The algorithm xml file contains information on the algorithm that you want to use to fit data. The following algorithms can be used:
- Levenberg-Marquardt (local optimization, very fast)
- Simulated Annealing (local optimization, fast)
- Particle Swarm Optimization (global optimization, good convergence)
- Bees algorithm (global optimization, explore the landscape)
- Genetic algorithm (global optimization, good convergence)
- Nested Sampling (global optimization, good convergence)
- Markov Chain Monte Carlo (global optimization, good convergence)
- Interval Nested Sampling (global optimization, fast convergence)
- Error Estimation
Example:
1 Levenberg-Marquardt 1.e-3 10 6 1e-6 yes default yes Rest Frequency [MHz] T_mb [K] no
Remarks:
- algorithms can be combined
