template<matrix_order RO, matrix_style RS, typename T , matrix_order PO, matrix_style PS, typename FUNCTOR > Matrix<T, RO, RS> scythe::gradfdif ( FUNCTOR  fun, const Matrix< T, PO, PS > &  theta  ) Calculate gradient of a function using a forward difference formula. This function numerically calculates the gradient of a vector-valued function at theta using a forward difference formula. Parameters: fun The function to calculate the gradient of. This function should both take and return a single Matrix (vector) of type T. theta The column vector of values at which to calculate the gradient of the function. See also: gradfdifls(FUNCTOR fun, T alpha, const Matrix<T,PO1,PS1>& theta, const Matrix<T,PO2,PS2>& p) jacfdif(FUNCTOR fun, const Matrix<T,PO,PS>& theta) hesscdif(FUNCTOR fun, const Matrix<T,PO,PS>& theta) Exceptions: scythe_dimension_error (Level 1) Note: Users will typically wish to implement fun in terms of a functor. Using a functor provides a generic way in which to evaluate functions with more than one parameter. Furthermore, although one can pass a function pointer to this routine, the compiler cannot inline and fully optimize code referenced by function pointers.
