To be extended in future versions. -- Accompanying idiomatic F# module. +- Linear least-squares fitting (regression) to lines, polynomials and linear combinations of arbitrary functions. +- Also works well in F# with the F# extensions. ### New: Root Finding -- We now provide basic root finding algorithms. To be extended in future versions. -- Accompanying idiomatic F# module. - Brent algorithm. *~Candy Chiu* - Bisection algorithm. *~Scott Stephens* -- Hybrid versions of Newton-Raphson and Bisection that try to recover automatically in cases where they usually would fail. This modification makes them more robust e.g. in the presence of singularities and less sensitive to the search range/interval. -- Most algorithms support a TryFind-pattern which returns success instead of throwing an exception.
