Mopti

Mopti is a multivariate optimization library in Ruby. Mopti supports Nelder-Mead simplex method and Scaled Conjugate Gradient.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mopti'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mopti

Example 1. Linear Regression with Nelder-Mead simplex method

require 'numo/narray'
require 'numo/gnuplot'
require 'mopti'

# Define objective function.
obj_fnc = proc do |w, x, y|
  n_samples = x.shape[0]
  ((y - x.dot(w))**2).sum.fdiv(n_samples)
end

# Explanatory variables.
x = Numo::DFloat[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

# Dependent variables.
y = 3 * x + 2

# Extend variable for intercept.
xb = Numo::DFloat.vstack([x, [1] * x.size]).transpose.dup

# Optimize parameter vectors.
res = Mopti::minimize(algorithm: 'Nelder-Mead', fnc: obj_fnc, x_init: Numo::DFloat.zeros(2), args: [xb, y])

# Output result.
pp res

a, b = res[:x].to_a
Numo.gnuplot do
  set(terminal: 'png')
  set(output: 'example1.png')
  plot [[0, 10], [a * x[0] + b, a * x[-1] + b], w: :lines, lw: 1, t: 'parameters'],
       [x, y, pt: 6, ps: 2, t: 'data']
end

$ brew install gnuplot
$ gem install mopti numo-narray numo-gnuplot
$ ruby example1.rb
{:x=>Numo::DFloat(view)#shape=[2]

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
