statsmodels.tools.numdiff.approx_hess3¶
- statsmodels.tools.numdiff.approx_hess3(x, f, epsilon=None, args=(), kwargs={})[source]¶
Calculate Hessian with finite difference derivative approximation
- Parameters:
- xarray_like
value at which function derivative is evaluated
- f
function
function of one array f(x, *args, **kwargs)
- epsilon
float
or array_like,optional
Stepsize used, if None, then stepsize is automatically chosen according to EPS**(1/4)*x.
- args
tuple
Arguments for function f.
- kwargs
dict
Keyword arguments for function f.
- Returns:
- hess
ndarray
array of partial second derivatives, Hessian
- hess
Notes
Equation (9) in Ridout. Computes the Hessian as:
1/(4*d_j*d_k) * ((f(x + d[j]*e[j] + d[k]*e[k]) - f(x + d[j]*e[j] - d[k]*e[k])) - (f(x - d[j]*e[j] + d[k]*e[k]) - f(x - d[j]*e[j] - d[k]*e[k]))
where e[j] is a vector with element j == 1 and the rest are zero and d[i] is epsilon[i].
