I check the code in minbleicoptimize. The annotation said it uses the LBFGS to determine the direction, but why the website claims that the algorithm uses nonlinear conjugate gradient? Am I missing something? Attach is the annotation in the source code. /* * 1. Calculate search direction D according to L-BFGS algorithm * using constrained preconditioner to perform inner multiplication. * 2. Evaluate scaled length of direction D; restart LBFGS if D is zero * (it may be possible that we found minimum, but it is also possible * that some constraints need deactivation) * 3. If D is non-zero, try to use previous scaled step length as initial estimate for new step. */
