de.jungblut.math.DoubleVector minimize(CostFunction f,
                                       de.jungblut.math.DoubleVector theta,
                                       int maxIterations,
                                       boolean verbose)

Minimizes the given costfunction with the starting parameter theta.

Parameters:

f - the costfunction to minimize.

theta - the starting parameters.

maxIterations - the number of iterations to do.

verbose - if TRUE it will print progress.

Returns:

the optimized theta parameters.
