SAS里的最优化计算源于其中的OR产品,在IML亦有一些子程序可以调用。两者的区别:
The advantages of the IML procedure are as follows:
- You can use matrix algebra to specify the objective function,
nonlinear constraints, and their derivatives in IML modules.
- The IML procedure offers several subroutines that can be used
to specify the objective function or nonlinear constraints, many of
which would be very difficult to write for the NLP procedure.
- You can formulate your own termination criteria by using the
'ptit' module argument.
