Interface ParameterTransformation


  • public interface ParameterTransformation
    Interface for parameter transformation. A parameter transformation can be used to implement constrains. Example: The solver/optimizer assumes that its parameters are unbounded, i.e. admissible values are searched in the range of Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY to Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY. If you like to constrain the first parameter to be > 0, then you might use the parameter transformation where getParameter is just Math:exp and getSolverParameter is Math:log.
