Abstract:
Implementations of Brent's (1973) PRincipal AXIS (PRAXIS) algorithm in the widely used C and PASCAL programming languages are presented The algorithm minimizes a multivariate function without using derivatives. An example computer program that calculates a maximum likelihood estimate of the parameters of a psychometric function illustrates the use of the routine. Another algorithm, Localmin, also due to Brent (1973), efficiently finds the minimum of a univariate function. An example program uses this algorithm to estimate the polychoric correlation coefficient from a p x q table of observed frequencies.
