Hi,
How to use the Levenberg-Marquardt solver if it is hard to get the analytic expression of the Jacobian function?
Can Alglib handle it with approximate Jacobian like other solvers (such as levmar)?

As of 3.0.0, ALGLIB doesn't have built-in numerical differentiation or other means of approximating Jacobian (like secant updates). You can differentiate Jacobian numerically and pass results to ALGLIB solver; I'd recommend using 4-point numerical differences.

Last few days I was working on version of LM which will have built-in numerical differentiation combined with secant updates. But it will be ready at the end of next week only.

Good to know that. Thanks a lot!
