FiniteDiffDerivative.compute(*args)[source]

Compute the derivative matrix.

Parameters:

*args (list) – Arguments of the objective function where the derivative is to be evaluated at.

Returns:

D (ndarray of float) – derivative of f evaluated at x, where f is the output of the function fun and x is the input argument at position argnum. Exact shape and meaning will depend on “mode”
