| | Building Optimization Functions for Julia In hopes of adding enough statistical functionality to Julia to make it usable for my day-to-day modeling projects, I've written a very basic implementation of the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, which I've placed in the same JuliaVsR GitHub repository that I used for the code for my previous post about Julia. For easier reading, my current code for SA is shown below: The Simulated Annealing Algorithm # simulated_annealing() # Arguments: # * cost: Function fr...
