// framework, with gradients computed via numeric differentiation. For
// more information on numeric differentiation, see the wikipedia
// article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation
//
// To get an numerically differentiated cost function, you must define
// a class with an operator() (a functor) that computes the cost.
//
// The function must write the computed value in the last argument
// (the only non-const one) and return true to indicate success.
//
// For example, consider a scalar error e = x'y - a, where both x and y are
// two-dimensional column vector parameters, the prime sign indicates
// transposition, and a is a constant.
//
// To write an numerically-differentiable cost function for the above model,
// first define the object
//
// class QuadraticCostFunctor {
// public:
// explicit QuadraticCostFunctor(double a) : a_(a) {}
// bool operator()(const double* const xy, double* cost) const {
// constexpr int kInputVectorLength = 2;
// const double* const x = xy;
// const double* const y = xy + kInputVectorLength;
// *cost = x[0] * y[0] + x[1] * y[1] - a_;
// return true;
// }
//
// private:
// double a_;
// };
//
//
// Note that in the declaration of operator() the input parameters xy
// come first, and are passed as const pointers to array of
// doubles. The output cost is the last parameter.
//
// Then given this class definition, the numerically differentiated
// first order function with central differences used for computing the
// derivative can be constructed as follows.
//
// FirstOrderFunction* function
// = new NumericDiffFirstOrderFunction<MyScalarCostFunctor, CENTRAL, 4>(
// new QuadraticCostFunctor(1.0)); ^ ^ ^
// | | |
// Finite Differencing Scheme -+ | |
// Dimension of xy ------------------------+
//
//
// In the instantiation above, the template parameters following
// "QuadraticCostFunctor", "CENTRAL, 4", describe the finite
// differencing scheme as "central differencing" and the functor as
// computing its cost from a 4 dimensional input.
//
// If the size of the parameter vector is not known at compile time, then an
// alternate construction syntax can be used:
//
// FirstOrderFunction* function
// = new NumericDiffFirstOrderFunction<MyScalarCostFunctor, CENTRAL>(
// new QuadraticCostFunctor(1.0), 4);
//
// Note that instead of passing 4 as a template argument, it is now passed as
// the second argument to the constructor.
