incorporate a similar MATLAB function in JSL

ParametricStudy — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 21:16:26 GMT

Hello,

does anyone know any JSL function or any method to incorporate the fminbnd (MATLAB) function in JSL or like the polyfit/polyval functions?

thanks !

I would most likely start by searching JMP's Scripting Index (Help / Scripting Index). If you have JMP17 you can also try using Help / Search JMP. JMP documentation can be found from JMP Help but the search is pretty horrible (you can of course try it first), so you might be better off using google with something like polynomial fit site:https://www.jmp.com/support/help.

help->scripting index, then search for the minimize function. It looks like fminbnd is a 1D version of minimize.

@Craige_Hales and @jthi have pointed accurately to the Minimize() function.

However, it may be better to step back and ask what you're actually looking to do. MATLAB and JMP have very different usage paradigms, but some overlap in functional outcomes.

If you're looking to optimize a specific function you may find that the Profiler works better for you interactively and visually than approaching it through programming (with JSL).

What's your goal and what do you have to start with?
