Gilles commented on MATH-728:
-----------------------------
It would be very useful if you could provide unit tests that cover the still
unexplored code paths (cf. lines containing "throw new
PathIsExploredException();").
Thanks in advance for your contributions.
> Errors in BOBYQAOptimizer when numberOfInterpolationPoints is greater than
> 2*dim+1
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MATH-728
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-728
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: Mac Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build
> 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11M3527)
> Reporter: Bruce A Johnson
>
> I've been having trouble getting BOBYQA to minimize a function (actually a
> non-linear least squares fit) so as one change I increased the number of
> interpolation points. It seems that anything larger than 2*dim+1 causes an
> error (typically at
> line 1662
> interpolationPoints.setEntry(nfm, ipt,
> interpolationPoints.getEntry(ipt, ipt));
> I'm guessing there is an off by one error in the translation from FORTRAN.
> Changing the BOBYQAOptimizerTest as follows (increasing number of
> interpolation points by one) will cause failures.
