(x, f, epsilon=None, args=(), kwargs={})[source]¶ Calculate Hessian with complex-step derivative approximation
- Parameters
- xarray_like
value at which function derivative is evaluated
- f
function
function of one array f(x)
- epsilon
float
stepsize, if None, then stepsize is automatically chosen
- Returns
- hess
ndarray
array of partial second derivatives, Hessian
- hess
Notes
based on equation 10 in M. S. RIDOUT: Statistical Applications of the Complex-step Method of Numerical Differentiation, University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.
The stepsize is the same for the complex and the finite difference part.
