needed by fct

Returns:

h (KxK matrix) – Hessian

Examples¶

// Define a PV structure
struct PV p1;

// Create p1 PV structure
p1 = pvCreate;

// Fill PV structure
p1 = pvPack(p1, 0.1|0.2, "P");

// Create data matrix
x = seqa(1, 1, 15);

// Function to compute Hessian
proc fct(struct PV p0, x);
    local p, y;

    // Unpack parameters
    p = pvUnpack(p0, "P");

    // Define Hessian
    y = p[1] * exp( -p[2] * x);

    retp(y);
endp;

// Find Hessian
h = hessMTT(&fct, p1, d0);

Remarks¶

par1 must be created using the pvPack() procedures
