Member Function Documentation

virtual void itk::SPSAOptimizer::AdvanceOneStep ( void  )

virtual

Advance one step following the gradient direction.

virtual double itk::SPSAOptimizer::Compute_a ( SizeValueType  k ) const

protectedvirtual

Method to compute the learning rate at iteration k (a_k).

virtual double itk::SPSAOptimizer::Compute_c ( SizeValueType  k ) const

protectedvirtual

Method to compute the gain factor for the perturbation at iteration k (c_k).

virtual void itk::SPSAOptimizer::ComputeGradient ( const ParametersType &  parameters, DerivativeType &  gradient  )

protectedvirtual

Compute the gradient at a position. m_NumberOfPerturbations are used, and scales are taken into account.

virtual::itk::LightObject::Pointer itk::SPSAOptimizer::CreateAnother ( void  ) const

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::SingleValuedNonLinearOptimizer.

virtual void itk::SPSAOptimizer::GenerateDelta ( const unsigned int  spaceDimension )

Reimplemented from itk::SingleValuedNonLinearOptimizer.

virtual void itk::SPSAOptimizer::GuessParameters ( SizeValueType  numberOfGradientEstimates, double  initialStepSize  )
