DSolve returns a general solution for a problem if no initial or boundary conditions are specified. The general solution to this equation is returned. However, if initial or ...

Searching for local minima and maxima. This finds the value of x which minimizes Γ(x), starting at x2. The last element of the list gives the value at which the minimum is ...

A trust region method has a region around the current search point, where the quadratic model for "local minimization" is "trusted" to be correct and steps are chosen to stay ...

This package contains functions for computing confidence intervals from data and p-values and confidence intervals for distributions related to the normal distribution. Given ...
