Added

  • Adds CL header containing the signature of a CL function. Modified the evaluation models to not be a model but contain a model.

  • Adds mot_data_struct as a basic type for communicating data to the user provided functions.

Fixed

  • Fixed the rician MLE estimator. The square root was missing since the optimization routines do the squaring.

Other

  • Converted all priors to CLFunctions.
  • Instead of the square root in the model, we take the square root in the LM method instead.
  • Made the KernelInputData not contain the name, but let the encapsulating dictionary contain it instead. Made more things a CLFunction and made the library functions such that the contain just one function (trying to). Updates to the evaluation model to be more of a builder for the LL and evaluation function rather then to have the evaluation model be a function itself. The latter needs more work.
  • Aligned the interface of the NamedCLFunction with the CLFunction for a possible merge in the future.

Changed

  • Update to the documentation

v0.3.1 (2017-07-25)

Added

Other

  • The model builder now actually follows the builder pattern, as such model.build() needs to be called before the model and the result needs to be passed to the optimization routines.

  • Removed the objective function and LL function and replaced it with objective_per_observation and LL_per_observation.
  • Introduced get_pre_eval_parameter_modifier in the model interface for obvious speed gains.
  • Undid previous commit, it was not needed.
