Gilles Sadowski commented on MATH-1394:
---------------------------------------

bq.  I was wondering if I can use the clustering apis that common-maths have

Sure; it's always better if we can reuse existing code.
Note that there are some issues with the design of the clustering functionality 
(reported on JIRA).  Eventually, fixing those would allow the refactored code 
to be moved to a new (maven) module.

> An open source implementation of the DIRECT global optimizer, described by 
> Jones, Perttunen and Stuckmann, implementing 
> math3.optim.nonlinear.scalar.MultivariateOptimizer, is available as 
> DIRECTOptimizer.java at 
> https://github.com/edwardkort/WWIDesigner/tree/optimizer/WWIDesigner/src/main/com/wwidesigner/math.
>   There are also three variants of the algorithm on that page: 
> DIRECT_L_Optimizer implements DIRECT-L by Gablonsky and Kelley, 
> DIRECT1Optimizer changes which sides are chosen for dividing, and 
> DIRECTCOptimizer adds alternative ways to select potentially-optimal 
> hyperrectangles.
> DIRECT is not as fast as BOBYQA, but is better at finding a global minimum in 
> a field of many local minima.
> JUnit tests for all of these, using standard optimizer test functions, are 
> available in 
> https://github.com/edwardkort/WWIDesigner/tree/optimizer/WWIDesigner/src/test/com/wwidesigner/math.
